As a candidate in the upcoming parliamentary by-election in Wakefield, the BBC asked our candidate, Ashlea Simon, to take part in a mini-series addressing the cost of living crisis.

The BBC website reads:

"The rising cost of living due to increases in food, fuel and energy prices has had an impact on people's finances across the UK."

"Ahead of the forthcoming Wakefield by-election the BBC asked candidates to outline in sixty seconds how they would tackle the issue."
