3.8 million people in the U.K. are now officially destitute - more than double five years ago. It is a Victorian scandal for modern Britain, where Tory policies have left millions to beg for toilet roll and a warm meal.

Families are being put in impossible positions.

No parent should have to worry about whether they can afford food for their children.

Will you help us fix this? Sign our petition calling on all UK political party leaders to guarantee #OurEssentials 👉 https://t.co/mgFoceM2OW

🧵 @UKLabour said that our social security system must work to tackle the soaring need for food banks. And we agree.

🔍 Yet, they haven't said how they're going to do this.

We're at Labour Party Conference with @amyhart1707 to call on Labour to make a plan.

[EveLCrook @CrookEve]

@LBFlyawayhome The best one.

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

The Prime Minister, @RishiSunak, said that everyone should be able to afford the essentials. We agree, but right now, it’s not a reality.

Millions of people are turning to food banks because Universal Credit is falling short.

👉 Where is his plan to tackle hardship in the UK?

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Declines in nature must be stopped AND reversed.

Our priorities for all political parties are:
🌲Bring back lost wildlife
🌊End river pollution
🚜Fund wildlife-friendly farming
🥕Enable healthy communities
🌎Tackle the climate emergency

People are going without the essentials because Universal Credit is falling short.

We're standing with food banks and @jrf_uk to urge political party leaders to ensure that Universal Credit at least covers #OurEssentials.

The phone rings all day long.
Folk reporting hedgehogs seen out in the day.
Most casualties are just babies.
And every single one is suffering from starvation.
The callers are shocked.
They think hedgehogs love slugs, which are plentiful.
Please help educate.

The social security system is falling short.

It does not provide the support, protection or dignity for people to cover the cost of their own essentials, like food.

In fact, the way the social security system is set up is pushing people to food banks. Here’s why 🧵👇

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

We shouldn’t have to choose between new homes, clean water & nature’s recovery 🌱

We’re urging the @GOVUK not to U-turn on promises to protect our environment and stop nutrient pollution. #NutrientNeutrality

Only 55% of Brits think everyone should be able to afford a television. In today’s @guardian I wrote about the insistence that people on benefits and low wages should have to live a life of misery - a kind of penance for their capitalist failure. https://t.co/ibiHcrTuuu

🧵 Millions of people across the UK, like Amanda, Kevin and Matt, are facing hunger.

Despite living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, 1 in 7 people in the UK face hunger due to a lack of money.

But it doesn’t have to be this way for anyone.
