I am absolutely fuming about this.

Since when did any of you care about the poorest and most vulnerable children?!

Was is as you cutan average 69% from youth services over the last decade? Rising to 90% in some areas including Nottingham and Gateshead?

Data from @YMCAEng_Wales

Was it while you watched over a 5,146% increasein food bank usage, where wonderful charities like the @TrussellTrust have gone from handing out 26,000 parcels a year to more than 1.33 million? (A number only increasing because of the pandemic)

Was it as you slashed spending for education? Were you thinking about the lost generation then?

Data from @TheIFS

Was it as you massively cut welfare spending and introduced cruel measures like sanctions, taking away all income from the families that needed it most for minor infractions such as being late to appointments?

As @DrDomPimenta wrote so well yesterday, the only way out of this is to continue to lockdown hard until we're in a better position with the vaccine rollout. Anything else is more likely to cause even greater damage to current and future generations. https://twitter.com/DrDomPimenta/status/1353325769670459395?s=19
