Government recognition of Professor Alston's report on poverty in the UK
In early 2018, UN Special Rapporteur for Extreme Poverty and Human Rights Professor Philip Alston reported that:
- 14 million people, a fifth of the population, live in poverty.
- 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials.
So far, the government has done nothing to act...
... On this, yet the government blatantly denies the report in it's entirety.
This needs to change. If things are to change, however, the government should accept that they are at least partly responsible for these figures. Furthermore, they should accept the full report by Prof. Alston, and publicly announce that they will be taking steps to turn this around.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
