In-work poverty doubled since tories in power
DISGRACE: Britain sees second-highest increase in Europe since 2010
IN-WORK poverty has more than doubled in Britain — growing at the second-fastest rate in Europe — since the Tories took power in 2010, the Morning Star can reveal.
The number of people considered to be working poor in Britain rose by 51 per cent between 2010 to 2019, the Star’s analysis of a report by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), released today, has found.
In contrast, the average rise across all 28 European Union countries was 12 per cent.
