Following last night's harrowing #PANORAMA Surviving the Cost of Living, a short #THREAD on food banks.

The #CostOfLivingCrisis is catastrophic for millions of people, & the culmination of 12 years of shameless, brutal, & purely ideological Tory misrule.

"Our team are so worried about what we’re seeing... Last week we registered a 91-year-old man. During the interview, he shook his head and said “in all my life, I’ve never taken from charity. Not once. But there’s nothing left now after the bills”.

1️⃣ FUNDING

These promises of “extra spending” we hear every year never materialise

The reality: An NHS underfunded by by 30% since 2010

2️⃣STAFFING

Dangerous staffing shortages across the NHS

40,000 nurses
10,000 Hospital DRs
7000 GPs

Nursing bursary cut
Training budgets cut
Imposing unfair contracts on Junior DRs
