The depressing UK narrative of hate for children that fills the air waves today is a genuinely frightening thing.
Politicians wanting more child poverty and cranking up stigma and demonisation.
We are better than this

What does the Budget mean for the North?

For me, the Chancellor's decision to maintain the highest sustained level of investment in decades is key to our future prosperity.

It means around £30bn per year of additional investment compared to the old plans. That's 12 West Yorkshire trams!

The key message for me is here....
Overall, in times that can often feel gloomy, this is a good Budget for the North.
Investment at record levels, the two child cap removed, fiscal devolution on the way.

Ask yourself what malign motivation led to the deliberate impoverishment of 100000's of children in the UK .
No COVID lane grifting for poor kids under the Tories Getting shot of it is
Doing the right thing

Working with children I can tell you this ending of the appalling Child Cap will transform the lives of many families.
It's the right thing .
Good.

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.

OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty
