    While hearing this, please just picture Boris and Rishi's smiling, arrogant faces when questioned on this matter.

    And the worst thing is this isn't even a special case

    I'm the child of a single mum. My heart breaks for this woman.

    Remember: Sunak says “we can’t give everyone everything they want”.

    This is the reality for lots of people in the UK. I’m utterly appalled. It’s heartbreaking, even more so when kids are involved.

    Rishi spends more on a tie then some people live on for a month.

    I am a single father of twins and this call left me in tears. Whenever I hear about people in trouble like this, I try to support them. While I'm pretty isolated and on my own, I'm better off than many other single parents.

    Shocked to hear this amazing mum’s story. Can’t believe this is happening in the UK. I was feeling the pressure of inflation, but now my problems seem nothing compared to this! Hope you are helped!

    This should not be even discussed in 2022 ! Its outrageous!

    This is so inhumane. I will remember this video and this caller forever. She is why I fight this BS every single day. We have to come together and stop the evil people who play games with our lives for the convenience and luxury of theirs. Thank you James. You are a beacon of hope. Thank you for showing your humanity.

    Weeping quietly while listening to this poor mother.

    She says "they don't understand" what it's like for her. They do. Every bit of this is intentional. And that's why we need to get these utter crooks out of office immediately.

    Madam I don't know you personally but your children are blessed to have a kind, caring mother like you.

    Tears in my eyes listening to that. She’s clearly doing her best but she cannot win.

    I'm all the way across the oceans in India and this just broke me. This is the reality for so many people even here. So many jobs lost, so many small businesses shut down, where are we going shoving so many people into such desolation???

    This woman's pain is palpable. Unfortunately I fear we will be hearing many more stories like this one. This is the reality of living in Tory run UK today.

    And how the Tories laughed and cheered as they stuff their pockets and faces.
