Yes, absolutely, but we need to be extra careful and clear with what we mean and what we expect from politicians when we're talking about poverty. Because they aren't listening, these last few months have made that clear, they don't care about us at the bottom. We need to find a way to make them care, and that's by challenging their attitude towards us and fighting stigma and having clear expectations. Invest in our present to protect our nations future (especially our youth). They want to lower crime rates, NHS burdens, disability welfare burdens, etc. then they need to invest in our present welfare, give us a basic quality of life, not this squalor we've been forced to make the best off, through higher rates of UC, not dehumanising us by telling disabled people what they can or cant spend their disability money on and tackling child poverty by supporting parents.
