BREAKING 🚨 Almost half of people claiming Universal Credit ran out of food in the last month and did not have enough money to buy more.
Universal Credit is falling short and pushing people to food banks. People cannot wait for an economic turnaround to improve their current situations.
We urge the Government act. People facing hunger need immediate relief, and strong services in their communities.
The upcoming budget must strengthen social security to tackle hardship at the root.

Families are at breaking point.
It is an emergency when millions cannot afford the essentials.
🗣️ As politicians return from summer recess, we’re asking the government to take urgent action to address hardship.

1.2 million low-income households were in arrears with four or more bills.
- In the past year, food banks in the Trussell Trust network distributed a record 3.1m emergency food parcels.
❌This cannot be allowed to continue. (4/5)
ALT "It is astonishing that, with 7 million households going without the essentials and record numbers of emergency food parcels being provided, neither Rishi Sunak nor Keir Starmer are offering any practical measures to tackle this hardship with the urgency required." - Paul Kissack, Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

Truly dismal last five years in the labour market.
First Parliament since 1979 where employment has fallen, and the biggest rise in economic inactivity since these records began in 1971...
Today's figures even worse than usual too.
More later...
Comment from IES Director @tonywilsonIES on the just-announced Labour Market Statistics from @ONS. Our detailed briefing note will be available later today, sign up here to receive via email: employment-studies.co.uk/new…
ALT “The last Parliament has been dismal for employment, and today’s figures are the worst since the pandemic. For the first time since Thatcher’s first term, the number of people in work has fallen, down by around 40,000 since Boris Johnson’s victory. By comparison, employment grew by nearly four million between 2010 and 2019, and by nearly three million across Labour’s three terms. This Parliament has also seen the largest rise in economic inactivity since comparable records began in 1971. Reforming employment support needs to be a top priority for the next Parliament, so that more people can get access to the help that they need to get back into work and get on in work.”
