The Prime Minister must know he can’t scare people into good health, but his words this morning will be chilling for low income families up and down the country who rely on our social security system for help.
🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help. The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi….
“This is not just about money, it’s about the profound impact on people’s lives.” 💷 New research from @policy_practice has highlighted that millions of people are missing out on thousands of pounds in unclaimed benefits & support this year. Read more.👇 bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
Making permanent free school meals for all primary children is a great move 👏 👏 👏 👏 Setting up ‘baby banks’ however, risks further institutionalising a charitable response to addressing #childpoverty in #London where 4 in 10 children are affected. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Food banks aren't the answer. Baby banks aren't the answer. Charity isn't the answer. We have the tools to end the need for all these sticking plasters. These are not it. We should expect all our leaders to commit to real solutions, not more piecemeal sticking plasters. ⬇ 1/3

Permanent free school meals would be very welcome but setting up/embedding baby banks, like food banks, won’t address the root cause of the poverty faced by parents/carers of young children and would further entrench a charitable response #CashFirst theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Critical research from @BristolUni today on the scale of food bank provision in schools - In England alone - 1 in 5 schools are running food banks Food bank use remains the tip of the iceberg in terms of wider severe #food insecurity #CashFirst bristol.ac.uk/news/2024/apri…

We build benefits software and analytics that make people better off.📣 The UK government has launched a consultation to overhaul social security support for disabled people. But, it ignores levels of hardship and looks more like a cost cutting exercise than a plan to improve support. This isn't right. Disabled people NEED dignified support. ⤵️
Disability benefit cuts that are expected to affect more than 450,000 people by 2029 will only lead to 15,400 more people finding paid work, according to official forecasts That's about three percent of the number of people affected. By me, for @BigIssue bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
“Most importantly, disabled people and people with health conditions must listen while our political leaders avoid or misrepresent the harsh realities they face.” Excellent piece by @Sumi_RabindraK @TrussellTrust for @BigIssue bigissue.com/opinion/dwp-di…
“As has been long pointed out – life costs more for disabled people.” 💷 @Sumi_RabindraK head of policy @TrussellTrust (the UK's largest food bank network) argues the government is taking the wrong approach in trying to boost the economy. 📈 Read on. ⬇️ bigissue.com/opinion/dwp-di…
In 2023-24, IFAN member @chandsevesham experienced its busiest year in its 21-year history. Their team supported 650 households with 1505 food parcels for 3565 people - an increase of 25% from the previous year's figures. Looking at the reasons people needed support...
Read our report on statutory sick pay 👇
Statutory sick pay is failing to financially support those who need it most when ill. We're calling on the Government to ensure that all employees are eligible for statutory sick pay, not just those earning above the lower earnings limit. Read the report📑committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/…
Sunak's call to end 'sick note culture' and reform benefits is 'demonising' disabled and sick people bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
This is critical from @mrjamesob & his caller - people becoming unwell & feeling unable to continue to work is often about the quality of their job & manager. The government should be focused on fixing this rather than blaming individuals for seeking time off & GPs for agreeing
'Rishi Sunak is taking the power away from GPs and putting it with people in the DWP who will not be incentivised to put the patient at the heart of the decision they're making.' @mrjamesob and doctor Zack express their 'anger' at the Tories' action on 'sick note culture'.
Single disabled people are NINE TIMES more likely than others to be going hungry (Good day to recall these @jrf_uk @StatsPeter numbers which we wrote up here jrf.org.uk/deep-poverty-a…)
Permanent free school meals would be very welcome but setting up/embedding baby banks, like food banks, won’t address the root cause of the poverty faced by parents/carers of young children and would further entrench a charitable response #CashFirst theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
“This is not just about money, it’s about the profound impact on people’s lives.” 💷 New research from @policy_practice has highlighted that millions of people are missing out on thousands of pounds in unclaimed benefits & support this year. Read more.👇 bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
Making permanent free school meals for all primary children is a great move 👏 👏 👏 👏 Setting up ‘baby banks’ however, risks further institutionalising a charitable response to addressing #childpoverty in #London where 4 in 10 children are affected. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Welcome references to #cashfirst actions including working with advice sector in @SadiqKhan actual manifesto - sadiq.london/wp-content/upl… Pilot funding of ‘multi banks’ aka baby or food banks by another name sounds similar to @GordonBrown “transitional arrangement” Vital to remember
I want every child to have the best possible start in life. But essentials like bedding, clothes & toys have been pushed out of reach for many. I’ll fund baby banks in every borough, helping ensure a child’s needs are met from the moment they are born. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Baby banks are different to food banks. Yes we are meeting huge demand but we’re also about normalising reuse of baby items that have a lot more life in them (& too often go to landfill). My ambition is @LittleVillageHQ becomes a parent sharing/reuse network not a crisis response
No! Don't institutionalise charity solutions like food- & baby-banks any more than we already are. People need enough income for essentials. Not charity sticking plasters. Communities are incredibly generous & we're so grateful. But we are not the answer. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Food banks aren't the answer. Baby banks aren't the answer. Charity isn't the answer. We have the tools to end the need for all these sticking plasters. These are not it. We should expect all our leaders to commit to real solutions, not more piecemeal sticking plasters. ⬇ 1/3
