Government just published the Universal Credit & PIP Bill. It’s shocking. Mitigations will protect only a small minority of disabled people & carers. 100s of 1000s will be pushed into severe hardship. Trussell

Yesterday was a historic moment for Trussell Together, 700 people travelled to Westminster to discuss Guarantee Our Essentials. The same day the UK gov proposed the most damaging cuts to disabled people, we were proud that so many NI MPs supported us! trussell.org.uk/news-and-resea…

I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

Disabled people are already THREE times more likely to need to use food banks. MPs must vote NO to cuts to disabled people’s social security today.

'Families are clearly struggling to afford & prepare healthy food. They are desperate to do their best for their children but simply cannot afford to' - Paediatrician 📢New report from RCPCH & @CPAG shows the worsening impact of poverty on children, and health services

❗ Say it louder for the people in the back: you can't budget when you have no money. We speak to parents who are skipping meals to feed the kids and people who are terrified about rising bills. No amount of budgeting will make incomes stretch to cover the cost of essentials.

❗Scrapping the two-child limit would lift 670,000 people out of severe hardship. It would mean fewer families would need to turn to a food bank, and would give children a fairer start in life.

You said it: you can't budget when you have no money.

❗Inflation is rising, piling even more pressure onto struggling families. People are already struggling to pay for their bills and put food on the table. We live in one of the richest countries in the world. How can this be happening?!
