@Jennyfurfuls I find this to be one of the best ways to show exactly what happens to our money…and why the rich are getting richer! Be wary of who you vote for… 👇👇👇

We are already hearing from 100s of single parents being told to increase their hours. People are petrified. This is a decimation of the welfare state and yet there are hardly any voices against it? Where is everyone?

Meal on the first night of ⁦@SocialPolicyUK⁩ conference. Room full of laughter, chatting, and catching up. A great evening. I would send a photo of the food but ⁦@AcademicLee⁩ would never let me live it down. #SPAconf2023

Heartbreaking accounts of cost-of-living/social security crisis from @ruthpatrick0 @KateAndersen_ from their important Larger Families project: Wendy can't do bed time stories with her kids anymore because that's the time Asda puts their reduced price items out 💔 #SPAconf2023

I just found out that 29% of children are living in poverty. They didn’t choose this – but the UK government did. Will you join me in saying enough is enough and sign now? https://t.co/yTp49Jop5z

[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

Families from @changing_r describe how they simply have nothing left to cut back on.

The new Prime Minister must increase all benefits in line with inflation. Yet another cut to support for struggling families is unimaginable. #CostOfLivingCrisis

With talk of 'efficiency savings' to come, we ask just one thing. Listen to & share this video.

“It becomes a point where there’s no pot to pull money from...Cuts can’t be made any more...so many people are on the brink”

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

18 billion cut from public services is this government stealing from us our health, our means of caring for each other, our means of mitigating the effects of poverty caused by unemployment, low wages, and living for a long time.

[Changing Realities @changing_r]

Big thanks to the brilliant @Psychologicsal for speaking at the @CPAGUK #Lab22 meeting on child poverty.

Vital to keep focus on the need for action and investment in social security to reduce & prevent child poverty, Hope this is a core topic of this year's conference.

“When Matt first died, they didn’t pay me enough housing benefit.”

It shouldn’t be like this. Are you accessing universal credit or legacy benefits? Do you have children living at home? Join @changing_r and help us demand change.

[Child Poverty Action Group @CPAGUK]

A parent from @changing_r describes the devastating impact of the benefit cap as prices and bills soar. The government must do much more to help families on a low income, including scrapping the benefit cap.

"I haven't eaten three meals a day in months... if he [my son] could get a #FreeSchoolMeal... that would help us out... that £70 is only 6 weeks worth of dinners for him." https://t.co/i07sKyPXPY

Parents and carers from @CovidRealities describe how living on a low income affects their children’s childhoods. Families desperately need more to live on as prices and bills soar. Please listen and retweet.
