Those evil Tories

'The wages of ordinary full-time workers barely grew during this period and were negative for the lowest earners...  Even workers in the top half saw their wages grow only slowly. It was only the very richest – those in the top 5% - who experienced growth of more than 1% a year. This pattern of wage growth among individuals contributed to a growing polarisation in household incomes.'
 Those evil Tories, only the top 5% experiencing growth on their incomes, the rich looking after the rich...

Just one problem the above is taken from The Resolution Foundation's Report 'Squeezed Britain 2013' and relates to the period 2008-2011, when for the most part there was a Labour government.

I assume that if the BBC do report on the Resolution Foundation's findings, this part will not see the light of day - might spoil the narrative.
