A recent study by the Trades Union Congress has revealed a significant increase in working households being pushed into poverty under the Conservative government in the UK. The report found that low wages have led to an additional 1,350 children per week falling into poverty. Despite efforts to avoid groupthink and maintain a critical perspective, the excitement surrounding the upcoming general election is palpable. The prospect of potentially ousting the Tory government is a source of joy for many, with the sound of defeat in their voices becoming more apparent. The anticipation of change is growing, and the possibility of a new political landscape is on the horizon.
