Like I often say. "no one keeps a record of the week".

 In relation to the Budget 2024, which appears at present first glance harsh. there are those who feel benefit recites have been left out

terms like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check the facts!

40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, involved in most difficult of positions. They like myself have disabilities or illness, some who don't have work, would really like to remain or gain fruitful employment , they want it. A little more compassion,(In general).

But lets be honest less judgement wouldn't hurt in our dealings with those on any benefit.

There already is in essence tough rules around benefit in the UK first 5 weeks you seldom get any money, often leads to people getting into deeper poverty. Once in that place little help.

Constant draining battle to get out of the system.

This becomes a battle for years, may never get free from the `ropes of poverty`. sometimes wages back into employment are really low , further terms and conditions are unhelpful.

Often its true, some take voluntary positions where there is exploitation.

One of the bugger issues for those` caught in the poverty trap` is rents , home ownership not being an option. These Homes are controlled often by people who are already rich, taken Pot shots at the poverty trap.

The neighborhood has only poor quality resources, food Varity is limited , travel away is also difficult.

If caught in the poverty trap, that bill that's unexpected.

(Had one this week.)

Becomes a bigger hole to escape from, then again another obstacle.

Increase in food, travel, rents, council taxes, will not help anyone. Result in those trapped in poverty, feel more isolated, detached, and less valued.

Like I often say. "no one keeps a record of the week".

Labours female `chancellor Reeves`, will wreak massive harm on small businesses ,further by default ‘working people’ (who many Politian's, can’t even define) with one of the worst budgets of my lifetimes.
