Thousands of disabled people could lose out on thousands of pounds a year in housing benefit – and face eviction – because of the government’s cuts to disability benefits, but ministers have no idea how many will lose out and risk homelessness. disabilitynewsservice.com/benefit-cap-co…

What we wish people knew about what it’s like to face hardship: - That worrying about money isn’t just numbers – it’s stress, guilt, fear of being judged - It’s trying to make impossible decisions, between whether to eat or pay the bills - That budgeting advice is no help at all

If Palestinians stay in their homes they are killed. If they shelter in schools they are killed. If they gather in 'safe zones' they are killed. If they go to hospital they are killed. If they are starving and seek aid they are killed. Israel's extermination is industrial.

Every day, millions have access to every single thing they need. But in #Gaza, essentials like toothbrushes, sanitary pads, and soap are unavailable. Access to basics is a right, not a privilege.

Children in Gaza wish they were dead. Keir Starmer, David Lammy: read that line again. The depths of human suffering felt by children in Gaza are immeasurable. No child should experience even a second of these horrors, let alone 20 months. Yet, the UK continues to transfer

Open all of the crossings. Let in lifesaving aid at scale, from all directions. Lift restrictions on what & how much aid we can bring in. Ensure our convoys aren’t held up by delays and denials. Release the hostages. Implement the ceasefire. Let us work.

"It's very simple. It's mass murder and mutilation. The most appalling humanitarian catastrophe of our young century." Dr. Graeme Groom, a British orthopaedic surgeon, described the current situation in the Gaza Strip after treating patients at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital

🚪Two doors. Two futures. Only one real option. Today in Westminster, we came together with Shelter, National Housing Federation and more in solidarity to show the government what's at stake at next week’s Spending Review.

I saw a woman today. No. She was not a woman. She was a shadow in human shape, curled in the ruins of a kitchen that no longer existed, feeding her infant an empty spoon. Over and over. “Eat,” she whispered, as if mercy could be faked long enough to save him. And the child

When you resort to promising to use military force against Greta Thurnberg proof (if any more was needed) that the Israeli state has lost the plot, principle, perspective, humanity & all respect for international law. The siege & assault of Gaza must end theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

MPs are being asked to accept unprecedented cuts to disabled people’s incomes. Latest Trussell analysis shows these cuts are likely to create more deep poverty and hardship than even the bleak forecast from the Government’s own limited assessments 🔽 the-independent.com/news/uk/politi….

The Government of Israel must lift the siege and allow the safe, unobstructed delivery of aid across Gaza. Every child should have safe access to the essential humanitarian aid and services they need to survive. The denial of humanitarian aid is a crime and a grave violation
