This sentence jumped out at me:
“Certainly, the Ministers listening to SAGE advice also had views that were steeped in a complex mix of laissez-faire individualism and anti-welfarism.”
To be led by a government of deeply unserious dilettantes at such a time was a catastrophe

I worked promoting the rights of the child
I felt childhood was valuable as itself; it wasn’t merely a preparation for something else
So argued we should strive to make childhoods as happy as possible (& that eradicating child poverty was fundamental)

Doughty Street Chambers’ response to proposals to curtail trial by jury
