See, I’m more concerned about feeding the children than I am about pointing fingers. I’m sure though it has nothing to do with government policy... Still, I’ll remember your attitude tomorrow when I go into work. I’ll go into breakfast club and take away their food because their poverty isn’t...

I’m sure the 4 year olds that haven’t eaten in the morning take great comfort in your definition. You have to be some kind of heartless tool to dismiss child poverty in this country because it’s ‘not as bad’ as it is in Kenya.

I work with children who come to school without having breakfast because their families are struggling that much. I also work with families who rely on food banks so please don’t patronise me by saying I don’t understand poverty. But it’s probably because their parents smoke, drink and like...

Hey man mistakes happen especially when you type quickly :D

You’ve nicely avoided all of my points so kudos on that. And yes, I do teach spelling thanks for asking but anyone who knows anything about using a smart phone knows that they can sometimes be a bit frustrating to use due to predictive text and self corrections when spelling mistakes are made...

May I ask what you expected? To agree with you and say that it is indeed all just a matter of a difference of opinions? That may be the case if on the one hand we didn’t have a political party making millions of people worse off at the expense of the already wealthy. And, for my own...

You say it’s an impertinent statement, yet it your very first statement you said you don’t accept it (it being the lost of consequences from Tory policy). So already you’ve demonstrated the wilful ignorance I previously mentioned. This isn’t about opinion. It’s about policies and what those...

So, it’s all just made up? Out of sight out of mind eh?

When did I insult anyone who earns too much? ??? It might not cover the shortfall but the Conservative-led changes to corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and the bank levy will lose the government an estimated £70 billion between April 2016 and April 2022. Not to mention George...

But that’s my point BG. Those of us lucky enough to not experience poverty or the brunt of cuts should not ignore the fact that it is happening. I didn’t experience any of what I posted until I moved to the Midlands and became a teacher. Now I see first hand real term cuts to education and I’ve...

Didn’t May pass the ‘rape clause’? Very ‘pro woman’ That. And were the same people ‘concerned’ about women in the Labour Party the same that attacked Abbott relentlessly on a very personal level?

The income tax cut for the wealthy is one of the most emblematic budget changes of recent years, but it’s far from the only tax giveaway. The government has also slashed corporation tax while consistently failing to act on large-scale industrial levels of tax avoidance, which was brought to our...

Wealthy households. Try and keep up. The government claimed that reducing the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p in 2013 wouldn’t cost the government money. In fact, analysis carried out by UNISON shows that between 2013/14 and 2017/18 the income tax cuts for those earning over a million...

Roughly 80% of the tax cuts that have come into force go to better-off households. 67% of benefit cuts fall on poorest third of households. Once again it's Tory policies that snatches from the poor in order to redistribute to the already well off.

Or instead of giving massive tax cuts to the wealthiest in society we could tax them appropriately? We are ‘all in this together’ after all... aren’t we?

Perhaps, but can Tory voters really claim ignorance to a long list of policies that attack the most vulnerable in society? Either they aren’t paying close enough attention or they simply don’t care enough to change their voting intentions presumably because it doesn’t effect them. For...

I bet his talk was entitled “Hunting the poor” or something of that ilk.

This is precisely what is wrong with society. People don’t care unless it effects them directly. This “I’m alright Jack” attitude is classic Tory.
