The United Kingdom is engulfed in a cost-of-living crisis brought on by post-pandemic price rises and the war in Ukraine. Inflation is predicted to pass the 10 percent mark.
It’s one of the world’s richest economies, but one in five families now live in food and fuel poverty.
Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from Penrith in Cumbria.

6 children? My God how will she survive
Omg… thats too much
May God help she.amin
Keep to the basic items, no frills, she will survive.
Single mother with more children than can be raised under a standard income in the UK.
She is doing fine really. She is obviously not starving.
Britain’s decision to exit the EU has caused uncertainty in the markets, meaning the pound is currently worth less than it once was. In turn, goods imported to the UK are costing more, which goes for oil too. High fuel price lead to high inflation.
@Graham T Perhaps all of them could have a potential impact on UK’s current situation and economy
@exodus007 Brexit is done now so no use crying about it. Might as well just try and make the best of it.
@Graham T I think the EU is still prepared to welcome back the UK, but with conditions.
How many million Brits become poorer?
Six kids?!? And unable to care for them. Bad choices.
A hundred years ago people had a lot more worse than this, but they still had around this number of kids and they didn’t think them as “bad choices” or “bad decisions”. I don’t think a consenting adult having kids is ever a bad choice. God provides. My own parents have had 6 children.
@Perplexahedron
Agree!
My grandparents had ten kids and managed No government assistance from our USA nor state assistance.
Thank God or I wouldn’t be here today.
It’s extremely important that we do not blame the individuals for this situation. It is a lack of effective governance that has led to this situation, not individual choice. The fact that it is happening to so many people is evidence of this. It is traumatic enough not be able to feed yourself and your family, we need to be supporting each other as best we can – not tearing each other down.
@sarah1of4 absolutely.
But the countries has billions of free money for Ukraine 🤷🏿♂️
@isa L zele has a 35 million dollars mansion in Florida near Sylvester Stallone and other Hollywood movie actors. An x comedian, how tha heck he made that much money and able to buy 35 million dollars Mansion? Where the 💰 comes from? 😂
@isa L oh the cl0ne? The real Boris is away from UK.
Yes but the worst will happen after the rapture: soon “a loaf of bread will cost a days wages”, read Revelation 6!
We are living in the E N D times, the 7year Tribulation with the world leader (Antichrist, 666) is right around the corner, that’s GOD’S judgement upon all unbelievers! But there is hope – get saved and be rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!!
Please study biblical end times prophecy; listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.

Say it again 🤦♀️
Worse is yet to come !
This so Sad… It totally broke my Heart. In America it’s not like that
You have to be kidding me. Take a better look at America then.
How delightfully naive
Yeah I know it’s worse in America.
She’s not taking benefits?
And gov just give money to war and people is died in the streets…
I thought uk has one of the best welfare systems..
@Nifty Senior citizen I am and worked hard all my life and I don’t want to be dead
But there’s no even small assistance for the majority of us elderly here in USA
@D. Gardiner their will be less very soon best to not rely on anyone but yourself for all situations if possible and to always ALWAYS C.Y.A.
Normal is over and the worst will happen after the rapture: soon “a loaf of bread will cost a days wages”, read Revelation 6!

Boris Johnson is the main suspect
well the mighty brits are now in The US, Australia and many more coIonieal territory.
6 is too much
Six kids from Six different men
This is disgraceful
The question is how much does the looted wealth last. It’s diminishing now and so is their future.
Good luck from INDIA 🇮🇳🙏
@Ankur Sharma There is only rich and poor and only 1% are rich.
@Ankur Sharma Why glory to Rushi. Is it just because he is rich?
@Graham T He is Bharatvanshi Hindu and next Chakravarty Samrat of U.K
@Ankur Sharma India’s population had quadrupled
You should thank the Europeans for helping you exist. Without their agricultural technology like Fritz Haber fertilizer you’d be only 400 million people
You benefit from the compound yields of western technology
Victim forrrever crying fooorrr a liffe timmme ahh its good to be a victim always claim the morale high ground for all Eternity lol
It’s a seriously grim siutation. Our local community food groups are struggling to meet the demand and are worried they’re going to have to close due to lack of food and funds. Benefits aren”t covering basic costs and people in-work are increasingly reaching out for help. Winter is going to be even worse. There’s absolutely no excuse. Our government should be ashamed but they simply do not care.
While the UK spends money on ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
Don’t have 6 kids.
And the debate for a new prima minister was to fight China and Russia,while their own citizens are suffering.More money for Ukraine
Remember how Iraqi people survived their hard time, after the brutal invasion of US&UK.
@HC Lau I don’t like war
@Mariam boyfriend, adultery, marrying a non Muslim all these things are prohibited in Islam.
Send more money for ukrain
Dont worry. The daily mail comment section has already solved the problem. Apparently, you just get a job. Who would of thought it was that easy?
6 kids? No man ?
Would you like to be THE MAN needing to feed SIX children?
Blame the powers behind the politicians, the banksters, the b!lderburgers. And the Z words, the ones your not allowed to mention. The writing is on the wall, its been there for a while and its there for all to see. If you care to boycott mainstream media and look under the surface, that is
Your house is by storm, who is chasing profits,
but whoever hates corrupt gifts will live.
these people that have 5 children are retarded
But both the two candidates thought China was U.K. largest threat.
Kind of like it was done on purpose 🤣😂😅😭
Give your thanks to BoJo the 🤡 🤣🤣🤣
Self imposed sanctions! Where’s the stolen gold from Venezuela?
Sharia is the answer. Its always the answer.
Sure it’s working so well in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries!
@Quetta Gladiator But Ali Dawah, Mohammed Hijab, Daniel Haqiqatju, Ninja Mommy and other Jihadi burqa clad and hijabi women on social media has already said so. Sharia is the best.
Uk should expend their empire again. Build navy ship like thousand and start colonising and looting countries like India or Pakistan or Africa again. God Gold and Glory
The american dream is alive and well they say
yep.
Even the mother if she couldn’t afford anything i don’t know why she needs so many children
circumstances can change in a heartbeat. There may have been a point when she could provide, don’t be so judgemental when you don’t know someone’s story.
And yet energy companies globally are reporting record breaking earnings
Welcome to the everyday life of poor people around the world….why have so many kids when you can’t feed them…..isn’t that how the Brits treat other ethnicities in the 3rd world…..‼⁉️🇺🇸
6 children! Stop having Children you can’t afford you morons!
6 children?
If they’re smart they would have built a natural gas pipeline from Russia.
But they’re too stupid.
Britain looted 40 trillion from India 🇮🇳 now they paying off for that
4/5 goes to overseas for holidays/shoping
UK Looted india more then 200 yrs after 70 years of indias independence uk going to bankrupt …UK Survived till now just because of indias resource
we must thank to Putin, the criminal dictator and to Russia the Great PLAQUE of human kind
@Imtiaz Mohammad Afghanistan was invaded and occupied by Russia. LOL
@Imtiaz Mohammad If you think the life of this poor people in this Muslim country will be better with associations wit Russia. . .you are deadly wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You will miss the western masters 🤣🤣🤣
Six kids?? 😨😱
Alimony
Six kids from Six different man
dont have 6 children then simples !!!
But BBC ,sky news are saying that Russians are the one who is out of food
What about the father(s) of her 6 children, why aren’t thy helping out?
Meanwhile, severe childhood poverty has been cut in half in the U.S.
Voting matters. Replace pro-corporate welfare politicians prescribing “austerity” for everyone else with pro-labor politicians wisely prescribing investment in the future with higher quality education policies, and who are serious about a robust social safety net.
Really? What is your source of evidence?
Stop spreading lies
And.. the circus in local politics
So leadership is all about scaremongering and imaginary threats from faraway China. Not about good education and well-being for ordinary folks?
Well if you fought American war on your own taxpayers money then end result is what to be expected
russian propaganda
mr silly it’s an American chanel
Support Ukraine. Bankrupt the UK.
Gogogo Slava Ukraini’s they need yoyr money more than UK citizens.
Are the British enjoying sanctioning Russia yet?
These women grow up in low income communities and see how people live, but still they cannot stop from having multiple kids and bringing them up in poverty.
and the hundreds of thousands of single women with kids get absolutely no support from the donors. They expect taxpayers to pay for them and their kids.
The government also has billions to spend on Africa the Middle East and 10000s of illegals
Vid starts with (single? that wasn’t clear) mother of six. How about don’t have so many kids? WTF? I’m not unsympathetic but, honestly, self-inflicted wounds. These folks living paycheck to paycheck are more than happy to spend their money on non essentials when times are good instead of preparing for those rainy days. Take some responsibility. I see it here in the US all the time. I don’t like to see anyone suffer but I shouldn’t be on the hook for their bad life decisions.
All I thought was contraception
Its simple they have to work hard, there is more jobs now in UK because of Brexit.
Just wait, world war lll soon to come
People, you’re not the ones failing. It’s your government.
Give them high quality food! For sure they need the support but not with products that are also destroying their health. If you want children to grow up to become self aware, give them natural food, nutritional meals.
put more sanctions on Russia and China, Britain would be better

It’s disgusting it’s only going to get alot worse
Don’t forget to send more donation to ukraine so they can enjoy parties in Kiev. Well done to your son citizens.
Iam wondering why didn’t saudi, uae didn’t took any Ukrainian women refugees in? I mean those people are obsessed with white women, so why didn’t they
