Britain has one of the most unequal economies in Europe.
In the UK, the rich are richer and the poor are poorer than in other European countries. The income gap is the largest it has been in ten years, food-bank use has doubled since 2014 and nearly a third of low-income families are unable to heat their homes; meanwhile the richest 1 per cent of households in the UK are worth £3.6 million each.
Why? And what impact does this have on our politics?
Anoosh and Armando meet Dominic Watters, a social worker living on the breadline, and Adrienne Buller of the think tank Common Wealth, to explore the impact of inequality and whether the political system is geared against the "undeserving poor".
Guests
Dominic Watters is a single dad, social worker and campaigner against food insecurity. He's the author of Social Distance in Social Work: Covid Capsule One
Adrienne Buller is director of research at the Common Wealth think tank and author of The Value of a Whale.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
