Lack of action over cost of living crisis 'a national scandal'

I use capitals due to our MPs not appearing to notice.

There is no call to reconvene Parliament. No calls for the end of the Tory race and to get back to work. This is serious.

While the scandal goes on we can lay it squarely at this Government’s door.

RELATED NEWS: 

• The Hereford sharing scheme that’s about much more than food
• Cooking tips for Herefordshire families ‘throwing money down the drain’
• Almost nine in 10 UK adults worried about energy prices – survey

The Government is missing in action and the date nears for the energy price hike in October, the silence is deafening, not only from our own MPs or the Government but also from local government.

The scandal is that there is no word from any of them about how we will protect our people and our communities from this.

OTHER LETTERS:

• 'Overzealous green agendas' in Hereford are wasting our money
• Herefordshire history must be celebrated after hoard find
• Unsightly Hereford needs better looking after

We have no poverty strategy here, no means of identifying those at risk, those who will die, it is that serious.

It is being played down while people wait for handouts. When will any government department stand up and say that it understands the gravity of the situation?

People are scared, people will starve, people will freeze to death. Wake up, the lot of you!
