Poverty in the UK is so, so, so inescapable. I've been trapped in poverty ever since I had my first child - 22 years ago. It hasn't mattered what I've tried, unemployed, working full time, working part time, studying, continuous side-hustles, living in private rent homes, living in social housing - always poor. Any new money gets clawed back, by benefit loss. But right now, it's the worst it's ever been - there's no hope whatsoever of future improvements.
