Re: We cannot even look after our People
"Researchers from the University of Oxford looked at figures from the UK's largest food bank provider, the Trussell Trust between 2012 and 2015.
They analysed data from 259 local authorities and found that cuts in benefit payments coincided with a rise in people turning to food banks for help.
Our findings show clear evidence of sanctions being linked to economic hardship and hunger, as we see a close relationship between sanctioning rates and rates of food bank usage across local authorities in the UK"
I wonder how much this research cost to come to such an obvious and logical result?
