The Government is deliberately misusing
evidence and statistics to misrepresent the
plight of the poor, a report says.

The Methodist and United Reformed Churches,
the Church of Scotland and the Baptist Union
jointly published the The Lies We Tell Ourselves
study.

Researchers said evidence had been skewed to
put the blame for poverty at the door of the poor
themselves.

The government said it had always made it clear
that the system was failing people, not the other
way around.../
