❗ 14 MILLION people are facing hunger and hardship in the UK. In 2025. In one of the richest countries in the world. We don’t need more food banks – we need change. Repost if you agree.

The two-child limit is pushing children to hardship, punishing them for having siblings. If the UK government doesn't act, they risk forcing more families to food banks. Read more ⤵️ https://www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/poverty/2025/09/we-must-scrap-the-two-child-limit

“We're seeing more people trapped in severe and sustained poverty, turning to food banks because they have nowhere else to go" @helenbarnard.bsky.social 📝 The cross-party Poverty Strategy Commission report is out today. It would lift 4.2 million people out of poverty. 1/2

Good to see the Green Party's new leader - Zach Polanski - raising the issue that people are struggling to put food on the table. We CAN end hunger by ensuring everyone can access secure jobs and affordable homes, and updating our social security system. 📸credit: BBC Breakfast
