We've been speaking to mothers all round the world to understand their story. The familiarity with starvation and the reality of this crisis is gut wrenching. We demand that our manifesto is heard by those who CAN reverse this nightmare. #mothershungerstrike Rishi Sunak

The intimidation of elected representatives is not a new issue and does not have just one solution. As well as improving responses to these threats, we need to see action that tackles the root causes of this problem. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… (1/2)

This is why we are calling for the 28 recommendations from the #JoCoxCommission to be implemented. For a healthy democracy, we must make life safer for elected politicians while preserving robust debate and peaceful protest. jocoxfoundation.org/our-work/respe… (2/2)

This afternoon, I met women on hunger strike from Mothers Manifesto outside Parliament. Whilst I didn’t agree with everything they said, they made some very good points particularly around the need to reverse cuts in foreign aid. I have long campaigned against those cuts.

Would you back a hunger strike for free school meals? A group of six mothers have begun a five-day hunger strike outside Parliament to draw attention to parents who are unable to feed their children. Is this OK? Yasmin alibhai-brown | Mike Parry | Storm Huntley | #stormhuntley

1 in 4 young mums in the UK skip meals to feed their children. The government's failure to ensure all children have enough to eat is disgraceful. That's why Mothers Manifesto are taking part in a five-day hunger strike to call for direct action to end the crisis of food insecurity
