ruled Britain has been revealed in a report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation which has found that 3.8 million people, including 1 million children, in the UK experienced destitution in the past year.
Half of the affected households were left struggling to survive on less than £85 per week after housing costs. In a compassionate society which valued human life, there would be universal outrage at the news that almost four million citizens had been reduced to destitution by a government which at the same time has presided over record profits for large companies and soaring executive pay.The average pay of company bosses is now 118 times that of the average UK worker, compared with 108 times in 2021 and 79 times in 2020 according to research from the High Pay Centre.
The report found Scotland’s position had improved with respect to other areas of the UK"with by far the lowest increase since 2019".The report noted:"This may be indicative of the growing divergence in welfare benefits policies in Scotland, notably the introduction of the Scottish Child Payment." Her remarks came after came after a number of organisations devised a list of measures they said the Government could implement, similar to those offered to Ukrainians including an emergency family reunion scheme and an emergency refugee protection visa for Israelis and Palestinians fleeing the violence.
