Have read the 2025 Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) report and horrified by statistics:
- Over 1 in 5 people in the UK (21%) are in poverty = 14.3 million people.
- Of these, 8.1 million are working-age adults.
- 4.3 million are children.
- 1.9 million are pensioners.
Shameful. You can see why politicians, lobby groups, media and big tech wants to distract us with other stuff. Poverty is the primary issue in UK at the moment.
