He went on:

This is exactly my point. I’ll invite you personally to come to Ashfield, look at our food bank, how it works. And I’ll think you’ll see first hand that there’s not this massive use for food banks in this country. We’ve got generation after generation who cannot cook properly. They can’t cook a meal from scratch. They cannot budget. The challenge is there.

"But now, we have a choice," he said, adding "do we want to live in a country where the response to every question is: "what is the government going to do about it?"
"Or do we choose to recognise that government has limits, that government should have limits." - Rishi Sunak

She said the government was introducing big taxes but said "those taxes are not falling on the banks - bankers got a tax cut" in reference to a 5% cut in the surcharge levied on banks' profits. - Rachel Reeves

The government has faced strong criticism over its decision to reduce the universal credit benefit by £20-a-week.
Mr Sunak did not offer to maintain the £20 uplift - introduced during the pandemic - but instead announced that the "taper" would be cut so that instead of losing 63p of benefit for every £1 earned above the work allowance, the amount will be reduced to 55p.
Ms Reeves said that would not make up for the wider cuts to universal credit which affected five million families.

policy  tools  to  transform  our  economy  towards  investment 
and innovation in a green and socially just direction, ensuring 
that  everyone  has  the  right  to  a  good  life. The  key  policies 
include  the  Green  Industrial  Revolution,  an  end  to  austerity, 
and a new National Education Service.
The Conservative Party manifesto, by comparison, has a focus 
on Brexit and a handful of public services (police, NHS) where 
headline promises are made about boosting the numbers of 
officers and nurses. Meanwhile, many other services lose out.

This is obvious to anyone who opens their eyes to see the immense growth in foodbanks and the queues waiting outside them, the people sleeping rough in the streets, the growth of homelessness, the sense of deep despair that leads even the Government to appoint a Minister for suicide prevention and civil society to report in depth on unheard of levels of loneliness and isolation. And local authorities, especially in England, which perform vital roles in providing a real social safety net have been gutted by a series of government policies.
