Government’s own impact assessment of its £5 billion cuts to benefits: an extra quarter of a million people including 50,000 children will be in relative poverty by 2029/30

If anyone can show me how you grow the economy by targeting people who need assistance to wash below their waist, please reply.

What the government can’t afford: ❌Lifting children out of poverty ❌Disability benefits ❌Compensation for WASPI women ❌Winter fuel allowance What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military. Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

If you’d have told me 10 years ago that we would eventually watch an unelected, tech bro ket-head throwing nazi salutes at the inauguration of a convicted felon & rapist, I don’t think I would have believed you. Sad day.
