In a sign of a continuing cost of living crisis that was building even before the economic crisis that followed the government's mini-budget, a letter signed by more than 3,000 food bank workers will be delivered to Downing Street.
It includes a warning that those who used to donate to food banks are now seeking their help, while some services are facing "breaking point" even as they are braced for increasing demand in the coming months.
Comment: No doubt people's suffering will be leveraged for the benefit of the establishment - such as the introduction of digital IDs or what not - however there will become a point where people lose so much that they realise that they have nothing left to lose and they will join the growing protest movements against those responsible for that suffering: Protests in Athens against soaring cost of living
