@joshbabarinde.bsky.social please speak out for a rethink of the cruel cuts to PIP benefits. Welcome the return to work help - if it actually works properly.

Should charities be exempt from the increase in employers NI. At a time they are needed more than ever, staff are facing cuts.

Why isn’t ending this a priority of the govt ? Poverty = increased illness = pressure on NHS

The two-child limit remains in place, and its impact will continue to grow as the policy affects an increasing number of children as time goes on.
We estimate that an additional 63,000 children will become affected by the policy between now and April 2025.

📰 Read all about it! Our community of food banks provided over 1.4 million food parcels in 6 months.
But here’s the headline – it doesn’t have to be this way.
With food banks and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, we’re delivering the news to the UK government that it’s time to act on hunger.

Shocking & sobering new statistics from @trusselluk.bsky.social. As they say “this can’t go on”
🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago.
This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.
