Work with the NEU

THIS year has been incredibly tough for millions of people across Britain and around the world.
 
Here at home, poverty is rising while the essential services upon which we all rely are starved of vital resources.

The Chancellor’s Budget was a missed opportunity to bring about the transformative change this country needs. I remain appalled by the government’s decision to keep the two-child benefit cap, cut winter fuel allowance and slash disability benefits.

Instead of trapping thousands of people in poverty, the government needs to tackle the root cause of our country’s economic crisis: inequality. I will continue to campaign for wealth taxes so we can lift people out of poverty, fund our public services properly and invest in a greener future.
 
Globally, we’ve witnessed unimaginable suffering: genocide in Gaza, wars in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen, Syria and Ukraine, all shattering the dreams of a generation.
