Benefits need to increase
[[Britain's welfare system]]. [[the year of the squeeze]]
Because
- [[The basic rate of out-of-work benefits is at its lowest for 30 years]]
- Britain has soaring prices of food
- Britain has soaring prices of rent
- [[Britain has soaring energy bills]]
- These are forcing families to choose between basic essentials such as food and heat - [[Heat or eat]]
- Growing numbers are being forced into debt and relying on [[food banks]]
Related
- Very similar to [[Britain's welfare system is "unfit for purpose" and in urgent need of reform]]
Epistemic status
Type : [[claim]]
Agreement level : [[Yes definitely]]
I agree. I wonder where [[Mutual aid]] could also help. [[Solidarity, not charity]].
