I tell you what she can keep her money, what I want is for her to spend just one day in my office, just one day with the public. I do it all day 2-3 days a week 5 in recess. I just ask her for 1 day. I just want them to get it.https://twitter.com/jessphillips/status/1102548312455106561 …

"Anyone could live on lowest income for a fortnight" Go on, then

Why? What purpose would it serve?
-
Might make you a better MP for a start - or at least a compassionate one!
-
In my experience, most MPs from all parties are compassionate and far more in touch with this stuff and more knowledgable about how people on the breadline actually live than most of us.

That's why the current government overwhelmingly voted for cuts to benefits, switching to universal credit, privatising the NHS, bringing in zero hours contracts, and leaving the EU was it, because they understand poverty?!
-
Er, just some basic facts: cuts to benefits were a necessity after 2008 crash, principle (not practice) of universal credit now accepted by most MPs of all parties, the NHS isn’t privatised, they didn’t bring in zero hours contracts & Brexit has nothing to do with poverty. Next.
-
Go and talk to people on the streets in Castleford or Wakefield and tell me that Brexit has nothing to do with poverty..... it has everything to do with poverty - of pocket and of thought. The necessity of the 2008 crash was to make bankers pay.... haven't seen that happen!

She meant Govt policy on leaving the EU

What would you know, Julia? You’re not exactly known for your empathy. Quite the opposite, in fact.

You haven't ever tried to. I have, and still do, it's no joke. Silly posturing, you condescending bigot.

Strange take given that I’ve never seen a single sincere show of empathy from you.

As difficult as this is to say, I agree with Julia. To get a real sense of the systematic soul crushing you have to go through months and months of applications, waiting, sanctioning, appeals, poverty, food banks etc., all the while politicians tell you it's getting better.
