Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage)
Denmark 2.4%
Finland 3.2%
Norway 3.6%
Sweden 3.6%
The UK 32.1%
All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

Because far too many NHS experts that I trust — people like @doctoroxford.bsky.social and @paulapeters19.bsky.social — oppose the #AssistedDyingBill, I cannot support it. Instead, it’s time for a referendum on social care, palliative care, and this issue as well, when it’s ready.

This Friday, MPs will debate Kim Leadbeater's #AssistedDyingBill.
My new @theosthinktank.bsky.social report argues:
- Choice does not = dignity
- Where AD has been legalised, it gets expanded to people who aren't dying
- We should invest in palliative care, not #AssistedDying.
