Cafe owner goes without eating to help pay bills

Steve Jackson sleeps on the floor of his cafe as he can't always afford the petrol to get home. He also goes without food for days to help him pay the bills.
Mr Jackson, who owns Jacksonwood Vintage Tea Rooms in Sheerness High Street, Kent, said he has lost half of his trade since the cost of living crisis started earlier this year and expects to have to close within weeks.
He said: "There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I've done everything possible and can't seem to make a living."
