Nearly half of Britain's 68 million people to soon be poor - 'Green and pleasant land' no more.
"UK is on the cusp of the greatest cost-of-living crisis in modern times according to a report by the New Economics Foundation.
"30 million people in Britain will be unable to afford what the public considers to be a decent standard of living by the time the current Parliament ends in 2024.
"Rising prices, below-inflation increases in earnings, and projected increases in unemployment will result in 43% of households lacking the resources to put enough food on the table or buy new clothes.
"By 2024, almost 90% of single parents and 50% of workers with children will fall below the minimum income standard."
On average, those falling below the threshold for a decent standard of living will be short by £10,000 ($12,422) a year, the research shows.
