Today is #CarersRightsDay – our #WomanoftheNorth report released this year shows that northern women contribute £10bn of unpaid care to the UK economy each year. This is £2bn a year more than if they provided the national average of unpaid care.

Britain and France have been successful in reducing the number people entering the UK using a vehicle.

How to get your child a bursary to a top private school? Or how to create a national education system that gives *every single child* in the UK a good start in life? Which of these challenges we choose to crack determines the future of social equity in the UK.
Surindar Dhesi retweeted
Fundamentally, those in the most deprived areas have fared worst by *every* measure.
This is cos of more exposure, poor working & housing conditions, poorer health, poor communication & community involvement and much else.
As @ProfBambra says, we need wholsesale change. 8/8

The UK government's ruthless and reckless policies that "go for growth” require us all to ask the essential questions that Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - set out decades ago. So join me in answering these questions... 1/n
