A STUDY for the charity Shelter this week explained that one in three families in England could not pay their rent or mortgage for more than a month if they lost their job, with the reasons cited being high housing costs and a lack of personal savings.
The YouGov survey questioned 8,381 adults, including 1,581 members of working families with children and its results painted a stark picture of the insecurity so many people face in Tory Britain today.
The study concluded that 37 per cent of such families would be unable to cover their housing costs for more than one month with no job, while 23 per cent said they would be unable to pay their housing costs at all.
