It's one thing to be broke when you're not working.

It's another thing entirely to work full time, give your job all your time and energy, and still have to worry about whether you can afford the basics.

It's exhausting when working harder doesn't mean getting ahead. It just means struggling slightly less.

"Why don't you just save for a mortgage, it's cheaper than renting"

Okay, here we go... As a single person in The UK this is the situation for a lot of people.

Most people in The UK are on minimum wage and full time monthly wage after deductions is around £1700

Rent: £800 (this is the very low end), Council Tax: £190, Electric: £80, Water: £40. £590 left. Just to live somewhere.

Food: £250 a month and that's been generous. £340 left.

Car insurance and fuel for getting to work: probably another £200. £140 left

Phone bill: £50. £90 left

WiFi to make life bearable £40. £50 left.

This is best case scenario, you have no unexpected bills or things to pay out. So say you have £50 left to save every month, that's £600 a year. You probably still wouldn't have a deposit in 20 years.

Apparently we've got it easy though, says a generation who could buy a house and raise a family from a one income minimum wage job.

We live in a country where minimum wage doesn't even meet minimum living requirements. We're done.

I am very concerned by the government's mass rollout of facial recognition technology.

This is a grave threat to privacy, and turns the presumption of innocence on its head.

We are hurtling toward a mass surveillance state. It must be opposed!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Your water bills are going up, again.

Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.

It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Absolutely no. We should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and disabled people.

We live in one of the richest countries in the world.

A Wealth Tax on the super-rich is what we need, not more cuts and austerity.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Reports say the Treasury is "earmarking billions in welfare cuts”.

This is Austerity 2.0 & it will worsen record levels of poverty.

Why is there always money for war, but never for the poor?

Instead of slashing the safety net, the Labour government needs to tax the super-rich.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS.

They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead.

For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

No British troops should be deployed overseas without a free vote in Parliament.
