Of the 169 providers, nearly 70% said they may have to turn people away or reduce the size of emergency rations this winter. Almost three-quarters said food donation levels had fallen since April, despite growing demand. The warning came amid alarming new forecasts of spiraling inflation, with pressure mounting on Liz Truss, Boris Johnson’s likely successor as prime minister, to give some indication of how she plans to tackle the cost of living emergency....

But she missed the capital. “I’m a Londoner through and through,” says Katharine, 40. “Coming back was a matter of when, not if.” This spring Katharine got a new job and started making moves to return.
