Good to talk to @eddiemair on @LBC On the scale of the new grant scheme vs cut to Universal Credit next week: 6 million families about to lose £20 a week. If they all manage to get a grant that’ll cover about £3.20 a week. Won’t buy a lot of food, heating, bus fares…

100 leading organisations across the UK wrote to @BorisJohnson urging the Government not to go ahead with the #UniversalCredit cut.

They are acutely aware of the damage the cut will cause.

The PM must listen to them and #KeepTheLifeline this October

“My rent has gone up. My nursery fees are going up, fuel is going up in price. My energy bills are increasing. The reality is, how does someone in my position find a spare £80 a month?"

We must protect families from harm.

We must #KeepTheLifeline
