[The Esk]

He's on the BBC now, he's just said the best way to stop using foodbanks is get a job, seriously that's what he just said.

Yet 20% of food bank users are in some form of employment........

The Royal birth can only be good for CMD.

Would be worth contrasting life chances of babies born to parents of different economic means......

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Seriously it really winds me up when I hear him say do you want to go back to more borrowing under Labour, how much has the national debt increased on your watch Dave?

One thing I can see with my own eye's in my town and the area's around me, is 2 new hospitals and 2 new schools that were built under Labour, atleast when Labour was adding to the national debt they were investing that money in bettering peoples lives, the 500+bn the Tories have added in 5 years has done nothing of the sort.

Maybe the lazy scroungers hadn't thought of that before.

Exactly, and the rest are there because of the bedroom tax and various ways they've cut welfare so much that Welfare is no longer fit for purpose.

Here's some nice work for you:

In the wake of Gove apparently flogging the party line that child poverty has been miraculously reduced under the Coalition, the Director of the Child Poverty Action Group has written this article:

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/04/how-has-coalition-done-child-poverty

She takes a different view, oddly enough:

"The analysis shows that it is children who have been hit hardest under the outgoing government. Not only do children remain the group most likely to be in poverty – twice as likely as pensioners – but the rise in the later years of this Parliament has been highest for children. The last two years show the tide turning on poverty – in the wrong direction, and to the detriment of children in particular."
