The big difference between when my parents went from the working class to the middle class and today was they didn't do it through debt, but through living wages, affordable housing, public healthcare, affordable education and a social safety net all afforded by fair taxes.

Dear @Jeremy_Hunt,
Congrats on your appointment as Chancellor.
Could you now ensure that funding is made available for autistic and learning disabled people to live good lives in the community and not psych hospitals as recommended by @CommonsHealth when you were Chair?
Thanks
