@ChrisMayLA6 I don't want to live in a #political #economy where "bond vigilantes" dictate #policy - insist on #austerity, low #taxation of the #wealthy, minimum #regulation of #business, & restrictive #monetary policy to combat #inflation. I'll only get my way when #Capitalism is replaced by #socialism, or (rather more likely) the whole of #industrial #civilisation collapses. The latter will bring its own problems!

More than a fifth of UK’s ‘austerity children’ scarred by poverty, study says
Researchers say hardship is a direct legacy of welfare benefit cuts imposed by Tory governments in recent yearsPatrick Butler (the Guardian)
Today the two-child benefit cap on universal credit ends (after nine years) allowing us to see (when data becomes available) what impact its imposition & now reversal had on child poverty.
Apart from anything else this will have been interesting opportunity to see clearly how state benefits impact poverty, and also (once again) give some indication of the skewed impact of the impact of austerity (which remains, while un-named, still at the centre of UK politics)
