Really disappointing that the recovery in living standards that was proceeding quite well after 2012 ground to a complete halt last year. A direct result of higher inflation induced by the post referendum fall in value of the pound.
After 5 years of reasonable post-recession income growth, the latest data show median income growth stalled in 2017–18, for only the 4th time in the last 30 years.

We're delighted that the government have responded to our campaign to secure debt respite for people in #mentalhealth crisis. Great to see @HMTreasury minister @JohnGlenUK highlighting some of the ways the #BreathingSpace scheme will help people with #mentalhealth problems:

If you wanted to give £115 a week or £6000 a year to a group of UK people, would you choose those earning £80,000? That is what @BorisJohnson proposes. I assume his advisers have road tested it with Tory leadership selectorate of Conservative members and it is popular. But...

Really important lesson across so much of policy. Government can make more difference in the long run than many imagine; but it takes time and consistency. A continual stream of short run announcements and changes is useless at best and likely counterproductive.
Thoughtful piece by @financialtimes editorial board citing our #SureStart work: "It is a reminder that policy, sustained over the long term, can address seemingly intractable inequalities, although it can be expensive" -> The UK needs to think long term tinyurl.com/y3wlt6lp

It is unsustainable because revenues from council tax and business rates can't keep up with demands from social care. Local government will need new revenue streams, either from central government or new local taxes, to stay solvent.

Our new report shows fall of one fifth in council spending. Social care spending relatively protected so many elements of spending down by 40% or more ifs.org.uk/publications/1413…

This chart along with many others shows strong social class gradient. It’s not just the rich different from the poor. Each step up the income/social class ladder is a step up the educational attainment ladder. You see just the same for health outcomes.
Great to see this chart we created back in 2010 using cohort data is still v. relevant for policy today - gaps start early and widen across schooling years - fantastic talks by @AnnaVignoles @JoBlanden #lifechances

Ironically, Barr released this report now to let it be lost in our vacations and holy days, but I think it is perfect. This is the time we get with family, and we examine our deepest articles of faith. I argue it is time to do the same about our politics.
