ONE in five LGBT workers have skipped meals or gone without food, a TUC survey reveals.

The union federation said that the cost-of-living crisis had hit LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) workers hard, as it revealed the poll findings ahead of its annual LGBT+ conference, which opens in London today.

The survey of 1,000 LGBT people also found that 56 per cent said they had cut back on food spending.
