WBG's Ignacia Pinto on @bbc5live.bsky.social just now raising our concerns about further cuts at today's #SpringStatement and how women will be disproportionately affected as 1) those more likely to be disabled 2) more likely to rely on social security and 3) more likely to be carers.

This week, the gov announced plans to tighten eligibility for disability benefits, incl. Personal Independence Payment (PIP)—part of a £5bn cut to disability support.
But what do these changes really mean for disabled people?

A country’s success is measured by how well its children are doing. By that standard, the UK has been failing for 15 years.
Today, 1 in 8 children face material deprivation.
Children are poor when mothers are poor. It's time to take action.

A fact - Affordable childcare boosts the economy by enabling more parents—especially women—to work, increasing tax revenue and reducing poverty.

The Chancellor committed to make this economy work for women. She needs to address the widening gender housing affordability gap to deliver on this promise; an economy in which women can barely afford to rent on their own is not working. @labour-hub.bsky.social labourhub.org.uk/2024/10/30/c...
