At least Labour introduced the minimum wage and helped raise many children out of poverty. Now after 4 years the Tory legacy is one of attacking welfare, cutting everywhere, with troubling statistics rising: an explosion of people having to use foodbanks, rising numbers losing their homes, forced into B&Bs for lack of housing. Homelessness hit a high in 2003 (210,000 households), was brought right down by 2009, and is now rising again, up 5% just last year. Work must pay, raise the minimum wage.
