Some 70% of voters believe that recent improvements in the economy have not benefited middle and low-income families, according to polling released by Labour today.

Labour said that there was a growing "cost of living crisis", with working people earning an average of £1,350 a year less than when the coalition Government took office in 2010, as prices rise faster than wages.
