Last night we presented the UK Parliamentary Commission on the Right to Food's initial report to MPs, alongside powerful testimony from people with lived experience.
The evidence is overwhelming. Hunger in the UK is not caused by a lack of food, but by political choices that leave millions without enough income to live with dignity.
The cost of poverty to our society is enormous. It places huge pressure on the NHS, education, social care, local authorities and our economy. Putting the Right to Food into law is not just the right thing to do morally it is an investment that will reduce those long term costs and build a healthier, fairer and more productive society.
Parliament now has a choice continue managing poverty, or legislate for the Right to Food and end food insecurity for good.
This is about justice, accountability and ensuring no one goes hungry in one of the richest countries in the world.
It's time to act.
