As petrol prices continue to soar to record new high's in the UK due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many people across Wales are starting to feel the pinch.

Gemma Nay said: "I'm a self employed dog walker and I have no choice but to keep driving or I have no wages. It's crazy the level of tax we pay yet as self employed I get no help with illness or medical treatment when I have to miss time off. Its 1.65p where I live costing me over £90 a week for the grace of being able to earn a wage. I have a 1 litre car so hardly a gas guzzler. It's disgusting."
