But being in a situation where you are working full-time and still basically in poverty, that's inequality. Working - even an unskilled job - should allow you some standard of life.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

but then is poverty living with not much left over after the bare essentials
or is poverty not being able to afford sky, an iPhone and a foreign holiday once per year?
because if it is the later most of us over 40 grew up in poverty so you can see why sympathy is pretty minimal
I just cannot wait for him to be PM, its going to be revolutionary and once in a generation change to society and governance. We will be able to proudly tell our grandchildren that we made this happen and their good life is due to us showing some intelligence.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

The way I see it is worst case scenario = inside IR35.
I'm glad the tories aren't so aweful! Oh hang on a minute...
If Corbyn can actually hit the super rich and corporations to pay up I'll gladly pay more myself.
Therefore I am announcing today that my fairer tax policies will include:
• The introduction of a proper anti-avoidance rule into UK tax law.

The rent is £125 per week and is subsidised. by higher earners through their taxes as the employer isn't paying enough."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Today the Office for National Statistics has released new figures showing a 17% increase in the numbers of Britons now working under Zero Hour Contracts (ZHC's) since their last report.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

The problem is that just because you raise someone's standard of living you do not raise their moral standard.
So that nice detached house you bought in a nice area within the catchment area of a good school will stop being that.
To make all people equal you have to set the standard at the lowest level.
Experience has taught us this.Comment
