Single mums 'better off' amid cost-of-living crisis, senior Tory claims
The attorney general was jeered after suggesting single mothers were "better off" now than they were a year ago - despite the growing cost-of-living crisis.
The government is under growing pressure to support families struggling with skyrocketing energy bills and the highest levels of inflation seen for decades.
Research published on Monday revealed that one in seven adults live in homes where people have skipped meals, eaten smaller portions or gone hungry all day because they could not afford or access food.
Energy bills are also rising to never-before-seen levels after the price cap was raised by 54%, saddling people with a typical annual bill of £1,971 — an increase of £693.
Braverman claimed that a single mum with two kids and was renting a home was in fact "better off" now, despite the huge rise.
As soon as I saw the lineup for that QT, I knew it was going to be appalling.
The unexpected good bit was Geoff Norcott. Not liked him in the past. Still don't agree with a lot of what he says, but he made his case with both eloquence and balance.
Suella Braverman is simply appalling. Banging on endlessly, trying to hog the limelight. Insisting she be allowed to talk as long as she wants. Yet constantly interrupting everyone else. While talking total rubbish.
There are some truly awful people in Government. But she is, to my mind, comfortably the worst.

Is she the most embarrassing Attorney General in your lifetime?

I love the latest idea on how to stop large price rises for gas. Not.
Prices going up steeply every 6 months. "Solution"? Scrap the 6-monthly price hikes, and double the amount of rises by changing the price cap every 3 months instead.
I can see the sense in that for the gas suppliers. At the expense of the voters, as per usual.
In the name of all that is holy, vote this Government out.
