Jonathan Reynolds comments on Trussell Trust food parcel research

Jonathan Reynolds MP, Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on the Trussell Trust finding more than 5,100 food parcels were given to people facing crisis across the UK every day in past six months, said:

"Thousands of food parcels given out every day to kids is frankly a disgrace – Britain deserves better than this. 

"Conservative complacency and chaos has created a cost of living crisis with tax hikes, cuts to Universal Credit and soaring bills hammering families this winter.

"Labour would tackle the cost of living crisis through a VAT cut on energy bills to ease the burden on families this winter.”
