Doorknocking today with the Druids Heath Forum in Brum to talk to residents about housing conditions. Evidence of horrendous failings by Birmingham City Council. One block is covered in sewage. The smell is unbearable. Itโs been like that for over 2 weeks. Dave from the Forum:

๐ Neil changed my life. He believed in me and I wouldnโt be the person I am today if it wasnโt for his agitation, guidance and kindness.
Itโs incredible to think just how many people can say the same.
Sending โค๏ธ to his family and @CitizensUK. See you all in the coming days x

Devastated to announce our founder @NeilJamesonUK has passed away. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
Such a great legacy in UK democracy and social justice, Neil often shared this famous quote - โIt is not hope that gives rise to action, it is action that inspires hopeโ

Most of us havenโt had a proper pay rise for a decade. The nationโs safety net has been slashed.
Our budgets are being squeezed like never before.
We need a new plan.
Thatโs why weโre launching #StopTheSqueeze - a real plan for an affordable Britain.

A massive moment for @iealondon. Theyโve been advocating these policies for years. They incubated Truss and Kwarteng during their early years as MPs. Britain is now their laboratory.

Britain started the day with a threadbare social safety net and more than a third of the entire population unable to afford the essentials. We end the day as we began, with the spring statement having done nothing to support low-income people. @MichaeIPugh on #SpringStatement

23.4 million people - 34% of the UK - will be struggling to stay afloat next month. To date @RishiSunakโs response to the #CostOfLiving crisis has been woefully inadequate.
Below, 4 key areas to look out for in the #SpringBudget, & actions the Chancellor should take ๐งต๐๐พ

Grim new analysis from @NEF.
In 2022 UK, struggling to afford essentials is a mainstream reality.
This April, 23.4 million people, more than 1/3 (34%) of the population & almost 1/2 (48%) of all children, will be making sacrifices day to day.

There is a way that we can make sure everyone has enough to make ends meet, and can live in a warm, comfortable home that doesnโt pollute the planet.

Want the *honest* state of play on #LevellingUp today?
@NEFโs new report shows a staggering 60% of the country needs to be #LevelledUp, and sets out a 5-point policy shift to really do the job, backed by 6 metro mayors.

What if everyone was on #UniversalCredit? ๐ก
And what if it was underpinned by an unconditional weekly cash payment? ๐ฐ
Those are two of the ideas that make up a #LivingIncome

Whilst this flailing government makes clear it has run out of ideas on social security with sanctions being nothing but a way to failure and further poverty, it gives me hope that there are other ideas out there that show it doesnโt have to be this way /1

Whether itโs Guaranteed Decent Income, #LivingIncome, #BasicIncome or Minimum Income Guarantee - this is the future of the UKโs social security system and Iโm confident hope and solidarity will beat out the desperate attempts of the government to divide us #CostOfLiving /4
