Over recent days we have seen evidence of racism and Islamophobia. We stand in solidarity with communities who have faced intimidation directly or who now feel less safe. The places and communities affected will need support to repair the harm caused by this weekend’s violence.

Today's #Budget2024 won’t be enough to fix the foundations for millions who struggle winter after winter in devastating hardship. The people who needed to feel the most change are those living in and at risk of hardship. 🔽 1/4

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.
