In Britain, the cost of living crisis, housing crisis, and still running lives in Yemen

Data shows that one in 50 Londoners are now living in temporary accommodation, and one in 7 UK residents go hungry.

The Trussell Trust released the grim findings, which found 14% of the population struggled to put meals on the table last year, meaning more than 11 million people went hungry due to lack of cash.

British arms sales to Saudi Arabia in 2022:

Saudi Arabia, traditionally the UK’s most significant customer, bought £1.1bn of UK arms, including £964m of missiles and related components, arms of the type used previously by its air force to conduct bombing missions in Yemen.

Disclaimer!: The British government does not declare the true extent of arms sales or the resulting proceeds. The numbers above reflect only the contents of the opac licensing systems, which are provided by the Department of Business and Trade. The British government preserves the right to withhold information from the public, which it is meant to serve. The actual count of the arms sales to the repressive Kingdom of Saudi Arabia might be 10 times higher.
