PSA: PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. Here’s why this is important 🧵

Great to be at the @NoChildBehindUK @MariB_NEU strategy meeting with so many activists and recent achievements. As social workers we see how widespread food poverty is in the UK and we support the next steps to make 'Free School Meals for All' a reality.

Change? Tomorrow's #KingsSpeech is a chance to prove it 👇🏾 What we're looking for: 🏠A fresh start at reforming the private rented sector with a new, strong bill 🏘️Legislation that will help deliver the 90,000 social homes a year that will end the #HousingEmergency

Making our message to @Keir_Starmer loud and clear from day one 💪 Right now, there's record homelessness, soaring private rents and a severe shortage of social homes. The new government must kickstart its plan to end the housing emergency. It's the real ‘change’ people need.
