I think I need Boris Johnson and/or Rishi Sunak to explain to me how people on UC or low income are supposed to manage, given the rate of inflation. How are people supposed to heat their homes and feed themselves. We don't all have massive expense accounts

Ok, so what is really making me angry is this: Numbers of customers at the foodbank are increasing every day due to #CostOfLivingCrisis. We can only do so much, we are not, and cannot be, the solution. This needs proper intervention by Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson.


are working full time, being unable to afford the absolute basics then you should be. Write to your MP, demand change, stand up for those less fortunate. Austerity is a political choice. No-one chooses poverty @IVsneg Celtic FC Foundation @Meg_A_Kane Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Jack Tobin


2.just kicking the can down the road, spouting never ending platitudes & excuses for inaction. I watched the state opening of Parliament & the government minister interviews this morning. I despair. People must be at breaking point @IVsneg Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Jack Tobin Karen Foresti

I try not to make political statements but Government ministers telling people in poverty what they are doing wrong & how they should be managing their money is outrageous. No empathy, no idea.The Government has been pushing austerity for years. @IVsneg Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Karen Foresti

Government Minister saying that things are going to be difficult for the next few months 🙄. Not for them it won't, they won't be worried about their fuel costs or whether they can afford to eat! Increase benefits now! People are really suffering @IVsneg Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Jack Tobin

It's now getting harder and harder to be apolitical. Austerity is a choice made by the Conservative Government. People are being punished for being poor. That's it. That's all I want to say. @IVsneg Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Karen Foresti Jack Tobin @Meg_A_Kane Jordan Mooney

We're looking for a volunteer driver to join our fantastic team. Anyone interested please email us @[email protected] @IVsneg Celtic FC Foundation Strathclyde University Foodbank Society Jack Tobin Please retweet
