Nearly half of Britain's 68 million people to be poor soon
'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."
Too little, too late, I fear. The world's scammers have moved on from Covid onto climate fear, 'war in Ukraine' and other wheezes to con the taxpayers.
But at least preventing further harm to taxpayers who expect honest medical care is a worthy goal.
