"it suits politicians of all parties to claim that work is the route out of poverty. Such a message wraps a snarling toughness directed at workless adults inside a saccharine justification: you must work for the sake of your kids.
The truth is very different. Work that does not provide a sufficient income is now much more to blame for poverty than worklessness"
Very true, and a real key issue. Jobs, equality and poverty are the most important issues in my politics. I'm soon to experience being without work for the second time in a year and I'm not looking forward to it.

Agree completely. I've just written a piece on my blog about how the growth in inequality can be directly related to our rotton celebrity culture.
Great blog by the way!
