'I'm absolutely dreading winter. It used to cost £20 a week for gas during winter, now we're spending that in the summer and we're only using it for showers and cooking'

Energy price cap: Mum with young baby forced to use foodbank ‘feels sick’ at thought of bills rising further

Tameside East Foodbank in Greater Manchester is already feeding twice as many people as it used to when it first opened a decade ago, says coordinator Jean Fitzsimons. The food bank has leaflets on where to get help and now does ‘kettle packs’ of meals that don’t require gas to cook. She pays for gas and electricity via a pre-payment meter and is doing everything possible to make their money stretch as far as possible.

Unfortunately he already has Archie's a handsome young man, a really beautiful kid, its such a tradegy he's suffered a demise in this way, so young. I hope his parents & family find the strength to let him go. The medics could be wrong but they're clearly not going to let Archie live to prove it. It's sad. But he’s not breathing for himself? This is heartbreaking for any parent, but they need to think about his quality of life not theirs 😔

Archie Battersbee's mum slams 'execution' as 12-year-old's life support to be stopped todayArchie Battersbee's parents have said they will submit one final bid to postpone the withdrawal of his life support, as they slammed the 'cruel' hospital for giving up on their son. I feel so much for them. Doctors and the government should not decide what's best for Archie. I hope and pray they win. I wonder if this would of gone on for this long if this was in the USA and they were being charged for his care..
