Breaking news - government sleight of hand over poverty figures.

Actual increase in poverty from their cuts to health related benefits is closer to 400,000 📢

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

The Chancellor said today that she would not do anything to put household finances in danger

Yet the government’s own assessment shows their cuts to health related benefits risk pushing 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children 📢

Their assessment also found... 1/3

[IFAN @IFAN_UK]

As @jrf_uk says ‘A government that came to office pledging to end the moral scar of food bank use should not be taking steps that could leave disabled people at greater risk of needing to use one.’ #CashFirst

We wrote Poverty in Scotland as a bit of a love letter to the social security system.

Today's budget didn't write back😢

We face a winter of severe hardship for people across the UK, there is much more our social security system can do to ease that.

Angela mentions new research from @SWBG where one woman stated “I’m too poor to be ill, I have to work”. It is shocking that people cannot afford to be ill because the social security system does not provide a safety net. #ChallengePoverty

[Charis Chittick @CharisChittick]

@ruthboyler @MrsEmmaJacko @AlysonLaird Yes!!! This would be amazing!

Let me fix that headline:

"Policy does what it was designed to do"

What's corrosive of people's mental and physical health is being constantly stigmatised while being let down time and again by systems that should support them.

Austerity fuels this rubbish and should end.

[Charis Chittick @CharisChittick]

@cdbirt So sorry for your loss. Sending condolences to you and your family.

[The Poverty Alliance @PovertyAlliance]

We can only end the injustice of poverty when people work together.
