🚨 NEW: We have called on @RachelReevesMP to introduce a ‘child lock’ on child-related benefits, similar to the pensions triple lock, in the Autumn budget.
Coupled with scrapping the two-child limit & benefit cap, 400,000 would be lifted out of poverty. bit.ly/48iosED

We've been at Conservative Party Conference, making sure children’s rights are central to international and domestic debates. Engaging MPs on standing up for children in Parliament and pushing for whoever is the new leader to outline a vision that delivers for children.

Globally, children are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis that they did not cause.
Brilliant discussion with @JennyChapman and @DavidTaylor85 with @serauk at Labour Party Conference on turning words into action to make the UK's climate and development ambition a reality

“The Judge concluded that every single loss of life that night was avoidable.”
Perhaps the most horrifying fact to come from the 1700 page Grenfell Tower Inquiry report

Dan Paskins retweeted
🚨 Grenfell Inquiry report 🚨
- "Complacent" govt "well aware" of risk of cladding disaster but failed to act
- "Systematic dishonesty" by product manufacturers "very significant reason" for fire
- "Chronic and systemic" fire safety failures by tower's social landlords

⚠️ Over 14,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.
@keir_starmer @davidlammy, now is not the time for half measures.
The UK must suspend ALL arms to the Government of Israel.
Watch and share our latest film with @oxfamGB.

What would an R&D capability to support government missions look like?
In the spirit of thinking out loud, some suggestions on the role of evidence, data, and innovation methods like challenge prizes and innovation procurement.

Today is the funeral of Bebe King. My thoughts and prayers are with her family through this difficult time.
In honouring their wishes for a private funeral, I encourage anyone who wishes to pay their respects to light a candle in Bebe's memory, and to work for a better future.

This is a very good piece, and I agree with the analysis that talking and thinking about "polycrisis" is actually preventing people from developing effective responses 👇
