With 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, lifting the two-child limit still doesn’t go far enough. The UK Government need to end all policies that are keeping children in poverty, such as the benefit cap and sanctions. And there's more bad news... changes to Universal Credit today mean that support for people who are disabled or have a health condition will be drastically reduced. Those who are claiming Universal Credit for the first time will only be able to get half of what people currently get - around £2,550 less per year. This will have a disastrous impact on many vulnerable people who need this support to survive. Poverty is not an accident. It has been engineered into our society by political choice. We need a social security system based on human rights that ensures everyone has enough to live with dignity.

Recruiting children under 15 into the armed forces constitutes a war crime. Read more 👇 amn.st/6019B6UBMh

Today, a group of health charities, human rights organisations and unions have written to every hospital in the country. We’re asking hospital leaders to stand up to NHS England and say no to Palantir. Here’s the briefing: #data" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medact.org/2026/resources…

Just so people understand what happened here: These women claimed asylum because they were likely to be tortured and killed for a gesture standing up to the regime. The regime then started kidnapping their families instead to force them to come home and face likely execution.

📍Lebanon: Civilians and civilian objects do not become lawful targets simply because of an affiliation or perceived connection.
