There are a lot of myths about food banks, but the truth is that many people are increasingly having to turn to them just to put food on the table, including many in work.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
For many food poverty is the product of a toxic combination of low wages, austerity economics, spiralling food prices and lengthy delays to benefit payments, all of which should concern us.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Most people who rely on food banks are there through no fault of their own.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
All too easily I have had people dismiss food poverty as an affliction of the workless and idle, insinuating that it is a way of life only for those who choose it. Yet the reality couldn't be more different.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
In 2008/9 26,000 people in the U.K. relied on emergency food aid from a foodbank; which was 26,000 too many.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
The difference between the BNP and Labour is that the BNP was always a fringe party, never a contender for power.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
I left the Labour Party because I consider it a racist endeavour. I could no longer, in good faith, knock on doors and say vote for me, and by extension get Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Since I was first elected to Parliament in 2010, I have witnessed appalling attacks on Jewish people, including my fellow MPs.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We need to do more to raise awareness of perinatal mental health illness and address the stigma that still surrounds it in our society.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
It's absolutely crucial that we look at mental health not just through the prism of health but in a cross-cutting way.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
The technological revolution has the potential to liberate us or enslave us, and the road we take will depend on our politics.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
I've been working to see that mental health is raised in both oral and written question sessions in parliament.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We need to be open about mental illness, and demand the mental health services we need.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
The cruel realities of austerity and Brexit mean that life is chaotic, expensive and the road ahead is littered with obstacles.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
As Britain prepares to leave the E.U., we need to become more efficient as an economy. We need everyone contributing to our collective prosperity, in every part of the country. We simply cannot afford to waste the potential of a generation because of mental ill-health.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We will not give up the fight to ensure that mental health is the given the priority it needs and deserves.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Our climate is changing. The causes are man-made. And we are already feeling the effects.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
People are sick of the false choice between the established political parties who take voters for granted.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Many people with mental illness suffer in silence, afraid to seek help for fear of victimisation.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
I have observed and taken part in some mental health first aid training, and I have met many mental health first aiders, and I am convinced that even a few hours' training can make a real difference.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
I ultimately joined the Labour Party and became an MP because the country and my constituents deserve a Labour government.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
When I was selected as a Labour council candidate in 2009, people publicly challenged how I could possibly represent anyone from the Bengali community because of my faith and since my selection and election as the member of parliament for Liverpool, Wavertree, I have received a torrent of anti-Semitic abuse.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Many feel the need to hide their problems from their school friends, work colleagues and even members of their own family.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
David Cameron needs to get his head out of the sand. He and his colleagues need to see what poverty is really like.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
It is true that food banks are a sign that the British retain their altruistic instincts. I support my local food banks whenever and however I can. But I am deeply concerned about their normalisation.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We remain a country where a young person's chance of fulfilling their potential rests on the vagaries of where they were born and what their parents do, rather than their innate talent and ambition.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We need employers to have an open mind about people with mental illness, and be willing to employ people, with the right support.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Advertising has moved online, with the rise of the 'advergame.' These are compelling online games, often aimed at the under-15s, designed to promote a high-fat or high-sugar food or drink. Advergames are advertising disguised as entertainment. If they didn't work, the food and drink industry wouldn't be investing in them.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Until we fix the deep-rooted problems of economic inequality, we cannot expect young people to experience the best childhood and adolescence.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Time to Talk is all about tackling taboos and getting the nation talking about mental health.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
For many people who face anxieties, depression, trauma or grief that dominate their lives, a vital source of support may be a counsellor or psychotherapist.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We have to acknowledge that it goes both ways and that there's many social factors which will impact negatively, as well as positively, on mental health.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
I want to be part of something that can offer British people something to vote for.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
Young people need the serenity that comes from a stable home, safe streets, regular income, opportunities for travel and study, affordable transport, and a real stake in the future.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We should aim for every workplace to be a place which encourages good mental health.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
We have ways to protect the public when free speech crosses over in hate speech.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
When the physical threat of coronavirus subsides, as it surely will, we must address the impact to our mental health.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
In the Independent Group, we have the seeds of a new political movement that can reinvent our broken politics and provide a home to people who are politically homeless.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
It looks like caring for the most vulnerable in our society could be yet another casualty of Brexit, with over-stretched and potentially unsafe care services and a reduction in female employment another unforeseen consequence.
Quote by -Luciana Berger
The nature of most Covid-19 deaths, in hospital or a care home away from family and friends, has made it worse for the people they leave behind. In the absence of the traditional rites and rituals of funeral and mourning - the opportunity to just share a hug - the process of bereavement has been made even harder to bear.
