This weeks heartbreaking BBCNews report that schoolchildren from struggling families are pretending to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food is exactly why we should all join @bigissue in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW👇
🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks. It’s barely getting a mention.

I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
