🚨 Child poverty should not be normalised 🚨
Today, new shocking figures from @DWPgovUK show 100,000 more children are living in poverty than last year. There's no excuse for children to go without food, warmth, or basic necessities.
It's time for the UK government to scrap unfair policies like the #SiblingTax and improve the lives of thousands of families 👉https://t.co/wN8m5Kj8KK

@RoryTingle1@ginajourno I guess I should expect nothing less from this shambles of an outlet, but this kind of stuff makes my blood boil. They know who these headlines are reaching, I truly wonder how they sleep at night.
@RoryTingle1 and @Ginajourno should be ashamed of themselves sharing poorly researched and misquoted headlines like this.
The "less safe for jews than in Isreal" is pulled from an interview in which Hotovely says her friends in Isreal have ASKED this.
Blatant fearmongering.
Families in the UK are being forced out of their homes and into homelessness due to #HousingBenefit being frozen since 2020.
We stand with @Shelter in saying it's time to #UnfreezeHousingBenefit

Passing though central #London and seeing seemingly endless offices that are clearly not in use post-pandemic, all while there is a #HousingCrisis going on? Gets ya thinking… 🤔

The @metoffice prediction that the record-breaking temperatures in 2022 are a ‘sign of things to come’ is extremely alarming.
The biggest polluting industries and the UK government must step up to protect children's futures.
