Post offices are loved and valued by local communities, but their future is uncertain.

➡️ We're urging the government to increase the funding it provides to post offices. Our Senior Policy Researcher @gbyrne03 outlines why ⤵️

We can’t let public money prop up climate criminals and bad bosses. If we really want to #BuildBackBetter, the Bank of England must stop fueling climate breakdown and start leading our green recovery - sign @PositiveMoneyUK 's petition now 👇 https://t.co/5HUziz7b0N

There is no financial problem more common or severe than council tax debt. More than 2 million households are behind on the bill. At the very least, whoever's in government next needs to stop pushing those people further into difficulty - new research https://t.co/Axej5TShuf

Fantastic work from @Z2K_trust and others calling out DWP's dishonesty. #UniversalCredit needs fixing, not advertising.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

Congrats to @Z2K_trust - the welfare rights charity responsible for the DWP complaint.

I fully support their call for an apology. The DWP act like they’re above rules, let alone ethics, and it’s time they showed some accountability.

[Ellie Thompson @this_is_ellie_t]

Maybe the govt should put money into fixing #UniversalCredit rather than paying for ads that lie about how well it's working? 🤷 https://t.co/sOxB1F14X9

We are a parliamentary democracy

That's why suspending Parliament is a constitutional outrage

[Josephine Tucker @josietucker]

Fragmenting poverty into #foodpoverty #periodpoverty etc can obscure the real problem and drive inappropriate policy responses centred on, e.g., provision of food and sanitary products, rather than addressing underlying poverty. Totally agree with @ruthpatrick0 #SPAConf2019

[Jen Durrant @JenDurrant1]

@SianWilliams41 @sarahporretta @MoneyPensionsUK @WomenEqualities I'll be there! Looking forward to it

I’m taking part in the London #LegalWalk to raise money for @ToynbeeHall’s Free Legal Advice Centre, helping 100s of people each year get vital legal support. Please give what you can to help people get the access to justice we all deserve https://t.co/vxSlEvAtP7 Thank you

[Jen Durrant @JenDurrant1]

We’re home! Amazing to be back in our beautifully restored offices @ToynbeeHall. This fantastic new space will help us to work closer alongside the community to tackle the biggest issues facing people in East London and beyond. Watch this space!

Great blog from @Z2K_trust showing how advance payments are not a solution. And agreed - DWP spending money on UC ad campaign is totally shameless #5WeeksTooLong

Great news from @TheFCA today, limiting the costs of unarranged overdrafts so people on low & volatile incomes are no longer hit by the highest charges

[Financial Conduct Authority @TheFCA]

We’re proposing radical reforms to the way banks charge for overdrafts, including tackling high charges for unarranged overdrafts #faircredit

An amazing £23,435.25 will help empower young people in the East End thanks to all those who gave through the @BigGive #ChristmasChallenge18. A huge thank you to all our donors, those who helped to promote the campaign, and our match-funders @ChildhoodTrust and @PromsatStJudes

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

It's unacceptable that 4.1 million children now live in poverty. We can tackle this burning injustice by taking action on housing, social security and low pay to loosen the constraints poverty places on families' lives: https://t.co/H14CJSsjbC #SolveUKPoverty
