Because – as we in the Citizens Advice network can attest – the cost of living crisis we’ve been experiencing for years isn’t over. What the cost of living crisis did – and is doing – is entrench and exacerbate existing inequality. Yet what tends to happen is that the media, policymakers and governments get stuck in an endless run of individual moments. Then the following week the Scottish Government announced its Housing Emergency Action Plan and suddenly the story was all about the housing crisis. And before anyone else says it, I freely admit that we at CAS – and perhaps other charities too – can sometimes fall into the trap of playing the moments game.
