I am really worried for what is coming in the budget. Snr politicians really do not get the dire situation people are in.

@zleap @bestforbritain There is lingering so much uncertainty here in the UK about how people can pay their bills, eat and also keep a roof above their heads. Mental Health problems have gone through the roof. Some uncertainty is okay but uncertainty to even cover basic needs will lead to riots, an increase in criminal activity, substance misuse and suicide. It's a collapse of society. It costs a country more to get people out of poverty than to invest money to prevent it.

Indeed, the governments response on PMQs was to say they are helping people in to work. The question didn't even mention the constituent being out of work, even those in work are struggling., which I think was the point being made.

They also don't say how much the jobs pay

@mark_jones @TheQueensMindset @bestforbritain

I think nurses can earn between 20k and 30k a year. however this is long hours, understaffed and cost of living going up

I get the impression even those on the upper end of that scale are struggling.

I think this is more than about pay, pay is so bad people are leaving, and others not joining the profession, this puts patients at risk so make pay better,working conditions better you attract and retain staff, so people can do their job without burn out, that burn out leads to errors, which puts lives at risk.

@zleap @TheQueensMindset @bestforbritain

Totally agree plus increased sickness and staff turnover. I'm a cynic and I think that this is exactly what the government wants. I hope I'm proved wrong
