This policy leaves workers and their families without a safety net, traps victims of domestic abuse, and denies school meals to impoverished children. It must end.","additional_details":"A social safety net only works if it's there for everyone. NRPF discrimination leaves workers & children homeless, hungry & destitute. By creating insecurity it undermines wages for everyone.\r\n\r\nAt a hearing on 27 May, Stephen Timms MP described the plight of a family left with zero support during COVID-19, and reported at least 100,000 children are affected.\r\n\r\nBoris Johnson was shocked to hear about NRPF. The PM said those \"who live and work here should have support\".\r\n\r\nWe agree.
