Last year, this delightful govt in more of their 'slash & bash the poor' campaign, made it even more difficult to access emergency housing. This has worked so very well that a couple & their baby was using a hospital emergency waiting room to sleep in.

This is getting beyond belief; apparently, working perople are getting Far Too Much Money to suit this govt & its friends. Blatant greed is deeply unattractive.
These people appear to intend to take us all back to a time of serfdom; they are a disgrace to humanity.

Nicola Willis wants to axe around a third of 71 rules which agencies must follow when tendering  contracts, including paying thre living wage in cleaning, catering & security guard services.

We have to make this lot of conscience free greeders a one term govt.
