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.”
