Sir Keir Starmer shared a story of how the cost-of-living crisis ;whittles away at our joy;, and said Labour must grasp big decisions for working people in the UK.After sharing a story of his own holiday to the Lake District, the Labour leader said: "The reason I remember it, the privilege of it, is because on my first day back from holiday I was in a café, in Worthing, in Sussex, talking to people."And what one woman said, really stuck in my mind. She was a single mum, two kids. And she said to me: 'It's survival mode. I can't think, 'oh let's do something nice'."There's no long-term planning. No thinking about the future. I could see the hurt in her eyes as she told me. That's what this cost-of-living crisis does."It intrudes on the little things we love. Whittles away at our joy. Days out, meals out, holidays the first things people cut back on. Picking up a treat in the supermarket just to put it back on the shelf."
