The 2-child limit is a policy which unfairly targets vulnerable families @RishiSunak did you know that 50% of families impacted are single parents? Or that 20% of households have at least 1 disabled child? @TheSun #AllKidsCount thesun.co.uk/news/27445505/….

Britain does not have a sicknote culture but it does have a broken social security system, labour market failings & a health service that is beyond stretched. Dealing with these system problems is the best means of supporting people, both those who can work and those that can’t.

Baby banks...sigh. Good to see candidates recognising the extreme hardship communities face - but we should be done with sticking plasters. The next Mayor could be looking at cash-first local welfare, advice services, housing...so many other levers to be part of the solution.

Baby banks...sigh. Good to see candidates recognising the extreme hardship communities face - but we should be done with sticking plasters. The next Mayor could be looking at cash-first local welfare, advice services, housing...so many other levers to be part of the solution.
Permanent free school meals would be very welcome but setting up/embedding baby banks, like food banks, won’t address the root cause of the poverty faced by parents/carers of young children and would further entrench a charitable response #CashFirst theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Across Britain, paid and unpaid care work remains undervalued and ignored: here are six ways governments can change that. @SilviaGalandini and @CEJSpoors introduce our new #Valued report that sets out how to break the link between care and poverty. views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2024/04/britai…
We mustn’t further normalise baby banks and other ‘hand out’ responses to poverty. They are a distraction from the solutions we need to address the root causes of poverty being experienced by families.
This is why @SadiqKhan is mayor London needs - we should eradicate hunger and not need food banks, but baby banks helping families with costs of kids and to reuse and recycle should be the norm because kids go through so much! Proud labour leading this - amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Today, we launched our #Valued report with partners. Care is essential. It sustains our social and economic foundations. We need political will and leadership to value all care and finally break the link between care, poverty and inequalities. A thread🧵 policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/valu…
