    In answer to your question " Are the poor getting poorer"

    100% yes.

    Since 2019 household income has fallen for the poorest.
    Those unable to heat their home has risen from 4% to 11%
    Child poverty is at 25%, which is pretty shocking.

    And all these measures are rising at 1.5% a year.

    In a country that has a lot of wealth I find it pretty disgusting how the poorest are constantly made out to be the problem, when the problem is at the top.

    The corruption allowed to go on, encouraged by the Tories, is sickening, just have a look at how the utility companies are run.

    There needs to be a complete rethink on the way wealth is being distributed.

      I think data suggests that the poorer aren’t any better off than they were 20 years ago which is unusual as living standards have got better over a period of time but covid (fuel costs) have had a huge impact over the last couple of years as prior to that the graph continued to improve.
      What isn’t taken into account that have seen huge changes in the quality of life. We now have power to our homes ( gas/electric), WiFi , mobile phones , dishwashers , tv,s , washing machines etc etc . Which most didn't have 80 years ago so quality of life is so much more improved and consequently what we spend our money on has changed.

        What we had 80yrs ago has no bearing on how we live now.
        It's a bit like saying " yeah but the poor had it tougher in roman times"

        The point is there are too many people trapped in poverty with very little hope of things improving any time soon.

          No it’s really not …for 2000 years not much changed but in the last 80 years life is unrecognisable from what it was.

        Tories chose not to tackle child poverty as an idealogical choice.

        That is treason.

          There are an awful lot of parents who think their drinking, their smoking, their sky/Netflix, their phones, are more important than their children's welfare. It is not just politicians,( of any team) that causes the problems.

            The same old shit, that people use to deflect from the real problems.

            There is too much greed and corruption.

              I am sure that there are some like that but that doesn't change the facts about poverty and shouldn't be used to distract from the real issues.

                Same mindset that tars all football supporters as mindless thugs.

                    SAHB / MG, I am not deflecting from anything. I have no affiliation with any party and don't know why anyone would. I was merely making an observation on a real situation. It doesn't mean that there aren't bad parents at other levels of society.

                      Nah.

                      You regurgitate the stereotypical shite that pops up in certain newspapers and right wing trash sites.

                      You missed the big flat screen telly out though.

                      I have no idea how anyone can survive on £370 a month universal credit and smoke, drink and all the other bullshit.

                      Can you do the maths?
