The squeezed middle class is struggling to thrive in the modern market economy. More than half say they find it tough to keep up with household bills or have less than one month's income in savings, but just who are they? Winifred heads to Northamptonshire to find out. In the wake of the thousands of job cuts a new type of shop is set for rapid expansion. We look at the rise of the hybrid store. And stand-up comedian Tom Wrigglesworth tells us what turned him on to being a consumer champion.
