🚨 NEW from JRF:
This is a #MiniBudget that has wilfully ignored families struggling through a cost of living emergency and instead targeted its action at the richest.
It leaves those on the lowest incomes out in the cold with no extra help to get them through the winter. 🧵

The Government should have combined its decision to put money into the pockets of high earners with a decision to increase benefits early.
Those on the lowest incomes have already run out of options – forced to cut back on food and energy, go into debt and into arrears.
