• Universal Credit is so poor many people with mortgages etc. (not the "traditionally poor") and skilled jobs have to go to the foodbank after paying their bills.

    working poverty. There's a food bank opposite my flat and every day the queue is a bit longer.

  • Yep and there is more working poverty than before, it's only gone up the past years.

    The attitude towards benefits is really positive at the moment, just after the 2008 crash (when there were no jobs...I don't understand people... 🙄) it was very negative.

    Perhaps if Labour gets in 4 years on (if...) they can make amendments if attitudes are still good but big IFs...
