Thank you to each and every one of you who signed our petition – over 150,000 of you signed it and stood with us to call for a better future. Our collective voices are impossible to ignore, and together, we will end hunger in the UK. 💚

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk We support our local TrussellTrust my husband takes in a £25 voucher every month for their shop our lovely volunteers do not want tins of chick peas. My husband bakes cakes and take buns for lovely volunteers to have with a cup of T. We are a small town they need support.

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk This is the problem with the world, making people reliant on the government instead getting a job yourself, if your disabled you should get everything but you shouldn’t be claiming benefits when you are fit to work

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk I have put a message out I did not look at things forgive me. We give the trust in our local town in Wiltshire a voucher for the volunteers to shop we are pensioners but lots of people worse of than us. The volunteers are wonderful every now and again hubs bakes cakes for them.

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk Clearly I don't know math but what I've learnt in home economics, from low income & unstable employment in 5 years, makes them suspect I could fo a better job managing the economy. My current situation is a direct result of their actions. Does Trussell Trust support legal action?

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk Well @LBC @RachelSJohnson think £600 a week left over money is not a lot. Let's see you step up and sort this mess out then!

@TrussellTrust @jrf_uk I had never heard of your organization until a few days ago. I’m proud to support your efforts. Best wishes from the United States.

Extra! Extra! 📰 In the last six months, our community of food banks provided over 1.4 MILLION food parcels. People are having to turn to food banks because Universal Credit is falling short. But it doesn't have to be this way.

77% of people claiming Universal Credit & disability benefits have gone without essentials in the last six months. Today's £5bn cut to disability support is indistinguishable from the cruelty of Tory austerity & goes against the very principles our party claims to stand for.

Rishi Sunak, "Our plan is working" Sir Michael Marmot, "We're starting to suffer Victorian diseases.. Universal Credit pays 70% of the cost of essentials.. If you're on Universal Credit we guarantee you will get sick because we don't give you enough money to eat healthily, to heat your home" "Britain has become a poor country with a few rich people.. It's worse to be poor in Britain than in most other European countries. Poor people in Britain have a lower income than Slovenia'"

❗ 77% of people claiming Universal Credit and disability benefits have gone without essentials in the last 6 months. Cuts to disability support risk pushing even more people deeper into poverty. We cannot let this happen. Email your MP and urge them to call on the PM to think again 👉

At PMQs the Tory leader said that 1.5million extra people are on universal credit - but that's because they are moving off legacy systems as she knows very well! In fact, more people are now in work than when the Tories were in office, so was she misleading the House?
