Philip Alston reports on poverty in the UK

Why don't yous like what's getting said the truth hurts but fact nevertheless

What about the couple who killed themselves because they could not get benefits the British government should hold there heads in shame and it's not that great here in Ireland

No such thing as poverty. Get a job. Ppl on benifits should get food stamps n nothing else. Why should ppl pay for these parasites to lazy to work or having kids n expecting me to pay n raise em? They’ve always got a sob story

Freeloaders will always blame everybody else for their own failings... scumbags

Is it a fact I worked 37 years and had too go on Benefits let me tell you all its soding hard loved the day I got my Oap not all people who are on Benefits are Freeloaders

Those women didn’t look too starved to me!!!! 😕😕😕😕

Why when we have this situation is our country spending between 13.4 and 14.5 billion a year on foreign aid.......

This goverment should be ashamed we are living below the poverty line and cant see a way out .

Remember most people are 2 wage packets from destitution. The benefit system is there to support those less fortunate than ourselves. It does NOT give you permission to look down your noses at anyone or think your 12p per day contribution is anything to shout about and beat your chest. Half of you look like you don't work yourselves or have paid NI contributions. Make that settle. Not nice to be labelled as something you may not be does it? My neighbour has also worked since she was 14. She had cancer treatment and gave up work. Her life is barely reasonable but she is alive and claims benefits. Good on her. There is Poverty on benefits. People with disabilities have been suffering for years.

Disgusting policies by disgusting politicians. Labour should be wiping the floor with the Tories.

Breach of basic fundamental human rights every single one knows if they don't then is purely a distance between people and government

The government hasn't got a clue about the real world!!!

😮🤭

Easy to prove wrong just ask her whole senior management team go on universal credit for a month.

It's plain to see, both are feeding themselves well enough.

More proof that they don't care

Tories.

Liar

Conscious cruelty.

Why the hell aren’t the people of the uk standing up to this government it’s a joke they are as much to blame as the Tory’s them selves
