The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Really pleased that the Labour Government is bringing back maintenance grants.
This will make a huge difference for young people across London, especially as many have told me they have had to work 2 jobs just to afford to live while studying.

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade.
It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history.
Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

So not crewed entirely by little Englanders like Georgina Foster how upsetting for her
Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

A great initiative- but our schools should not really need air filters we all deserve clean air
I want every child in London to breathe clean air in their school.
St Mary’s Primary in Battersea is one of more than 200 schools receiving an air quality filter as part of my new initiative. Brilliant to see first-hand how they’re helping to protect young Londoners' health.
