The government promised to end the need for emergency food.
Now is the time to hold them to account.
That means rethinking cruel cuts and ensuring everyone can afford the essentials.
💚
📣 NEW: Millions of people are turning to food banks because Universal Credit is falling short.
And now the UK government is voting on brutal cuts to disability support.
We’re in Parliament today to urge MPs to ACT on hunger and hardship.
“An estimated 800,000 current and future PIP recipients will lose an average of £4,500 a year, according to a government assessment”

🚨IT’S NOT TOO LATE for the government to change course. Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee who say they should not go ahead without a comprehensive impact assessment

Nigel Farage wants to reopen the coal mines in Wales.
While it may be nice to look back at our mining history with rose tinted glasses, the price for extracting the coal that built the modern world is still being paid by the people of Wales.
Together, we CAN relegate hunger to history. ⚽
From tackling racism to standing against homophobia, football has always been more than just a game—it’s a force for change.
Now we're asking football clubs, fans, and players to help us end hunger in the UK.
2025 wish list (for starters):
Barnett formula (which was only a temporary measure supposedly) is binned and bettered
Crown Estate returns rights to nations
Life gets better
Overhead shot of 1000s of protesters in Rustaveli Avenue by the Georgia Parliament
And overhead shot of 1000s of protestors in Slavija Square, Belgrade
A remarkable synergy in these two photos.
Both taken tonight, but 1500 miles apart.
The first is Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪
The second is Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸
Around 100,000 protesting in each city. People separated by geography but united in a fight to protect their democracy.
The world needs to watch.

Shameful @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
You saw the injustice of this in opposition. You have shafted women left destitute by the system that should have supported them.
You have, yet again, targeted older people, particularly women of a certain age’.
Who are you? What do you stand for?

🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks. It’s barely getting a mention.
I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

The white dots show the 2,694 people still in prison serving an IPP sentence.
The red dots show the 90 people who’ve taken their own life in prison whilst serving an IPP sentence
IPP was abolished almost 12 years ago! When will those stuck in prison on IPP be free?
