If true, great... Now rejoin Erasmus, because young people deserve every opportunity… And then simply rejoin the European Union, because Britain and Europe belong together ! theguardian.com/world/2023/s…

Brilliant to see evidence from both @Dr_KatyJones and @FCChristie @mmu_decentwork cited in this excellent report 👋 @mcrmetropolis @MMU_Research
Employment growth is set to halve in next decade as labour & skills shortages bite. New analysis from the Commission on the Future of Employment Support shows major reforms are needed to avoid weaker jobs growth contributing to higher inflation & falling living standards. 1/4

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/c… cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/a… snopes.com/news/2023/03/2… statesman.com/story/news/pol…

Excellent speech packed with great policies from @Keir_Starmer Labour is a government in waiting #Lab22
Thrilled to see sensible climate policy EVERYWHERE in @Keir_Starmer’s Conference Speech. Just Transition for workers, insulation to lower bills, British power for energy security, redistribution. 💚💚💚 Let’s go! #Lab22 #LabourConference22

After announcing he’ll remove restrictions on banker’s pay, the Chancellor says that 120,000 more people on Universal Credit must "take active steps to seek more and better-paid work, or face having their benefits reduced". Brutal, structural violence against women +children.

The Bank of England has put interest rates up to try to slow the economy down. Tonorrow the Government will cut taxes to try to speed the economy up. Stagflation is tough to manage, but I'm not sure the breakdown of monetary-fiscal policy coordination is in anyone's interests.

8/ The coming battle must be against poverty, not against the poor. You cannot rely on a heartless government having a change of heart, but concerted action by the public can force a change of mind. The time for action is now. Please sign the petition. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Uni…
