Britain's Child Poverty Epidemic, a special issue guest edited by @GordonBrown Inside: 🔴 @David_Tennant on community, faith and inequality 🔴 @Aiannucci on the death of nuance 🔴 Terri White on our schools' lost children 🔴 @KitdeWaal on the misery of growing up cold 🔴

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

#AIDCUTS STATEMENT: Today Govt set out an extremely worrying retreat from tackling poverty. Baroness Chapman said work to develop economies is a priority but decimating support for education and girls' equality will hold back this aspiration. Details ⬇️ https://t.co/LlHpIYJwxf

Very important that the ONE campaign is questioning the legality of the UK aid cuts. The legislation is there for a reason, and shouldn't be flouted for political reasons. Rule of law matters. And the 65 million people (at least) whose lives will be upturned by the cuts matter.

STATEMENT: “The grim reality of the aid cuts is emerging as the UK signals it is looking to backtrack on promises it has already made to the world's poorest people." Richard Watts, Senior Adviser on Development Finance at Save the Children https://t.co/B3MoPMgzHU

UK aid cuts will devastate lives across the world. ❗ 55 million people will be deprived of aid. ❗ Women and girls will suffer the most. ❗ 12 million people will be without access to clean water or sanitation. https://t.co/naPp0VfDfP

#AidCuts: "There should be global moral outrage that the decisions made by powerful people in other countries have led to child deaths in just a matter of weeks." - Christopher Nyamandi, Save the Children's country director in #SouthSudan https://t.co/aIRQa5GTZ9

In Gaza, “children are dying en masse,” Shaima Al-Obaidi of @savechildrenuk tells @biannagolodryga. “I cannot begin to describe the level of need here… I am terrified.”

Under the Tories, Britain spent 28% of our aid budget on asylum hotels — an egregious waste of taxpayers' money and a clear misuse of funds intended to tackle global poverty. I'm pleased this government is committed to speeding up asylum processing and reducing reliance on hotel

The UK must not be an #AllyToAtrocities @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy. Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza shows that impunity breeds further atrocities. The UK must end its complicity once and for all. Go to https://t.co/1eaVBO3pt0 to find out more.

The realities of cuts to programmes providing life saving support for children are devastating. How awful that the UK will add to this misery through #ukaid cuts. #cutsthatkill

#UKaid cuts ~ my interview with @SkyNews earlier this week @savechildrenuk we are calling on PM @Keir_Starmer to act in the UK's national interest and in the interests of vulnerable children around the world: reverse the aid cut now! https://t.co/VvVnlonBx5

Where is Ukraine’s missing money? Have you seen it? Because we haven’t—and neither have the children of Ukraine. @SkySportsNews and @SkyKaveh are asking the question—so are we. @DavidLammy and the UK Government must release the Chelsea Fund now. RT to demand action.

Minister of State for Development, Anneliese Dodds, has resigned in response to the UK Gov slashing international aid to historic lows. As conflict, climate change, and poverty are devastating lives, these cuts put the world’s most vulnerable at even greater risk. #AidCuts

As we marked 3 years of conflict, Arsenii, a Young Ukrainian Peacemaker, brought the impact of the war on children in directly to Parliament. In a meeting with MP @RNBlake they spoke about the need for more education support and the release of the #UkrainesMissingBillions.

'I don't think the Government is being entirely straight forward with the British people' Moazzam Malik from Save the Children spoke to #BBCBreakfast after Keir Starmer announced billions of pounds would be cut from the international aid budget to increase spending on defence to

Earlier today the government announced a cut to the UK aid budget to fund an increase in defence spending. 12 years ago, we released this video to show how aid protects children in the toughest situations. Now, the message is more important than ever.

Totally stunned. At a time when the UK needs to step up for the world's most vulnerable, it's stepping back. The failure to see how important aid is for global & national security is galling. We need defence and development. They're mutuallty reinforcing, not a zero sum game.

Quick reminder from @ONECampaign where UK taxpayers' money goes - and why cutting aid to increase defence spending won't balance the books, it will just cost lives

“Any suggestions to follow in the US’s footsteps and cut development and humanitarian spending to fund defence spending would be reckless, short-sighted and would in fact undermine the UK’s own security interests.” - @romilly_bond - hear, hear.
