We know hunger and hardship already pushes up public service costs alone by £13.7 billion.

MPs are being asked to vote for a Bill that will drive up hunger and hardship and undermine the UK government's promises on economic growth and ending the need for emergency food.

But the fight isn't over.

If enough MPs vote against it, we can stop this bill from becoming law and show the UK government why they need to think again and make our social security system fit for purpose.

I understand that this may, to some, be unthinkable, but no UK gov could contemplate cutting support to vulnerable poor people whilst leaving the wealth of the richest untouched, without the safety net of charities.
If charities threaten to close their doors, every constituency MP would panic!

And under a Labour government too. Starmer and Reeves are all but ensuring Reform will win the next election.
