The Government must act NOW to stop millions of people going hungry and falling into poverty. The cost of living crisis is already hitting families hard - and with energy bills set to soar even more, things are going from bad to worse. That’s why former PM Gordon Brown - joined by Metro Mayors, anti-poverty groups and faith leaders - is urging the Government to announce an emergency budget this week that boosts Universal Credit immediately. The Government raised Universal Credit during the pandemic - providing a lifeline to millions - and with enough pressure, they could do it again. If we come together as a social movement with a HUGE petition demanding immediate action, we can push the new Prime Minister to protect vulnerable households before the next energy price hike hits."
