Labour MP Jess Phillips has launched a scathing attack on the government, condemning its treatment of vulnerable individuals as "disgraceful" and "inhumane." Speaking out against the conditions faced by those seeking support in Whitehall, Phillips highlighted systemic failures within the Home Office.
Government Under Fire
Phillips, known for her vocal advocacy on social issues, described how vulnerable people are being left without adequate assistance, often facing bureaucratic delays and substandard living conditions. She accused ministers of turning a blind eye to the crisis, despite repeated warnings.
Call for Immediate Action
The MP demanded urgent reforms, stressing that the current system is "broken" and in desperate need of overhaul. "People are suffering needlessly," she said, urging the government to prioritise human dignity over political point-scoring.
Her comments come amid growing scrutiny of Whitehall's handling of social welfare cases, with campaigners echoing her calls for accountability.
