''Give[s] powerful voice to the often silent story that explains so much of Britain''s current fracturing'' OBSERVER

I''m a scrounger, a liar, a hypocrite, a stain on society with no basic morals - or so they say. After all, what else do you call a working-class single mum in temporary accommodation?

The darkly funny debut memoir from the creator of HBO and BBC''s Rain Dogs, Skint Estate is a scream against austerity that rises full of rage in a landscape of sink estates, police cells, refuges and peepshows.

A voice that must be heard.
