I was proud to attend the @BFAWUOfficial conference today and speak about the work of our #RightToFoodCommission and the campaign for a #HillsboroughLaw.
The @BFAWUOfficial have been steadfast supporters of both campaigns for many years, and it’s a privilege to work alongside their General Secretary @sarahwoolley01 on the Commission.
A huge thank you to @BFAWUOfficial for your continued support, solidarity and commitment to justice. ✊

📢 Our 2026 #BrokenPlate report shows the poorest families with children would need to spend 𝟴𝟱% of their income to afford the government-recommended healthy diet.
This should act as a wake-up call for policymakers to ensure everyone has access to good food.

Today, the UK Right To Food Commission has written to the Prime Minister raising urgent concerns over rising food insecurity, increasing food inflation and reports of potential dynamic pricing for food in supermarkets.
With 14 million people across the UK already living with food insecurity, we are calling for immediate action to protect families struggling to afford basic essentials.
Our message is clear:
* Food is a human right, not a luxury.
* Dynamic pricing for food must never be introduced.
* Household incomes must rise for those most at risk.
* Support for community food hubs and grassroots organisations must be strengthened.
* Excessive profiteering while families go hungry cannot continue.
The evidence gathered by the Commission across Liverpool, Newcastle, Aberdare, Cardiff and Belfast shows that food insecurity is driving health inequalities, damaging life opportunities and deepening poverty in communities across the country.
We urge the Government to act now.

🚨 BREAKING: The gap in life expectancy between people living in the UK’s poorest and wealthiest areas has grown to 20 years.
Worryingly, most areas across the UK have seen healthy life expectancy fall since 2012.
This isn’t right. Everyone should be able to live a healthy, secure life - no matter where they live or how much they earn.

Every day people are turning to food banks because they can't afford life's essentials. This is not right. We need urgent action and we need it NOW.

People don’t go to food banks because they want to.
People go because they have no money.

From today more children in the UK will gain access to the food they need to thrive as the two‑child limit is lifted. Our evidence sessions so far show this will help to move thousands of children out of poverty. Thanks to our Vice Chair @IanByrneMP for standing up for children and families in Parliament. #RightToFood #EndChildPoverty #FoodJustice

Today marks a significant day in the fight against child poverty, as the lifting of the two-child limit comes into force, moving thousands of children out of poverty. I’m proud to have originally voted against this cruel policy in 2024 and glad the Govt has finally seen sense.

The two-child limit is scrapped from today!

Today in central London - join the demo against the far right.
Join us: 28 March, Park Lane, 12pm

ALT An image featuring a white text box overlaid on a photo of an urban street scene. The text box displays a social media post from "Together Alliance (@UKTogetherAll)" which reads: "28 March will be a turning point in history. But to make that happen, we need to show up in big numbers. We have to show that the majority rejects far-right values. Join us: 28 March, Park Lane, 12pm." The background shows a concrete wall under a bridge or overpass, covered in graffiti and a row of black and white posters that mirror the message in the text box. The posters say "AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT" and include the date, time, and location: "28 MARCH 12PM PARK LANE, LONDON." A traffic cone is visible in the lower-left corner.

This morning, I was pleased to receive assurances from DEFRA Ministers that they will work with the Right To Food UK Commission to help change the disgraceful fact that 14 million people in the UK currently face food insecurity.
The genuinely shocking outburst from the benches opposite reveal precisely why we are in this situation in the first place.

Everyone should be able to keep their home warm.
Everyone should be able to afford to put food on the table.
Everyone should be able to afford the essentials.

The Guardian has reported targeted attacks on farming communities that experts say were intended to prevent villages producing food.
The fields once fed an entire region until they were burnt down.
Every single child deserves nutritious food so they can grow and play. For nearly three years, children in Sudan have been facing unimaginable violence and trauma. They're losing childhoods they can never get back. They deserve peace.
The UK Government must:
- Do everything it can to ensure perpetrators of these horrific crimes are held to account
- Dial up pressure on all warring parties and their international backers to secure a lasting political solution
- Push for an immediate end to the violence
