Bring more children into country and stick them in care! That helps! Mass immigration and the government keeps on lying!

Rising Tide of UK Poverty = Tory Government

Stop giving billions to other countries

logansteven What the government has done to the poorest in society is evil. It's good that, after the UN report, people are finally starting to realise just how much damage their policies have done.

The economy only works for the 'chosen'. It's always been that way only now the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots' is getting wider.

If you can't afford to have children ,stop having them ffs. Why would any reasonably intelligent want to bring a child into poverty.

But we still open the flood gates to. Refugees and economic migrants

Show us where.

Meanwhile waste another £100 on aid to your Palestinian brothers you love so much Nero fiddled as Rome burnt.

Middle class looks to be disappearing, whereas rich are becoming richer and poor poorer.

Maybe we could start a gofundme? Worked for that one Syrian kid

Yet £millions is sent abroad, some for crackpot schemes, while Children suffer here

90% of replies to Sky blame mass immigration it seems.I think they’re right.£118bn in 17 years for non EU migrants wasn’t difficult to predict was it?

The UK needs to put their citizens first again. A UK equivalent of Trump is in order.

It has been rocketing this way for a few years now. But good to see you reporting it. The cause? Neoliberalism and the austerity it espouses, and the current Conservative Government that is wedded to it, and enables it. GTTO

BENEFITS_NEWS It's government policy. Political journalism in the media of hokding power to account only stretches as far as the centre/right voting public. They quote stats on poverty then dump it in file 13.

Any correlation with the ‘rising tide’ of immigration?

The UK will be an impoverished country even more so after Brexit.

Yes

Because the country is overpopulated. We are an island compared to most countries. We are bursting at the seams. Stop letting people in and start thinking about the people who already live in the country.

Them Leaders Should be a shame of Themselves This Don't Have to happen Trump Is Proof Of That

Or migrants.

Brexit added £2bn to UK energy bills in year after referendum, report claimsHouseholds paid an extra £75 a year in wake of vote which experts warn has been ‘principal factor’ driving up bills over past two years Complete rubbish, that's the greed of the energy companies why prices have gone up, prices have been consistently going up since way before the referendum. Bollocks, don’t print claims, print facts. Independent my arse. Some other things that go up when GBP falls: GBP value of foreign profits earned by UK companies, GBP value of exports. But that wouldn’t fit your anti-brexit narrative. Independent - my arse!
