Growing poverty reflects a large-scale economic failure, regardless of the pitifully thin distillation of Tory “evidence” of “recovery” and “growth” which is localised to a handful of millionaires. Poverty is about the loss of much more than money. Poverty entails indignity and humiliation and exclusion. But it is the powerful and wealthy that ought to feel shame and humiliation for intentionally inflicting suffering on so many, just so that they can have even more. Such frank inequalities, with increasing affluence and prosperity for a few, and increasing poverty and disenfranchisement of many reflects a political party that is FAR from democratic, serving the needs of no-one, fulfilling the wants and doing the bidding of an elite.
