❗ 86% of low-income households on Universal Credit are going without essentials. We’re in Parliament with @TrussellUK and hundreds of people to talk to MPs and call for change. Our social security system should, at the very least, ensure everyone can afford the essentials.

We’re here today at Westminster to call for an #EssentialsGuarantee! ✊
