He said: "We just can't afford it with our energy bills skyrocketing and the cost of making everyday meals going through the roof. "My 15-year-old son knows we're under real pressure at the moment and has told us to not spend much on him, which brings a tear to your eye."

He said: "The cost of essentials such as milk and cheese has now got so high that I've had to stop using my electric wheelchair as much as I normally would, as that costs money to charge. "This in turn affects my wellbeing and that of my family as we can't go out together. It feels like you need to be a billionaire just to buy the basic these days. It's absolutely brutal."
