@anndaviesplaid.bsky.social MP Caerfyrddin
Earlier this year, we showed MPs what it’s like to use the Jobcentre now and what it could be like if everyone is given the time and support they need.

@turn2us.org.ukThe future prosperity of our country depends on more people having a decent chance now. It relies on our social security system providing young people with the financial stability and personalised support they need to thrive. It’s time for the government to invest in a better future for all of us.

@turn2us.org.ukThe All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ending the Need for Food Banks is requesting evidence that will help make the case to government.

@turn2us.org.ukAs part of the Guarantee our Essentials campaign, we’re standing with @trusselluk.bsky.social and @jrf-uk.bsky.social to call on the government to create an independent process that sets the rate of Universal Credit based on what these things actually cost.
www.trussell.org.uk/our-work/cha...
@turn2us.org.ukBelieve it or not, the rate of Universal Credit has never been set based on the actual cost of life’s essentials. It’s time for that to change. Our health and wellbeing, independence, ability to work is all dependent on us being able to afford to buy food, pay our bills and travel when we need to.
