Fact-check: Shadow cabinet member uses misleading £2,600 cost of living figure on BBC, ITV and Sky - Full Fact
Verdict: this figure appears to be based on a previous labour estimate for how much worse off families will be this year, which used unreliable assumptions and excluded changes to wages and benefits. independent estimates suggest the average household will be significantly worse off in 2022/23, but by less than labour's figure of £2,620.
