Can you turn that round? Opposite.. doesn't want a job, watches 55' 🇵🇰🏏 takes kids to school fetches kids from school. Sensitive to any comment.

What's the percentage of Muslims that have a job compared to the general UK population?

Yet we chose to accept mass migration from majority Muslim countries...weren't they supposed to all be productive members of society?

Why does an organisation called 'Islamic Relief' exist in the UK? Are Muslim needs separate from everybody else's?

What about Christian Relief and Iran/Iraq/Syrian Christian households poverty rates?

And a lot of them also hate the UK and western civilization/culture.

I think you will see everybody who's poor is suffering never mind trying your pathetic none news story. What a shit news channel

Yet another headline by the press to invoke people to talk about race. I’m sure there are Muslim families who struggle with price increase for energy, fuel and food, but families of all cultures in the uk struggle with the same thing, we’re all in this together unfortunately.

BULLSHIT!

They can always go back and let allah provide for them. They suck the UK social security dry.. what not enough for the grifters

Genuine question why does a religion make you different amongst the poor?

How many people live in each UK MUSLIM household? There’s ur answer.....

Tell them to go and get a job then there’s plenty of them about these days

Is not only Muslims is nothing to do with religion. The world is a mess and poverty has gone up around the world . We are the lucky ones

Get some work rather than claiming benefits..

I had a feeling the comments would be horrific. What the fuck is wrong with some people.

Just like most of the uk then

So division when it comes to religion, what's the actaul percentage of British people not just the Muslims. Same bloody boat. At least with integration most people go to work not 1 person and the other 8 claiming benefits.

Not struggling any other time then just during Ramadan 🤔

All you need to do is look at their driveways. It’s full of 3,4 or 5 cars like Mercedes, BMW and Range Rover?

Yet they all seem to be driving round in high performance cars.

Is there a definition of poverty in the UK now … how does it compare to African or Asian definitions?

What % of those are migrants? 1st gen?

Perhaps the other 50% could help out.

Why is skynews just highlighting Muslims? If effects everyone in the UK. Lazy journalism.

Estimated by an organisation with an agenda to push.

Go to work then

Where’s the welfare money going?

yeah of course maintain a second home in marocco is expensive...

How does that work, if I fasted, I'd eat the food I didn't eat during fasting.

This is a stupid story the whole point of this observance is not eating food. probably won't affect all the grocery store and take away owners

Isn’t it the same for everyone 🤦🏻‍♂️

Shame

Just the same as ever working class family in Britain

I don't care about non-muslims so I really don't care about muslims

What about the rest of the population?

Why are they worried about what their having for breakfast? I prefer porridge or frosted wheats and never had trouble getting hold of them.

God has helped

More divisive headlines to stir racial disharmony, aint this against the law

What a non story , everyone is going t to be hit and you break it down to religion , what a joke of station you are , what about the homeless ? Or is that not worthy of a story ? You have your own agenda ! Report stop trying to divide people .

They no different from all our great British people.

Just muslims? What a joke…

It’s warm in Asia

I don't see why we have to break this down to religion, thanks to this goverment there's millions about to experience real hardship for the 1st time. Don't need to categorise it

Large households..... could be a clue....

Why worry about what to eat when it's a fasting period anyway.

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙

It's tough everywhere but if we look to the time of the first Muslims we have way more even we feel we have nothing. It's sacrifice and we should be without to understand it's true meaning. My prayer is that our faith fills us when our stomach is empty.

And 100% uk citizens can't even afford food or to heat the house or run a car!!

and we care why?

Have they considered breaking slow?

UK weather: Winter's last gasp brings warnings for parts of UKJust a week after temperatures approached 20C (68F), much of the country feels as if it has been thrown back into winter. On the day energy prices rise, we need to turn up the heating because it's freezing. And a large chunk of that rise is 'green' taxes, to pay for global warming. We pay because it's too hot. We pay because it's too cold. It's all a bit Goldilocks if you ask me. Yup, PRICE RISES right when the cold weather is coming back.....how fucking convenient...Scamming bastards
