Autumn statement: A family's view of the economy in Cardiff

Chancellor Philip Hammond will update MPs on the government's taxation and spending plans during the Autumn Statement on Wednesday.

It will be the chancellor's first opportunity to outline his priorities in the wake of the Brexit vote.

He is expected to promise help for households only "just about managing" to make ends meet - known as JAMS.

BBC Wales spoke to mother-of-three Cathryn Scott who has concerns about her young family's future in the uncertain financial and political climate.

The 38-year-old, who writes a blog for mums living in Cardiff, is one of 201,200 self-employed workers in Wales.
