Our Children, Our Future: Tackling Child Poverty Strategy document setting out the government’s ambitious decade long mission to tackle the drivers of child poverty across the UK.

Proud to unveil the Child Poverty Strategy.

Child poverty is a scourge I grew up with, it is a scourge I want to end.

This government will drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament. This is how we get there.

And have you noticed a big uptick in β€œbenefits” stories at the moment?

Probably completely unrelated(πŸ€”) to the fact we’ve had the longest run with no small boat crossings for 2 years, and the latest immigration stats are down at pre-pandemic levels…

They’ve gotta find a scapegoat somewhereπŸ™„

Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands to boycott Eurovision 2026 as Israel cleared to compete Decision not to hold vote on Israel’s participation comes in spite of several broadcasters calling for its exclusion

Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Slovenia to boycott Eurovision.

65% voted in favour of changes to public voting system to be enough to address disquiet over Israeli "public" support. So there was no vote on opposition on the grounds of war in Gaza

MS NOW: Are you getting any support from Republican colleagues saying this kind of rhetoric isn't okay?

ILHAN OMAR: No. And it isn't surprising because the Republicans have bent the knee. They've welcomed his disgusting rhetoric. I'm not expecting any of them to develop a backbone now.

The commonality of both Signalgate and 'kill em all' is that he's an unqualified drunk who plays with people's lives out of an emotional need to look cool and manly in front of the SOF guys he never joined when he served.

Exactly. This is the problem with FPTP. Lurching from one extreme to the other. PR would solve this problem. Coalitions mean more continuity.
