At 0.45 Guru-Murphy complains about the minister citing facts.https://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1063827283662778373 …
That's incorrect. The 184,000 is an estimate of destitute individuals who were accessing services (i.e. foodbanks) in any one week. This is distinct from the 1.5million estimate, which is for the total population, who may or may not access services in any particular week

No. At any one time a much smaller group have problems. In fact the same people are probably having multiple episodes. JED chose their language carefully (and to decieve). Alston exaggerated wildly.

I haven’t read the report but based on the quote above it looks like the 1.5m includes anyone who has been in need in any given week per year?

It does, but it's also more than that. It's a nationalized, annualized estimate of the total population of destitute individuals derived from a reasonably large survey at 16 sampling regions
