Pensioner details struggles as UK cost of living soars

79-year-old pensioner, Sheila Correll, whose energy bills have nearly trebled despite making it through the winter without her gas heating, says the government is made up of “millionaires who haven’t got a clue”. Sheila Correll said Boris Johnson should have to live for a year on her state pension as she described how she had just received a gas and electricity bill which has gone up from £38 to £96-a-month for her one-bedroom terraced house in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. Retired legal secretary Mrs Correll told the PA news agency she now has to watch every penny of her spending on food as her only income is her £182-a-week state pension.
