Life in Cameron's England.

On the day that a lot of George Osborne’s cuts begin to bite, how are we faring in David Cameron’s England? These figures are according to the Daily Mirror.

Families are £11 a week worse off than last year

The cost of living is rising at double the rate of pay rises

Inflation at 5.5% is the highest for 20 years, higher than anywhere in the West except Estonia, and South Korea

Take-home pay has fallen by 5% in real terms

Building workers have suffered the biggest pay cuts, and 10% have lost their jobs

659,000 households struggling with mortgage payments; 117,000 are in arrears

Real disposable incomes fell in 2010 for the first time since 1981

Income after tax will show a fall of 1.9% by the end of the year, equal to £500 per household

And what is more it must be OK because they are still blaming it on the Labour Government or the snow or anything they can think of.
