My family experienced real hardship, I know how it feels, so as North East Mayor, I’ll never set a target that leaves any child behind.
Great to talk to @robparsonsna.bsky.social and @anniegouk.bsky.social about our ambitious plans, including our Child Poverty Reduction Unit. Have a listen below!

The annual report from Shelter on the number of people who will be homeless this Christmas is stark reading - at least 354,000 people in England, including 161,500 children, will spend the holidays without a home. I've mapped the local figures below 👇

For #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities, my colleague @richardceault.bsky.social found thousands of disabled people in the UK could be eligible for benefits without even knowing it - with fewer than half claiming in some parts of the country

Thousands of disabled Brits may be eligible for benefits without even knowing it
It is estimated that 24 percent of the population of the UK has a disability, but census estimates show that in many areas less than half claim disability benefits

Some interesting data out today from @centreforcities.bsky.social, suggesting Labour are going to miss their 2029 housebuilding target by at least 388,000 homes. The shortfall is forecast to be largest in big metropolitan areas - I've mapped the figures at a local level below 👇

There were a record 159,380 children living in temporary accommodation in England between April and June 2024.
A total of 5,910 households with children were living in B&Bs, 3,770 of which had been there for over the 6-week limit. Back in 2010, just 160 families stayed over that limit

NEW: The number of homeless children living in temporary accommodation in England has risen AGAIN to 159,380 - up 15% in a year.
Transient lives in temporary homes, defined by uncertainly, doing untold damage.
It is a scandal. But it’s not new. And it’s not going away.
