'Brilliant, horrifying and really f***ing funny' KATHY BURKE'Give[s] powerful voice to the often silent story that explains so much of Britain's current fracturing' OBSERVERI'm a scrounger, a liar, a hypocrite, a stain on society with no basic morals - or so they say.

A hard-hitting debut memoir presenting the full reality of the poverty trap, as faced by single mothers moved around by the system across temporary accommodation, as was Carraway. The lived experience of benefit cuts, zero-contract hours and food bank use is put across with candour, dark humour and poignancy.
