As the government prepares for the Chancellor’s ‘Spring Statement’, a list of Tory ‘achievements’ since 2010 has been circulating on social media. It makes the bleakest of reading:
per-pupil spending down by 8% (20% on over-16s according to BBC News last week) 1189 Sure Start centres closed 760 youth clubs closed... teens stabbed up by 93% front-line police numbers down by 21000 NHS A&E crisis at a 14-year high NHS patient satisfaction at an 11-year low of 53% rough sleeping up by an astonishing 163% Foodbank usage up to a shaming 1.3m a horrific 4.1 million children in poverty 2,620 deaths of rough sleepers two out of three children in poverty in working households – the idea that work is a route out of poverty is a lie for millions 100 NHS walk-in centres closed 600 police stations closed 675 libraries closed 760 youth centres closed 470 schools closed 50 fire stations closed 433 HMRC tax offices closed 100 Job Centres closed The hidden cost of austerity causing death, poverty & suicide – and easily avoidable.

Don’t believe the hype - work is no longer the way out of poverty - the Tories have seen to that. Record employment means absolutely nothing in the face of so many people being underemployed through zero hour contracts.
“After the longest period of wage stagnation in 200 years, it should come as no surprise that many workers are struggling to make ends meet. According to our research, one in three workers are in that situation. When asked, less than a third of workers think the economy works well for them and over half say their jobs are becoming increasingly stressful.”

Pension changes that will make at least 60,000 pensioners Worst off
60,000 of the least well-off pensioners with partners of working age are set to lose up to seven thousand pounds a year as a result of benefit changes designed to save £1bn over the next five years!!
🔷️The change, which was slipped out in January on the evening of a #Brexit vote, was condemned by charities as a stealth cut which would drive up pensioner poverty, although at the time there were no details of ...how many people would be affected.
🔷️As well as moving pensioners on to universal credit, a working-age benefit designed to incentivise work, the move means that affected mixed-age couples in social homes are likely to be be subject to the #bedroomtax – a £14 a week average loss in rent support from which pensioners were previously exempt.
🔻Tom Selby, senior analyst at financial services firm AJ Bell, said: “Tens of thousands of mixed-age couples are facing a £1 billion hit as a result of the government’s pension credit raid. With pension credit worth up to £13,273 a year, versus £5,986 a year for universal credit, at the extreme those affected could be over £7,000 a year worse off.”
