Absolutely right.
WATCH: The measure of poverty used by the government is absolute poverty and on this measure, one million people have been lifted out of it since 2010. Good news. We want to focus on going further, and its important to understand why this measure is right. Myth debunked below.pic.twitter.com/L6h6WGxCXd

....the measure of poverty is a person receiving £6k state pension that they’ve paid into all their working lives, in contrast a person receiving benefits gets £23k after having paid almost nothing into the pot.

My local Food Bank/waste CIC stats. They have a Wednesday welcome and feed over 200 people on that day alone. Incredible work and many of the people they help are working families. Forgive me if I call bullshit on your figures and measurement.

Disgusting play on stats to suit your narrow agendas. Tell the hungry children that poverty is improving. Pathetic
