"Britain’s welfare system is “unfit for purpose” and in urgent need of reform, experts warned on Sunday amid fears that millions more families will struggle to make ends meet amid the dual pressures of the pandemic and the spiralling cost-of-living crisis."

"The soaring price of food and rent, along with energy bills – which are expected to more than double in April when the price cap is lifted, bringing the number of households under “fuel stress” to at least 6 million –"

"is forcing families to choose between basic essentials such as food and heat, the experts said, while growing numbers are being forced into debt and relying on food banks."

"The warning comes as a damning report, due to be published on Monday, calls for rapid reforms to the social security system to protect low-income families from extreme hardship as its lead author cautioned that they “don’t have any resilience left”."

The 'cost-of-living-crisis' demands a government 'fit for purpose'.

Alas, UK Government, mired in sleaze, corruption and ensuing chaos directed by #LiarJohnson, is evidently, 'unfit to govern'.

"For the cult worships only an extremely flawed parcel of mortal flesh who is much better at cracking jokes than he is at cracking governing."
