The report comes after Prof Alston visited UK towns and cities and made preliminary findings last November. The government said his final report was "barely believable". The £95bn spent on welfare and the maintenance of the state pension showed the government took tackling poverty "extremely seriously", a spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said.

I think we all kind of knew this was probably the case, it seems only that the elite and responsible have been deliberately averting their eyes and believing their own lies.
