🚨NEW: Sickness benefit claims have hit 3k per day, with costs soaring and the potential of millions wasted. New CSJ analysis finds inactive claimants could still receive £1,000s more than post-tax earnings even after Govt reform. We're calling for a new approach to welfare👇

Labour’s welfare reforms are all pain and no gain @csjthinktank @FraserNelson

There are plenty of ways to get people into work but this unimaginative plan will make an unfair benefit system worse

A huge thank you to @GarethSouthgate for keeping this agenda top of the pile. We have a crisis across our young men right now, and talking about it openly is the first step to solving it together. We @csjthinktank won’t stop.

Young men are increasingly turning to "callous, manipulative and toxic" influencers as role models, Sir Gareth Southgate says.

Fascinating report. The “lost boys” will be one of the biggest themes in next ten years IMO.
Young women are now consistently earning more than their male counterparts for the first time, according to a report that warns of a social “crisis” gripping young men ⬇️ https://t.co/cvIyD0WPfb

Hundreds of front line charities have asked @csjthinktank to look deeper into the plight of boys in the U.K., and results are revealed today in @thetimes. Findings should begin a new chapter for policy makers in how they see men- not as problems, but as wasted potential.

A prize of huge additional investment for social projects and programs is there for Government if it is focused and brave. Every minister should be looking to unlock this- and this new @csjthinktank report shows how.
🚨 Britain’s small charities could benefit from a goldmine of up to £11bn if govt + philanthropists join forces❗️ 🧵Our new report, Supercharging Philanthropy, shows clear govt leadership would boost philanthropy + frontline services across the UK 📈 🔗 https://t.co/45JnGfDX02

Totally agree @iainmartin1, and see the @csjthinktank report, Two Nations, for just how damaging lockdown was… https://t.co/p06kHEjo9E
One of the weirdest aspects of the Budget, and much of the commentary since, has been how little the pandemic even gets mentioned. The country spent somewhere between £310bn and £410bn on its response, according to the @commonslibrary …

Whilst so much SW1 attention goes on political theatre, there remains a school absence epidemic. 165,000 ghost children, at last count. This is a great step to change this from @bphillipsonMP, based on @csjthinktank charity award winner work
Children will only benefit from our drive for high & rising standards if they are in school. That's why tackling the national epidemic of absence is non-negotiable. Labour is gripping this generational challenge and today, we begin to turn the tide. https://t.co/jY5fnruWS5

Is this a parody account?
Read the replies. Smell the coffee @bbclaurak - be far better if he was in a court of law facing charges of corruption and misconduct in public office. Repeat offender.

No one in the U.K. has got a grip on school attendance. @csjthinktank new report has shown how a third of all Scottish pupils are persistently absent — 50% higher than England. All governments must wake up to this, and wake up now.
