Dispatches travels across Britain to meet the families who feel let down after more than a decade of struggling to better themselves. Having thought there lives were getting better, these families now see themselves sliding back down the social ladder.
And as we get poorer, Dispatches discovers we are becoming more vulnerable to those who prey on our need for quick money to pay our bills, keep our homes and even feed our children. The programme also finds the key groups who Tony Blair won over - the aspiring middle classes and solid working class voters - are now deeply disillusioned.
