It’s a weekday morning on Grimsby’s East Marsh estate – where residents are beginning their day in the poorest part of the nation. Of course, that’s not to say everyone here is living on the poverty line – but the data is striking.
The average annual income for an entire household here sits at just £22,000 a year. That’s over £10,000 less than the UK national average – and almost a staggering £86,000 below London’s affluent Clapham area – which has the highest in the country at just above £108,000.
For hundreds of years this port town in North East Lincolnshire on the River Humber estuary punched well above its weight.
It’s fishing industry became known around the world – and at one point the town became the largest and busiest fishing port on earth. But after the industry started falling – poverty came next.
And with the fish gone – the town changed with Job losses, low wages and a lack of infrastructure.
Today average annual household incomes in the town’s East Marsh are the lowest of anywhere in England and Wales – making it the poorest part of the country.
This is Real Britannia.

Tory Britain. It's not as if we weren't warned.
…….this is so SILLY…….
I thought PRINCE William's daughter "ALONE" at that tender age is worth a whopping $5, BILLION dollars!🤨
What is the justification for these people to be POOR 😮🤨⁉️⁉️⁉️
2k is more than a person working full time , in lower pay jobs , like care sector , u can work 50+ hr / week for that money and is tax man getting in the middle. ,
Maybe if Cheryl stopped getting tattoos and buying jewelry she'd have a bit more money for her kids?
But Klaus Schwab said you will be happy…
When will people stop believing it’s a human right to have children they can’t afford to provide for.
He's not spending anything on shampoo or getting his bloody hair cut.
Unfortunately IQ tests should be made compulsory before you can have children
The chippy i salute you, where are you x i wanna visit and eat some of your beautiful food x god bless people like yourselves, i dont know what we would do without you x £3 is a steal and it looks so lovely x
And meanwhile Europe take in millions and millions of refugees from all over the world. No lack on money then.😄
This sideof Britain is kept under the rug. This life do not exist in the eyes of most media or in the actions of the politicians. Really sad!
Respect
The benefits include rent.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Welcome to the diabolically devastating " New World Order.-!!!😳. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
If you havn`t got the money, don`t have 4 kids
14 years of Tory cruelty they've destroyed our country and towns and city's
@- Fish & Chips. Now I see where the restaurant Captain D's comes from in America. Prayers going up.
This is staggering! If a household with 20k a year in Britain is the poorest, but in the rest of the developing world, any household with that kind of money can live a luxurious life.
still thought brexit was a good idea?
We need to pay more taxes, so the ones who do no work can live better. I work full-time and I earn 1300£ and 600£ I pay towards a shared house. 80£ for transportation and 300 for food. I LIVE A RAT LIFE AND WORK HARD TO SURVIVE. THANK YOU GOV!🤡🤡🤡
£2000 a month and she's struggling are you fucking joking 🤔
Having children without money is no different from animals. If you are a human being, think before giving birth to a child.
get a dehumidifier. there is 5 humans living in one small house. heating it won't help the situation.
i would not vote for you
Have a look at Easterhouse estate , and Possilpark in Glasgow these people dont realise they are well off!!!!
4:23 I can't listen to her AND look at those tattoos, where does the money for those come from ?
WTF, I’m a store manager and work more than 40 hrs a week and earn under £2000 a month so what are they complaining about ?
Having 4 children is the sort of decision that will lock you into poverty.
Is it possible to have average part of Nigeria 🇳🇬 looking like this place? Do I see paved tarred grounds and roads? Do I see buildings without prison walls around them? You call this poverty ? Government giving individual 2k every month? Have you been to India 🇮🇳? Nigeria 🇳🇬, South America? 😂😂.
Families than claim together stay together😂😂😂
