I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

An impactful chart from @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social, showing the UK's homelessness crisis in comparison to other OECD countries.
In London specifically, rough sleeping has more than *tripled* since 2010
And a record 183,000 Londoners are in temporary accommodation - equivalent to one in 50 Londoners

In 2021, we made a £4.8m grant to Citizens UK to campaign to make London a Living Wage City. The impact has been profound. Pay increases have tripled - an extra £228m in wages for low income Londoners.
The Living Wage continues to be one of the most powerful tools for tackling poverty in London.

Govt has committed to £3bn cuts to health/disability benefits. But targeting arbitrary savings (set by previous Govt) won't lead to effective reforms that unlock work, and risks deeper hardship for disabled people.

That’s more than half a million children, going without basics & going to school or bed hungry – in one of the wealthiest cities in the world.
Ending the two child limit would help hundreds of thousands of children.
