The poor do not always have to be with us. This is a choice we can make as a society.

There’s a real debt crisis in Britain – but it’s not the one the politicians or journalists are talking about.
While Rachel Reeves and the media obsess over government borrowing, 4 million people are already in negative budgets, meaning they're unable to afford the basics of life without debt.
This video explains why the real debt crisis in the UK is about private debt, not public debt. It shows how austerity, low wages, speculative markets and broken benefits drive ordinary families into despair, all while the Treasury celebrates its so-called “fiscal discipline.”
I argue that government debt is not a burden; it’s a tool, but private debt is a real trap. Meanwhile, the Treasury's obsession with balanced budgets is leading Britain towards social collapse and, dangerously, towards fascism.

Fake @CitizensAdvice now diversifying into loan sharking. This is what happens when @TheFCA fail to act on reports. These leaches create new ways of conning people on top of mis-sold IVAs facebook.com/citizendebt/

From April 2025, the Pension Credit Guarantee Element will increase by 4.1%, - the new minimum income guarantee is £227.10/week if single or £346.60/week for a couple
I’ve seen a case today where the person is 20p over the limit but will be a few pounds under from April…

We were pleased to coordinate this open letter to @AngelaRayner on guarantors signed by 28 organisations.
Far from allowing certain types of tenants access to housing, guarantor requests are often a tool for discrimination. They must be restricted.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

Some ask for bank details, some say they’ll charge a £ to verify your account.
