“The work that schools are doing, while hugely valuable, is not sustainable in the long term and is merely papering over the cracks of a deeply unequal society that it is incumbent on the government to fix.” #CashFirst theguardian.com/education/2023…

"It seems incredible that the level of [Universal Credit] isn’t set with reference to the actual essentials of life, but that’s the situation" Important @FT piece by @TrussellTrust's @Helen_Barnard on how inadequate social security drives food bank use ft.com/content/a02a67…
Powerful @mirandeee piece on the growing strain facing food banks, illustrated by stories from the brilliant @EarlsfieldFood2 run by @charlottemwhite Food banks have become a shadow welfare state, filling in for the systemic inadequacy of social security theguardian.com/society/2023/m…
New data from @EndChildPoverty shows 4.2 million children in the UK (29%) are growing up in poverty. 71% come from a working household. Local authorities with the highest levels of child poverty: Tower Hamlets 47.5% Birmingham 46.4% Manchester 44.7% Sandwell 44.6% Newham 43.7%
Military Spending: China: $292B + Russia: $86.4B + India: $81.4B + Saudi Arabia: $75B + UK: $68.5B + Germany: $52.8B + France: $53.6B + S. Korea: $46.4B + Japan: $46B + Ukraine: $44B _____________________________ = TOTAL: $846,100,000,000 *** US military: $877,000,000,000
Most households reporting severe #foodinsecurity (skipping meals/cutting back on food) don't use a food bank. @TrussellTrust figures represent the "very tip of the iceberg". We're facing a policy-driven public health calamity. #CashFirst @BigIssue bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
As ever Audrey Flannagan of @GlasgowSEFBank tells it how it is. Like the words of so many food bank managers and volunteers up and down the country her testimony tells us much more than statistics ever could #CashFirst @TrussellScot @IFAN_UK
Massive thank you to all the pre ordered De La soul tees we raised £400 for Keynsham food bank 👍 We should not have to be supporting food banks on one of the wealthiest countries in the world!
This is my 6th year at @FactCheck and every winter England’s NHS has been in crisis. So when I started looking at the latest stats I was expecting to do a story about history repeating itself. But it’s not repeating. 2022 was *so* much worse. I can prove it in one graph.🧵
“There is nothing perfect about food poverty, there is nothing perfect about supermarket workers relying on food banks, there is nothing perfect about people being made to be grateful for the meagre crumbs given to them – we need a right to food, now.” feedbackglobal.org/nothing-perfec…
We're a war machine with window dressing. The omnibus bill has twice as much for military + law enforcement as for all else combined - health & human services, housing, transportation, labor, education, water, disaster relief etc. stephensemler.substack.com/p/only-about-a…
It’s vital that the myth that surplus food redistribution solves poverty needs to busted. Adding fridges/freezers to the equation further entrenches a charitable food aid response. This funding could go directly to people in cash so they don’t need food aid #CashFirst @IFAN_UK

The presence of charities in society is not a sign of a healthy society. It's a sign of a society that's failing its members. Charities should be rare and focused on those few falling through universal systems, not common and utilized as a replacement for a torn social contract.

I'm also at @[email protected].At a foodbank gathering in the Midlands today. Feeling so privileged to sit with some of the amazing staff, volunteers & trustees who are working so hard to support people in their communities. A few snippets from conversations: 🧵 - Foodbanks seeing more pensioners…
No! Don't institutionalise charity solutions like food- & baby-banks any more than we already are. People need enough income for essentials. Not charity sticking plasters. Communities are incredibly generous & we're so grateful. But we are not the answer. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Food banks aren't the answer. Baby banks aren't the answer. Charity isn't the answer. We have the tools to end the need for all these sticking plasters. These are not it. We should expect all our leaders to commit to real solutions, not more piecemeal sticking plasters. ⬇ 1/3
Permanent free school meals would be very welcome but setting up/embedding baby banks, like food banks, won’t address the root cause of the poverty faced by parents/carers of young children and would further entrench a charitable response #CashFirst theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Food bank teams imagine running community hubs without the emergency food element. What’s critical is clear commitment from policy-makers to income-focused actions to address the poverty driving people to need food or baby banks in the first place #CashFirst @IFAN_UK
Baby banks are different to food banks. Yes we are meeting huge demand but we’re also about normalising reuse of baby items that have a lot more life in them (& too often go to landfill). My ambition is @LittleVillageHQ becomes a parent sharing/reuse network not a crisis response
Welcome references to #cashfirst actions including working with advice sector in @SadiqKhan actual manifesto - sadiq.london/wp-content/upl… Pilot funding of ‘multi banks’ aka baby or food banks by another name sounds similar to @GordonBrown “transitional arrangement” Vital to remember
I want every child to have the best possible start in life. But essentials like bedding, clothes & toys have been pushed out of reach for many. I’ll fund baby banks in every borough, helping ensure a child’s needs are met from the moment they are born. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
"Food banks aren’t asking to be made redundant to pave the way for food banks by another name:" good @guardianletters (by @sabineegoodwin and others) discuss Gordon Brown's anti-poverty proposals theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
My letter to @guardianletters “Why would we waste further time and effort creating yet another temporary sticking-plaster response to destitution based on charity and surplus?” Now is surely the time to focus 100% on long-term #CashFirst solutions theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
This data is so bleak but invaluable to see vital #foodinsecurity statistics referenced in this way and used to explain the reality of being unable to afford to put food on the table @rloopstra @proofcanada @Food_Foundation @EmmaLewellBuck @TrussellTrust @UKSustain @niallcooper1
Nobody should go without food, yet food insecurity in the UK is rising 📈 Great to see @AnushkaAsthana on @itvpeston explain our analysis 🔽 💥 7.2m people were food insecure in 2022/23 💥 26% of UK Black households are food insecure 💥 30% of social renters are food insecure
It’s been a pleasure to work with @Polly_Trussell David Brownlee @cara_hilton Dominic Stevenson Angelle McClusckey Lisa Belletty Katy Kitchingham & all our @TrussellScot colleagues Looking forward to the next instalment #CashFirstCommunities @IFAN_UK @emmaserafina @abbypreston01

“Britain needs a politics big enough to admit that – and do something about it beyond burying the knowledge in a war of words.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The annual poverty figures published today show 600,000 more people, half of them children, are living in Absolute poverty, the Government's preferred measure, rising for the 2nd year in a row. The Government has failed to protect the most vulnerable 🔽 bit.ly/49YuaeM.
BREAKING Child poverty has risen *again*. 4.3 million children are living in poverty. In a general election year, nothing should be more important to our political leaders than making things better for the country’s poorest kids.
In a couple of hours the @DWPgovuk will publish #FamilyResoursesSurvey #foodinsecurity and food bank data for April 2022 to March 2023. In the midst of the cost-of-living crisis, with the £20 weekly uplift to #UniversalCredit removed, what will this data tell us? With a smaller
Invaluable thread from @r_earwaker @jrf_uk laying bear the stark reality of a 53% increase in the number of people experiencing #foodinsecurity comparing 2021-22 with 2022-23 - that's 2.5 million more people in a year #CashFirst @IFAN_UK
New HBAI data out today also provides an update on food insecurity. It's sadly not surprising , but it is heart-breaking to confirm that in 2022/23, 7.2 million people were in households experiencing food insecurity in the UK - up by 53% (!!) on a year before. A🧵 below: 1/x
