Telling the human story of the austerity experiment – with Ros Wynne-Jones

The horrors of austerity make for grim statistics. But what are the stories behind those numbers? The Mirror’s Real Britain columnist Ros Wynne-Jones joins Ros Taylor to discuss the exhaustion, pain and spirit of those feeling the brunt of Tory cuts.  “There are always new levels and layers of cuts.”  “There’s just an assumption now that the system is brutalised and cruel.”  “Disabled people have been at the front of these cuts, but they’ve also been at the vanguard of resistance.”  “The level of exhaustion people are at after 12 years is profound.” “Every year this Government is in power is wasted life opportunities for a new generation.”  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Ros Taylor.
