This requires a social security system that is fit for purpose, with cross-government action to ensure everyone has enough for the essentials.
Our manifesto asks
- Introduce an Essentials Guarantee into Universal Credit.
- Make debt deductions from social security payments more affordable.
- A long-term strategy and funding for local crisis support.
- Ensure people on low incomes can access affordable credit and advice on money matters.
- Swift and accurate decisions about disability social security support.
- An overhauled employment support offer.
- Scrap the two-child limit.
- New workers’ rights legislation.
- Invest in building 90,000 new social homes every year in England.
- Empower communities with places, spaces, and public transport which build connection.
