£41.

That’s how much a couple with two children will need to be surviving on per day to qualify for full legal aid next year – which is 57% below the minimum income standard.

This is a finding from a recent report that we published today.

The 2023 Means Test Review promised to address this problem, but the previous government delayed changes until 2026.

In the King’s speech, the government pledged to reduce homelessness and violence against women and girls. These pledges cannot be fulfilled unless it introduces the changes that have already been agreed and budgeted for.

Action must be taken to improve access to justice for millions.

Exclusive on @TimesRadio - the heartbreaking story of the NHS consultant who has lost virtually his entire family in #Gaza and now wants to bring his orphaned nephew to the UK. The @ukhomeoffice has so far refused and hasn’t issued a single visa to children injured in Gaza.

My old friend @SuellaBraverman has described rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' I always thought lifestyle choices were things such as cargo pants, fishing and decorating your bathroom with a bowl of potpourri.

I want to see if this image I found on google described as
'Wooden Botanical Fragrant Potpourri Bowl With Lemon' can raise £50,000 for homelessness charity @crisis_uk

Very well deserved

Survivors deserve better than #IICSAConcludingReport being drowned out. They've waited years & many helped #IICSA shine a light on widespread abuse. The Government should have stepped up, so the new contenders for PM ought to set out what action they'll take after today's report
