Disabled people are already over represented at our food banks. The last thing they need is support taken away from them.

At first glance, how far has the government taken action in the Spending Review to reduce hunger & hardship?

Cuts that rob disabled people of a dignified life are not a moral choice. These would be unprecedented disability benefit cuts that drive up hardship.
A govt that vowed to end the moral scar of food bank use should not be leaving disabled people at greater risk of needing one.

New @trusselluk.bsky.social stats out today show food banks in the Trussell community gave out 1.42 million emergency food parcels in 6 months. These figures show a 69% increase from 5 years ago, and show extremely worrying levels of hunger and hardship in the UK.
