Adjust taxes to provide UK population statutory food, shelter and healthcare
Adjust taxes so everyone in the UK has their right to food, shelter and healthcare fulfilled, by providing a statutory amount to everyone (i.e. everyone provided a place to live, £30 for food a week per person, and nhs is fully funded to deal with covid backlog), to end poverty and homelessness.
As a developed country, areas of the UK should not be poverty stricken, but unfortunately many UK residents are in poverty with some being homeless. Food, shelter and access to health care is a basic human right, and so by not providing these residents support, we as a country are failing our own people. By adjusting taxes we can ensure everyone is given adequate shelter year round and sufficent money (or vouchers) for food, as well as enough funding for the nhs to function post-covid.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about existing entitlements to essentials such as food and shelter, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
It sounds like what you want is something like a Universal Basic Income, and we have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Introduce a Universal Basic Income in the next Budget: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/575729
Implement an unconditional Universal Basic Income to over 16s in UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/585181
If you want something different to the above petitions you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
