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]]
