Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not introduce any immediate measures to help people with the cost of living ahead of the appointment of his successor

Mr Johnson’s spokesman said today it would be up to his successor to make any decisions on further help for millions of struggling people.

However the government is facing growing pressure to do more to ease the crisis. LBC has received multiple calls from people struggling in the crisis, including mothers going several days without a square meal who have been forced to eat their children’s leftovers. "The Prime Minister and Chancellor should be taking the next few weeks to grip the emerging crisis and the planning required to tackle it. This will also give their successor - whomever that may be - the very best chance of getting quickly out of the blocks."

But the spokesman added that any further measures would be a matter for Mr Johnson's successor once the Tory leadership contest concludes. Responding to this, Labour's shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said: "People are worried sick about how they'll pay their bills and do their weekly food shop, and all this Tory Prime Minister does is shrug his shoulders.

Mr Brown added: "The facts right now are grim: four in every five pensioners, four in every five single parents and four in every five large families face fuel poverty - that's when their energy bills come to more than 10 per cent of their weekly incomes.

Boris Johnson's allies launch effort to stop him being kicked out of the CommonsTwo Boris Johnson allies have launched an attack on the upcoming partygate investigation, which could the Prime Minister booted out of the House of Commons. The politicians who had no confidence in him, voted him out for good reason. Ousted, is ousted. Attacks on this ex-PM, are justified. They who're loyal to the cynical Johnson? Probably have much to hide too. After all, the two involved here, are the most debased of low creatures. This investigation must happen! We need trust back in our politics! It’s a total farce right now! Democracy is dead. They can’t keep blaming everyone else. Enough! So much misery out here. 😢😡 We need closure gone on far to long!
