“Starving the Nation: Budget Cuts, Poverty, and the Silent Crisis”
Poverty is not a natural disaster. It’s man-made. It is created by policies, political agendas, and the failure of those in power to prioritize humanity over spreadsheets. As the cost of living rises and support dwindles, the UK risks becoming a country where survival itself is a luxury. The government may not see the starving children or the evicted tenants, but the public does, the communities do and we do.
How the PIP Assessment Criteria Exclude Hidden Disabilities
“One of the most overlooked aspects of disability assessments like PIP is the failure to fairly account for fluctuating conditions. Many individuals live with illnesses that vary from day to day — such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or certain mental health conditions. These are not linear or predictable, and yet the current system often assumes a static level of ability. This creates a harmful narrative that if someone can perform a task once, they can always do it — which is simply not the case. A more compassionate and realistic approach would recognise how the severity of symptoms can fluctuate, affecting daily living and mobility in deeply inconsistent and exhausting ways.”

If we do not act now, we risk allowing history to repeat itself. The rights of disabled people must not be sacrificed in the name of cost-cutting measures. It is time to push back against policies that prioritize financial savings over human dignity.

To Scrap Free School Meals For Infants Is A Moral Failure Of The Highest Order
It is not only the most vulnerable and disabled individuals who are being forced into poverty, but now, children are also bearing the brunt of the government’s actions. While families struggle to make ends meet and children face the harsh reality of hunger, those in power continue to line their own pockets with pay raises.
Universal Credit and Council Tax Discounts: Why You Must Contact Your Local Authority
