Just one unbelievable statistic from the new CPS report on state subsidy of single parenthood (or State bias against the two parent family, if you prefer).
A two-parent, one-earner family on average income (£24,000), with a mortgage and two young children is now just over a pound a week per
head better off than a lone-parent household entirely dependent on the state.
BBC report here.
UPDATE 22/1: Note that the figure is per head. So the 3-person lone parent household is 25% down in cash terms on the four person. Still a very good deal. Yesterday's Daily Express didn't seem to have quite grasped this, running a headline that implied the lone parent household received almost the same amount in total.
