Hate to say it, but the likelihood is that any households under 50k net income are going to be seriously struggling. (Assuming they haven’t paid off their mortgage / be in good circumstances etc).
With that in mind, it would suggest that the service would get overwhelmed in no time at all.
What the government need to do is support people at the lower end of the financial chain and not worry about those with ample finances.
We need to Jack up the council tax and pay for pork barrel projects and photo ops !
>It reveals that help with emergencies such as a lack of clothing or furniture, or a broken washing machine, has plunged by a quarter to only 98p per head in England – with one Conservative-run authority spending just 2p.
>In stark contrast, councils in Scotland allocated £9.42 in 2021-22, with spending in Wales (£8.76) and in Northern Ireland (£14.90) also dramatically higher.
>Almost one-quarter of English councils – a total of 35, covering 14 million people – have no crisis support, the research shared exclusively with The Independent shows.
The Tories have been decimating everything and there are even more cuts on the way.
Inb4 tories try to use examples like community kitchens to prove that you only need local charity and not government intervention, missing out these things were pretty much all setup by… the government, again.
I can see a rise in the Big Society to step in where the government is failing, again. With so many facing hardship though, it will only be a matter of time before charities break under the pressure and even they fall apart. All of this and we are supposed to be one of the richest countries on Earth, which only shows how bad the difference between rich and poor is.
