It's extremely apparent in the centre of Manchester. The amount of homeless people on the streets has increased significantly in the last few years. I'm not talking about second hand figures either, it's clearly visible.
My sister in law works in Social Housing. Its not a particularly nice job to work in given the lack of such housing available.
Although I seem to be ok I know some colleagues who are facing redundancy on the back of Brexit and the Tories nonsensical policy of reducing student immigration (you want to trade with the world, let's stop a very good income stream and then pretend that immigration has been cut, when they would have gone home anyway).
Do you know that they are changing the funding formula for Schools and many will lose out as a result (often in the North strangely enough). My wife's school is looking to cut staff as a result.
I'm not sure on the details exactly but I have a strong feeling the 'extra' money is actually filling a whole they had already created so will not be extra at all. In fact I've just read an article that suggests in real terms, it could actually be a reduction (and with a 4 year old and 4 month old, affects me again).
