Hunger and weight loss in one of the biggest economies in the world - BBC Newsnight

New figures from the Trussell Trust seen by Newsnight show the nature and scale of food insecurity across the UK. 11 million people - 14% of all UK adults or their households - have experienced it in the year up to last summer.

Yesterday bosses of four of the big #supermarkets denied making too much #money from soaring #prices, telling MPs the industry is 'the most competitive' it's ever been.

#Food inflation on things like bread, cereal, and chocolate has come down slightly, although remains very high at 18.3% - double the headline rate.

Newsnight’s Economics Editor Ben Chu meets some of those most under pressure, in South Shields, North East England.
