THE “cost-of-living crisis,” which is actually a crisis of capitalism, is getting worse by the day. The Morning Star recently reported that “workers are living in a nightmare.”
Inflation is running at over 10 per cent, with many basic food items rising by much more and energy bills expected to exceed £5,000 by the new year.
Yet the wages and benefits of working-class people have fallen in real terms and as many as four out of 10 households are expected to be unable to pay their bills as the year goes on.
