It IS a 💯 % betrayal!
There are so many well qualified ppl working for 6 mths, then losing jobs as employers are under no obligation to make ppl permanent.
No permanent job= no ability to rent = destitution.
They’re out of touch and increasingly out of time

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
