UK child poverty up 34% in a decade.
Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials.
72% of poor children live in working families.
Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help.
Must eradicate parental poverty.

Why are four million children still going hungry in the UK in 2026?
Hunger in the UK is the scourge that ceases to abate. It's time to build a road map to meaningful and lasting change.

universal basic income would literally save lives. why are we still pretending poverty is a personal failing instead of a policy choice?

Not everyone can afford a smartphone. Stop making it the primary, and sometimes the only, interface for day to day services. It's like when companies move their customer facing information onto Discord. It's shit. Fucking stop it.

I find myself nostalgic for the days when evil people had to pretend not to be evil, because being evil was considered socially unacceptable.

As for the House of Lords voting on this. I don’t expect a bunch of people with average age of 70 to vote on this without anything other than ‘in my day we didn’t need it’ reasoning
Don’t tell me they understand phones for teens, how schools & parents rely on them for reasonable & modern reasons

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Today I bade farewell to my valiant oldest green bath towel. Bought when we redecorated the bathroom about 30yrs ago, an original St Michael brand from #M&S, it has finally become hard and lumpy. Now spending its last years on a farm in the country (cut up to use as dusters). Ave atque vale.

We need to have a deep conversation about this, and the lack of joined up thinking, in not only Starmer's UK government, but all Western governments. AI, will put huge numbers of people out of work, that is why Oligarchs are so heavily investing in it.
