SNP’s leader in Westminister Ian Blackford didn’t disappoint at Prime Ministers’ Questions, taking aim at the lack of support for people during the current cost of living crisis.

He said: “This morning, the Trussell Trust confirmed that 830,000 children across the UK are being left to depend on emergency food parcels.”

Blackford then called on the prime minister to match the ‘game-changing’ child payment scheme introduced by Scotland’s SNP government.

The Scottish Child Payment helps towards the costs of supporting your families in need. It’s a weekly payment of £20 for every child under 6 years of age.

Boris Johnson says the government is already taking action to help “hard-pressed families” in a “tough time” and has increased council funding for this.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
