📣 All political parties must explain how they will tackle hardship.

The latest findings from our cost-of-living survey, out today, found the number of households going without essentials hasn't dropped below 7 million since May 2022.

This is unacceptable.

It’s deeply disingenuous for Starmer to portray the two-child limit as “ideal world policies”, as if tackling child poverty is a utopian concept impossible to achieve.

A moderate wealth tax would immediately feed and clothe deprived children. You just have to choose to do it.

📢 Confirmed: the Renters (Reform) Bill will not pass before the election.

Reforming the private rented sector must be a priority for the next government. We need to hear from all parties on how they plan to give private renters the rights and protections they desperately need.

We're sure you've heard, a general election has been called!

Britain’s human rights watchdog will begin an investigation into the DWP’s treatment of disabled people on benefits.

This is the result of years of pressure from MPs like Debbie Abrahams MP and disabled activists like DPAC and journalists. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Two-thirds of voters were more likely to vote for a party willing to raise taxes on the rich.

We live in a country where almost four million people have experienced destitution in a single year, a million of them children.

We need to hear plans to urgently tackle this hardship from every political party. #GE2024

🚨 🧵 The General Election has been called.

Last week, we announced over 3.1 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our network in the past year.

All political parties must now commit to building a future where no one needs a food bank to survive.⤵️

Well done to Debbie Abrahams MP, Co-Chair of our sister org Compassion in Politics's APPG, for her unrelenting pressure to see the DWP held to account for their actions. Social security should be there to provide a safety net, not harm those who need it the most. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Please support this from our sister org Z2K (Zacchaeus 2000 Trust) 🙏 Half of those in poverty are disabled or live with someone who is. Our social security system is failing them.

End of year stats from The Trussell Trust show a 94% increase in food parcels compared to 5 years ago. This is a crisis.

Note to parties ahead of this year's election: nearly 2/3 would be more likely to support a party introducing a wealth tax, according to new research from our friends at Tax Justice UK 👀 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

As the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List showcases the extreme wealth trapped at the top of our economy, 63% of UK millionaires support the introduction of a tiny tax on those with more than £10m. What's stopping our politicians from getting on with the job?
