We caught up with Sarah and Paul during the peak of the cost of living crisis. They say little has changed and their struggle is shaping their vote one way or another.

'We eat according to price rather than enjoyment,' Sarah Bowmer tells me when we meet on the high street of her hometown of Bakewell, Derbyshire. It's a sunny day and the tourists have flocked to this picturesque market town in the heart of the Peak District. Day-trippers wander around the souvenir shop and queues have formed to buy the famous Bakewell pudding, which has made this town famous since the 1820s. But Sarah isn't feeling it.

'The problem is here now' When I met Sarah and Paul again, it is early November, the days are short and there's a cold snap on the way, with temperatures forecast to drop below zero. We sit around their kitchen table and talk. Paul says their money is not going very far. 'We go for a normal everyday shop, which used to be about maybe £20 to £30 has now turned into £70,' he said.
