It's only by pure luck that I have been one of the lucky ones to keep my head above water if I'm honest.
As Joey said there are thousands that don't have the comfort of a 'home' as opposed to shelter due to Mr Cameron and the welfare reforms.
In this extremely wealthy country that is a damning indictment and proof of how ineffective he is.
If the country is burgeoning as is to be believed due to foreign investment then why are those at the poorest end of the spectrum being squeezed so mercilessly, why do austerity measures only apply to some people?

It's contradictory to harp on about the need to make tax credit savings and then reduce the higher rate of tax.
The warm bed scenario for many people is on a knife edge, the season of heat or eat is here again and many won't survive it.
I don't care if I'm accused of wringing my hands or whatever it's a fact that year on year the number of deaths across the UK attributed to living below the poverty line increases.
