The prime minister is leading by example by donating 15% of his salary to the fight against homelessness. His gesture reminds us that homelessness is all our problem. Everyone needs to put their shoulder to the wheel. As told excl to @BigIssue: https://t.co/ipyfS66Yn8 776 views · 18 likes · 5 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Andy Burnham’s first pledge as Prime Minister is to end rough sleeping. A Prime Minister with his priorities straight. I’m also encouraged to hear his intention to build a more preventative state. This will be crucial if he truly wants to eradicate rough sleeping for good. 1.8K views · 17 likes · 6 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

I am gifting the government a chance to right the wrongs of their recent strategy and introduce proper statutory targets for reducing child poverty. https://t.co/CRy1f1mgZj 673 views · 5 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

As we enter 2026, I'm calling for government "KPIs" on poverty reduction. Bold targets overseen by a Ministry of Poverty Prevention, converging Whitehall's energies to dismantle the hardship suffered by millions.

Our legendary @BigIssue Christmas special is on sale now. When you buy your magazine, remember to take it. This may support the vendor financially, but you fail to support the whole reason why they have become vendors of Big Issue in the first place - to work, not beg. https://t 417 views · 12 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
