Perceptive - he is a technocrat rather than a gut politician. But all skills are needed when dealing with Trump

So many unintended, and indeed intended, consequences of this particularly nasty act.

β€œMost of the expansion of housing supply in the UK since the 1980s has created extra space for wealthy people, rather than new homes for those who need them”.

I still think this could be challenged under Equality legislation. A complete waste of resources.

Yes thanks - we were in London and got the last train north. Just as well as there are no trains this weekend as working on the line!

So this further increases child poverty in areas of poor health. The circle goes on #northeastchildpovertycommission

No-one gets the problems around childcare until they have children. Increasing income whether wages or benefits is clearly a route out of poverty. Increasing the income of mothers massively tackles child poverty #womensbudgetgroup

The importance of social infrastructure can’t be overstated. Health, education, and care services not only support communities but also deliver long-term benefits.

Prioritising social infrastructure should be at the heart of economic policies that aim to promote gender equality. πŸ’œ

Thank you for this @jonathanfreedland This seems the darkest of my 68 years and I’m usually an optimist. Maybe #reasonstobecheerful should be replaced by #reasonstobemorehopeful
