Stop the rising use of Food Banks! Give the benefits back! Stop austerity cuts!

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Too long the public have suffered, it cannot go on. I urge all parties to review all cuts and how they contribute to the rising use of food banks.
The UK is hungry, in a civilised world workers are forced to use food banks due to lack of help. The jobless are hungry due to sanctions and job loss. It's becoming increasingly sad and worrying.

Will the government and cross party members please review before its too late?

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like the UK Government to examine the impact of austerity cuts on the rise of Food Banks, we could accept a petition on that.
