JK Rowling has said the government is out of touch with poor people and should focus on helping them into work rather than stigmatising them and hitting them with more cuts.
“I find the language of ’skivers versus strivers’ particularly offensive when it comes to single parents, who are already working around the clock to care for their children,” she wrote on the Gingerbread website. “Such rhetoric drains confidence and self-esteem from those who desperately want, as I did, to get back into the job market.”
