The statistic for the second lowest in the G7 comes from an article on the conservative website. Which doesn’t list any sources for its data. I checked.The UK has the second lowest food bank use in the G7.
The rise in usage began under Labour & well before any welfare reforms.
The rise in usage is driven by increased referrals.
Ask yourself what happened to those people previously, they borrowed from family or went hungry!
We live in a society that throws away 30% of the food we produce................ call that "Green" ?
I sometimes despair that the population (let alone politicians) can`t see the link!!
foodbank usage has increased exponentially under the conservatives. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/education-48037122
To suggest otherwise is bordering on the delusional.
