I REFER to your article from Charlotte Nichols MP Warrington North regarding the cost of living having risen.

Ms Nichols fails to see the reasons behind rising costs.

The war in Ukraine isn’t helping.

Ukraine is probably the biggest provider of wheat and dairy products in Europe.

The conflict in the country isn’t helping together with transport and export issues.

The Suez Canal is also affecting oil exports /imports.
