These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base
🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister
