This weekend marks the two-child limit's 8th birthday, and the point at which 30,000 children will have been pushed into poverty by the policy since the election.

The government must scrap this policy to begin to reduce child poverty.

As this government came to power I and many others urged them to scrap the two-child benefit limit, which would instantly have taken 250,000 kids out of poverty.

Not only did they not do that, their policies will now push a further 250,000 people (inc 50k kids) into poverty. Deeply demoralising.

Stop children suffering, and then balance the books

- Child poverty is a political choice

- Child hunger is a political choice

- Avoidable child mortality is a political choice

- Inequality in school readiness is a political choice

Thatcher would be proud of Labour today

The government's own analysis shows that planned cuts to disability benefits would force 50,000 children into poverty.

I will be voting against this.

No Labour MP should be voting to push children into poverty.

Strong, and very true, statement from some fantastic people pushing for change.

This economic approach is dangerous

Today ONS have published data on alcohol-specific deaths across the UK in 2023. We already knew most of the figures, but there are a few new bits of detail in today's release.

The headline is that alcohol deaths have risen to their highest level on record. Which is obviously pretty bleak.

The US, UK, Germany and other Western nations have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza, eroding the rules-based international order established after WWII.

Yet millions worldwide understand: silence on Palestine is complicity in a system that will treat all of us as disposable.
