    This didn't need a fucking think-tank. The poor in Britain have known this for a looong fucking time. They bore the brunt of every spending cut enacted by the Tories for the past 20 years.

    Ya think?

    I’m lucky enough to be reasonably well off, and seeing the price of gas and electricity I’ve had to cut back elsewhere, take showers at work etc. to keep the same amount of savings, paying mortgage etc.

    Imagining not having nearly as much to cut back on, no showers at work, can’t cycle to work and more isn’t hard, as it’s obviously just such a shit situation and yet those in power at Westminster seem completely oblivious to it
