Poverty expert Professor Donald Hirsch, who wrote the report, says the package of measures offered by the government falls far short of what low-income households need - and urgent action is required.
His research suggests that an out-of-work couple with two children will miss out on £1,300 a year, with larger households suffering bigger losses.That's despite working-age households on Universal Credit and other means-tested benefits getting £1,200 of additional help - including reductions to energy bills and council tax, as well as £650 direct to their bank account.
The report warns this flat-rate approach disadvantages bigger families, and Mr Brown said:"We are facing a humanitarian crisis that Britain hasn't seen in decades.
Well they could always get a job !!! I see adverts all the time for staff !!!
They don't care about working class people or people on benefits, they are on big money with all the perks, why should they care, they have never had to go hungry or cold, they probably sit laughing at them.
When you show Govt saying build back better, do your viewers realise that it means for them and not us
Get a job then
Neither are wages 🤷🏻♂️
