    I personally know several people who are working and bringing in decent wages who still use food banks, they go up and down the country when not working ripping off different food banks.

    so many people claiming benefits they arent entitled to. so many people being given handouts just because they make a lifestyle choice to have children. so many people happy paying little or no tax….and they wonder why there is a crisis. so many celebs using tax avoidance schemes then having the cheek to expect hardworking decent people to stump up for charity…the people that are the worst off in the uk are those that dont have children, they pay more in council tax and get no free handouts just for going to work.

    LOAD OF NONSENSE !! The people I see who claim they can’t afford the high prices are fat people pushing a trolley round Tesco loaded with ready meals, pizza, crisps, sweets is laughable, you can get a large bag of potatoes for 75p, eggs & flour is a cheap meal making pancakes, I doubt if these fattys know what to do with a potato, I can comfortably eat for a week on £5 & regularly do !

    We need to stop funding this senseless war in the Ukraine and put the money to good use in our own country the UK, we need more council houses building and help those struggling with food poverty if the government invested in putting solar panels on every home to help solve the power shortages and the excess goes into the national grid and those who live in the homes get enough power for personal use cheaper

    Yep result of cost of living crisis, 274,000 homeless on the streets, think about that,,,,,,, then tax rises , higher fuel duties one of the worst in europe, higher interest rates, meaning more under threat of being homeless, , ,, then food banks struggling now to supply families with help,,,,, how wonderful that Rishi the multi millionaire. With billionaire spouse., says he knows, and understands its a difficult time for everyone. And keir sits back, not caring about homeless or even getting social housing building programs under way, no not at all, they would rather concentrate on more important things, , lets vote both labour and tories the cons out of office, out of parliament, millionaires. The bulk of them. Vote REFORM UK party lets get our country back, its no problem feeding 47,000 illegal migrants, even putting them into emergency accomodation like 4 /5star hotels and stately homes, , whilst everyone else pays for this favoritism, , whilst our homeless freeze to death on streets,, no one should starve, no one should be homeless, , where is the equal care, , some ger food, some get free bikes, some get hotels, etc, some get free medical treatment, doctors on call, dentist treatment too, plus new i phones new clothes plus even an amount of money, each week, its very fair system Rishi and keir, now its time for REFORM party. Let's see how you lot cope out of work., in your millionaire pads,.

    Whilst the INVADING ARMY sit in nice warm hotels scattered around Britain, with 3 hot meals a day, free mobiles and wi-fi all at taxpayers expense! Sunak and the Conservatives plan to bring a further 1,000,000 INVADERS a year into Britain! Record numbers of INVADERS, twice as many as 2 years ago are crossing the Mediterranean and Europe heading for Britain! This is just the start! Fight back, like the Irish!

    Why people have not taking the government to court about the third child rule as when they become of working age the government will tax and expect them to pay into a system that does not recognise thier existence it is not right and against the individual human rights to be treated equal this should be rectified immediately as children are going hungry

    British people have to struggle, while people that come to this country ILLEGALLY get put in nice warm hotels, no bills to pay, 3 meals a day, this government is a fucking discrace, what a bunch of spineless gutless weak pathetic people in government, the sooner they go the better.
