Please help to show and share yr support for the #RightToFood UK Commission

From @IanByrneMP The Right To Food UK Commission, announced in September 2025, will interrogate and report on the scale and scope of food poverty and hunger in the UK today. The Commission will be based out of the UK Parliament and take evidence from around the UK. It has been established jointly by the Right To Food Campaign, which is led in Parliament by Ian Byrne MP for Liverpool West Derby, the University of Westminster, the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) and the Food and Work Network.

Proud to be working on the launch of this today with the @IanByrneMP @FoodandWorkNet1 @BFAWUOfficial and the Right to Food campaign ✊✊✊

We are proud to be playing our part in the Right To Food UK Commission launching in Parliament on Monday No one should be going hungry in the UK in 2025. We will deliver a roadmap for #RightToFood legislation that ends hunger. More info at: ianbyrne.org/rtfcommission

These shocking figures lay out clearly the link between in-work poverty and food insecurity We need a #righttofood but an end to the systemic reasons why people are feeling insecure about food in the first place

Great to read how @MayorofLondon Universal Free School Meals in London helps families financially & improves health, wellbeing & concentration levels of children. Exactly why Universal Free School Meals are a key ask of our national #RightToFood campaign. ianbyrne.org/righttofood

“Access to affordable, safe, nutritious food should neither be a charitable act nor  a luxury, but a basic right” - I am standing with trade unionists, academics calling @Keir_Starmer to tackle food insecurity @FoodandWorkNet1 @feedinglpool @SFoodbanks @GeoFoodieOrg @DrLJBHayes

Prospect supports the call to end food bank Britain. Mike Clancy has joined union leaders and @FoodandWorkNet1 campaigners urging the Prime Minister to tackle food insecurity. labourlist.org/2024/09/keir-s…

Union leaders call on Keir Starmer to end ‘food bank Britain’

Food bank use soared under the Tories. This can't go on. The Labour Government must tackle poverty across Britain by ending 14 years of Tory austerity once and for all.

Union leaders join academics and anti/poverty campaigners from @FoodandWorkNet1 in sending an open letter to @Keir_Starmer warning that the government must not allow foodbanks to be normalised in Britain

This is a v good development labourlist.org/2024/09/keir-s…
