I can’t watch Dispatches because it reminds me of growing up cold and hungry. Thatcher & Major demonised & starved single mothers, and we’ve gone backwards, watching four million kids being traumatised by poverty.pic.twitter.com/k5ToedKvp0

Like Bill Clinton and his "welfare queens". This is why we cannot have <sensible centrists>. They are just people who came up through the left who crave acceptance from those who despise them.

My Mum as talking about this the other other day as the moment the scales properly fell and they'd been conned by 'New' Labour. She was fucking horrified.

Double negative here, like UK. Be positive or be away with you.

Absolutely not.. new labour created working and child tax credits which were a Godsend to families on low incomes...providing childcare and increasing housing benefits to those who had high childcare costs and funding grants for single parents to retrain and earn more money!

New labour determined carers were officially working and entitled to all working age benefits and childcare. They offered universal child benefit and back dated pay of a at least six months to ensure that people who missed out on benefits received all they were entitled too

Raise a child under a Blair government then under Tory rule having having done both, so much support has been cut under the Tories it is abhorrent for you to blame new labour when the Tories shoved austerity down the throats of working families and the disabled!!!
