Concerns grow across UK about looming cost-of-living crisis

Rising energy costs and clawbacks on government pandemic benefits are leading to what many see as a looming cost-of-living crisis in the UK.

Speaking at the annual conference of the ruling Conservative Party, Finance Minister Rishi Sunak said it would be immoral to keep loading debt onto future generations. He said it was also time to raise taxes.
