Has the government done enough to convince voters it is tackling the cost of living crisis? ITV News Political Correspondent Carl Dinnen reports
A senior Cabinet minister has sparked fury by telling struggling households they could manage their budget better through the cost-of-living crisis by "going for some of the value brands products" when food shopping.
The comments from Environment Secretary George Eustice won immediate condemnation, with the Lib Dems attacking the "patronising" advice and Labour saying it shows the government is "woefully out of touch".
While Sir Keir Starmer has said police have not contacted him again after closing an investigation into an alleged breach of Covid lockdown rules.
The Labour leader was asked if he had been questioned by officers since an initial probe, after photos showed him having a beer and a takeaway in the office of City of Durham MP Mary Foy while campaigning ahead of the Hartlepool by-election.
