We are appalled by the Prime Minister’s comments on child detention. Immigration detention is incredibly traumatic for children and causes psychological and developmental harm. The UK government must put the best interests of children first. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

It's #CarersRightsDay and the theme this year is the #CostOfCaring? What has caring cost you? Physically, emotionally, health and wellbeing, financially, relationships, friendships, career, jobs... Do let us know below if you feel able.

Against a backdrop of spiralling costs, the Government has yet to confirm it will increase benefits in-line with inflation. We're urging @RishiSunak to stick to his word, and keep to this commitment.
3⃣ in 4⃣ British kids think the UK government need to take more action on #ClimateChange and inequality. We visited @JamesCleverly's constituency to ask him to listen to children & protect their futures. Join #GenerationHope sign our petition 👇 bit.ly/3DLXJm8

The Chancellor just promised that his priority will always be the most vulnerable. Low-income families need reassurance now that benefits will rise in with inflation. Anything less will signal that the poorest children and families will pay for this most costly of gvmt mistakes.

Right - the news here is that u-turn is limited to corporation tax. So over half of tax cuts are still going ahead. What does this mean? £20-40bn of spending cuts still to come

If @KwasiKwarteng does not increase benefits in line with #inflation a working family with two kids will lose out on £63 a month. Families don't have this money to lose. We're asking the UK government to keep their word to support the poorest children. #CostOfLivingCrisis

Affected by poverty, war & emigration, young people whose education is in crisis spoke directly - via hologram - to world leaders at the historic #TransformingEducation summit in New York. Through telling their stories they ask “Now that you know me, will you #LetMeLearn?”

The Prime Minister said she would deliver on the #CostOfLivingCrisis. Instead, the UK government has delivered tax-cuts to help the richest and a hammer-blow to low-income families. STATEMENT: rb.gy/vedjpn
