🚨As they should. Because the top 0.1% earn more than the entire bottom 55% combined. TAX THEM MORE. [@TheIFS]

Our #Lab25 event “Taxing the Super Rich: Why, how and what next?” with @PatMillsUK was a great success! Chaired by Noah Law MP, we heard from @nicolaasmith of @The_TUC, @holliewright_ of @NEF, Phil White of PMUK and our Director @faizashaheen! #TaxTheSuperRich!

Families *are* placed out of borough, almost half the time (46%) to the detriment of kids' educational attainment and wellbeing + often not followed up on. There are cases of offered TA being in the North or Midlands with under 24hrs notice for accepting. Below from @CommonsHCLG.

incredible what can happen when working class young people in this country are actually given access to the arts

Louise Haigh: The fiscal straitjacket facing Labour must be broken.This government was elected to transform the country. We can only do that by rewriting the rules that bind us. @LouHaigh

Another iconic cricket venue went the history books as Swansea's St Helen's ground staged its final game today when Swansea 2nd XI faced Pontardawe. The venue, which has staged more Glamorgan matches than any other, will be developed as a rugby stadium for the Ospreys. Perhaps

Yeah wokeness did this and totally not extortion by private contractors out for a profit...

New research from NEF published today highlights the detrimental physical and mental health impacts of the temporary accommodation crisis on children. @holliewright_ shares the findings & what councils can do to better support children for @insidehousing

An absolute HORRIFIC statistic.

We need big, big change (mainly us seeing that council housing revolution we've been promised!) but there's a lot that can be done by local authorities in the mean time to make sure we're not scarring a generation of children. See my full report here @NEF

Over half of children in TA have missed school days; >1 in 3 of those missed over a month of schooling. TA landlords are ripping off local authorities for one-room properties that are often damp, infested, cold, and overcrowded.

If they're not dying, they're trapped in TA for years - four fifths of families in London are staying over a year. Some have been there a decade. Children are coming out of this socially disadvantaged, physically stunted, developmentally behind, and with severe mental impacts.

Coverage of my new report on children in temporary accommodation from @BBCLondonNews . 'One classroom worth' is a conservative underestimate, to put into perspective what we're dealing with. So much needs to be done - children are dying in TA, nearly 80 last year.

Sorry to wang on about Adolescent but it’s mental how many people there were who point blank refused to accept that British teenage boys are hurting, raping and murdering British teenage girls

For my birthday you should read me complaining about data deserts and cutting Reeves (some, small) slack 🤫 https://t.co/hPLcp2OQU6

i'm a yimby and i believe the only way to resolve the housing crisis is to grant the market - which has so far proved such an amazing corrective against asset value inflation - access to any and all public space

The Renters' Rights Bill is expected to kick in early next year - but how will abolishing Section 21 even be enforced? Me @abioconnor_+@CJaccarini looked into how the PRS database must be used to strengthen tenants' rights and ensure council capacity is optimised. Read below👇

“Without radical ideas from the left – not reframed centrist tweaks – people will look elsewhere. Policy and narrative overhaul rooted in custodianship of communities, not profit. Economic sovereignty for towns, public ownership of generational uplift.”

Excellent, useful examination by @holliewright in @NewStatesman of the claims that millionaires are deserting Britain. Spoiler: they aren't. (link below)
