Poorer children disproportionately affected by austerity


	Quote: Austerity policies and and welfare cuts are causing poverty and inequality, according to a damning United Nations (UN) investigation into children’s rights in the UK. The UN committee on the rights of the child said it was “seriously concerned” about the disproportionate impact on poorer children of a range of government policies, from the benefit cap and tax credit cuts to mental health.

Re: Poorer children disproportionately affected by austerity

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to find that a Tory government would be driving down living standards for the poorest in society. It must be for their own good or something.

Indeed, create a distinct poorer class and the majority in the working/middle don't feel so hard done by.

Re: Poorer children disproportionately affected by austerity

To be honest, cuts will always affect the poorest more, regardless of who makes them. The rich can always pay for things themselves, the poor can't
