  • Shocking figures come from You-gov poll commissioned by the Food Foundation
  • More than one million have lost all their income since lock-down was announced
  • Charity calls for food parcels to be delivered to those who are self-isolating 

By Tom Pyman,

Million of Brits are going without meals in a growing food crisis amid the coronavirus lockdown, according to a charity.

Some 1.5 million people have reported going a whole day without eating since the draconian measures were introduced three weeks ago, because they didn’t have enough in their cupboards and fridges.

The figures, from a You-Gov poll commissioned by the Food Foundation and the FFCC (Food, Farming and Countryside Commission), also show six per cent of the population – more than three million people – have had someone in their household skip dinner.

Furthermore, the research claims that more than a million people said they’ve lost all of their income as a result of the lock-down, while more than a third (43%) who are now earning less think they are not entitled to help from the government.

In response, the foundation is calling on the government to support councils to improve welfare assistance schemes and provide nutritious food parcels for people who are self-isolating while also looking for better home delivery options.

It comes as local authorities are reporting similar stories from the frontline, with Liverpool City Council seeing a 150% rise in emergency grants being given to people without food or money to pay their bills, according to the Guardian.

Its network of food banks has had to step up efforts even more since the lockdown, and is now open for longer hours having given out hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of goods to needy families this week alone.

The council’s deputy mayor, Jane Corbett has echoed much of the Food Foundation’s calls to for more help from central government.

She told the newspaper: ‘The fragility of our current social security system is now being seen in stark relief; extreme pressure on food banks is just one clear example. Our budget has been cut by 63% since 2013.’

Charities are calling for parcels to be made available for those who are self-isolating amid the pandemic

A government spokesperson said: ‘Public safety and making sure that those most at risk from the virus get the support they need is our top priority. People should stay at home, to help protect our NHS and save lives.

‘We’re working with the groceries industry, local government, local resilience and emergency partners to ensure essential items are delivered as soon as possible to the most vulnerable.’

  •   This word ''draconian law'' is often repeated in articles like this one and it is no surprise as who is really in control.

  • Signs of the Times? Time for us all to get back to grass roots. By that I mean we have to take back our right to Freedom. And one of those main rights is to grow our own food, like they did in WW2 when more than 50% of the food was grown in local gardens. Thats also a way to make sure there is no poison in our food.
