These people are employed to serve us and yet have no idea what it's like in the real world. They are so out of touch, it's not even funny. #ToriesRToast #povertyuk #news #conservativecrisis

It is unacceptable that the use of prepayment metere has not been outlawed in the UK. It is also unacceptable that the poor and less well off are expected to pay the highest energy rates. Access to energy to keep warm in cold weather is a human right not a lifestyle choice ffs @UKLabour #elitism #povertyuk

How obscene that #FoodBank have become normalised in the 6th richest country in the world. What kind of dystopia is it when Tory politicians make headlines celebrating the opening of new food banks and big food retailers embrace them in their digital marketing to boost their profits?

Major problems in private housing in the UK. It’s simply not affordable to most.
Radical thought here, but how about we stop seeing housing as a profit-making venture? ‘Landlord’ shouldn’t be a career option. I will probably get shot down by the private landlords here for this but a home should be a fundamental human right, not a privilege. Who decided that a persons shelter/ safe space should be monetised for profit anyway? #Housing #Housing4all #Fairness #RadicalInclusion #Landlords #PovertyUK
