Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Wednesday, 09-Oct-2024 20:10:42 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May
The picture of the UK painted by the latest report on poverty & reliance on food banks by Trussell makes for grim reading.
This is not just about inequality, but also about absolute levels of poverty in this country.
Certainly no-one could expect a Govt. to reverse this trend in their first 100 days, but the Q. is whether Labour will go beyond declaratory politics & actually shift policies to help the poor & vulnerable?
Many fear they will not!
