"In 2018, UN representatives spent two weeks in a single country investigating child poverty, concluding that it was 'not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster'. That country was the United Kingdom. Who are the new faces of poverty? The same people we applaud as heroes: policemen, nurses and firefighters. While a select few have gotten unthinkably rich in the past ten years, crushing levels of personal debt, high rents, low wages and a punitive welfare system have brought countless others to the brink of financial collapse. It doesn't take a lot to end up on the breadline in Britain. And once you're there, it's nearly impossible to get out of it. These are the unseen victims of a broken economy."
