Tax and benefit measures announced this Parliament so far benefit children the most. This is due to the abolition of the two-child limit, the expansion of Free School Meals to children in families receiving UC in England, and the above-inflation increases to the UC standard

@Juanbg Yes, if you read @dannydorling research, it was the older, wealthier voters in the South East.
@Jes_Squirrell @LancetLydia @OxonJames Farmers voted same as the country bc they’re just people @dannydorling.bsky.social has established the geography and demography that ensured Brexit, and given that most farmers are 60+ that means farm vote was lower than national vote. https://t.co/1PA8S2lZe8

The AIs are all still doing a lot of what they were trained to do, being sycophantic in their replies: “incisively captures the vertigo of AI’s ascent…” to give their users satisfaction. What incentive is built into them not to do that from here on?
I wrote an essay comparing AI to the Maxim gun of the 19th century, then asked four LLMs to produce short ‘rights of reply’: https://t.co/CDXRPNxwI1

When TTIP collapsed and the US failed to get Europe to accept its terms on food, data and corporate regulation, something changed. US corporate interests, foundations and right-wing networks increasingly began backing UK groups who wanted Brexit because a deregulated Britain

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise https://t.co/AfwPdlw1S4

This also proves that voting matters. Labour have done this, the Tories oppose it.

@michaelgove In fact, your influence on Year 6 writing has been dire, because it now consists of writing to a formula of so-called grammatical features such as expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and embedded relative clauses. Content is now secondary or disregarded.

Interesting read from @dannydorling reflecting on the history of inequality in Britain via the BBC's cultural output - especially children's programmes.

The BBC was once an engine of progressive change driving British society to greater equality – Danny Dorling asks what changed, and why?

🚨 NEW: The UK saw the largest increase in relative child income poverty of 37 high-income countries between 2013 and 2023, an increase of 34%, new research from @UNICEF_uk shows. If the two-child limit stays in place, child poverty will continue to rise. Is this really a

Just like the rest of us young people need the chance to make a valued contribution to a great, shared endeavour. We're living in the early years of a climate emergency, so we don't have to spend too much time wondering what that great endeavour is. Private sector ... 🧵
NEW: We are facing a growing crisis of economically and socially dislocated young adults The share of young people who are: - Not working - Not seeking work - Not in education, and - Not raising children is approaching 10% in the UK and US, and has doubled in the UK in a decade

Polls show that 50% of those who voted Labour last year have now deserted us – with the majority turning to parties to the left. Trying to steal votes from Reform is an electoral dead end. 1/3

Failures of successive Governments writ large. Politics based on ideology/flawed priorities have consequences for those who can’t protect themselves. Since 1984, how much public wealth has been transferred to private hands? This is our past, present and future under Westminster.
As things stand, child poverty is on track to reach record highs by 2029-30. By then, we predict that more than one-in-three British children (34 per cent) would be growing up in poverty. That's the highest rate of child poverty we'd have seen since 1961 ⤵️
