The first 48 weeks are more important than the next 48 years for development. We urgently need to fund early childhood development. #actforearlyyears @theirworld @UNICEF @UNESCO @SesameWorkshop @ECDAction
“The wilful destruction of Sure Start and the reductions of children’s benefits after 2010 has set back opportunities for millions of children’s futures. That’s why our country desperately needs a new Sure Start.” theguardian.com/education/2024…
A must read from former PM @GordonBrown in Times today on Sunak’s desperately dangerous intentions for ECHR. “Rishi Sunak has come closer than ever to advocating a departure from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Last week he dismissed as “foreign” the institution…

My condolences to Lindsay and all the family on the passing of Doug Hoyle. RIP
Sad to see the passing of my old friend Doug Hoyle, an effective trade union leader and distinguished member of parliament committed to supporting justice and always with wise advice and optimism whom it it was a joy to work with. My conferences to Lindsay and all the family.

Britain is stuck in a doom loop of poverty. With will and ingenuity, communities, charities, companies and government could work together to raise billions and rescue millions of people. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I am saddened by the death of Richard Taylor, a very effective and principled campaigner for justice following the tragedy of his son Damilola's death. He will be greatly missed.
The international community must help find the over 280 students recently kidnapped in Nigeria and support efforts to make schools more secure. It is the only way to realise the promise of a high quality education for all. Safety must come first. project-syndicate.org/commentary/nig…
The way we govern will have to be radically transformed – and government put on a war footing – if Britain is to break free from the vicious low growth, low productivity, and low wage cycle that has seen annual growth halve in the last decade. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
If in the coming years we are to overcome the divisions that are creating a fractured world we need the strong leadership at the IMF that Kristalina Georgieva provides and I am sure she is the right person to take the IMF forward. reuters.com/world/imfs-geo…
Shocked by the recent abduction of Nigerian schoolchildren by Boko Haram. My thoughts are with their families. We need urgent action to both secure the pupils’ release from captivity and create safer schools with proper fencing, telecommunication links and security alarms.

It is with great sorrow that I have to announce that my beloved father, Lord Doug Hoyle, passed away peacefully at home late last night with his family by his side. The whole family are devastated.
Yesterday social security got a cost-of-living increase. But after a decade and a half of Tory rule, look at the consequences all around us. @UKLabour has a plan to help put money in pockets and for children to have the childhood they deserve.
