Since when do I not give a sh it about people? There is a difference between giving a sh it and being detached from reality. You think The Great Leader is the answer. What is he offering other than borrowing for future generations to pay off?
The JRF report clearly states in the first few lines that although poverty rates had dramatically fallen in the last twenty years for certain groups, poverty rates for those groups have started to rise again...

direct quote;

"Over the last 20 years, the UK has dramatically reduced poverty among people who had traditionally been most at risk – pensioners and certain types of families with children. But that progress is beginning to unravel; poverty rates for both groups have started to rise again.

The analysis highlights that the three factors which have led to a fall in poverty and are now under question; state support for many of those on low incomes is falling in real terms, rents are increasing, and rising employment is no longer reducing poverty. As a result, JRF is calling for a national mission to transform the prospects of millions of people living in poverty in the UK.

This is the first report to assess the progress the UK is making in reducing poverty rates and tackling the underlying drivers of poverty since the publication of JRF’s We Can Solve Poverty in the UK in 2016".

Proving that in work poverty is rising, state support for the poorest is falling, proving that this gov't cares only for the rich, and ergo if you support this gov't, you're doing the same Kerr, so don't cherry pick to suit your argument, the fact is that by supporting this gov't you're actively supporting the rise in homelessness, the rise in poverty, the scandalous attack on the country's poorest, well done fella, well done, hope you're mum's proud.
