The 2-child limit is a policy which unfairly targets vulnerable families @RishiSunak did you know that 50% of families impacted are single parents? Or that 20% of households have at least 1 disabled child? @TheSun #AllKidsCount thesun.co.uk/news/27445505/….
2 days after this piece was aired rishi sunak has announced a crackdown on disability benefits, with a focus on mental health. it’s not sick note culture, it’s a mental health crisis, with a failing NHS that has nearly 2 million people waiting for mental health services.

Sophie Balmer shared her story in the end word for the CoTN poverty report, released today. We do hope you will read through the report, which offers solutions for how we can reduce the impact of poverty on millions of children, each with their own stories and experiences
This young lady, Sophie, who shared her experiences of growing up in poverty is an inspiration. ‘Let go of misconceptions of poverty- that’s how people go unnoticed’. @teesvalleyed @ChildoftheNort1

Places like Byker (discussed in this article) have multiple food banks, community groceries, food pantries etc. - and it's still not enough to meet the need. We need justice, not charity - where people have enough income to afford to buy their essentials.

@sophiebalmer7 Keeping telling your story, Sophie - it’s so important 💪
Sophie is such a strong voice for young people experiencing disadvantage and poverty, and a brilliant advocate for understanding and change 👏
I had the absolute privilege of featuring on @BBCLookNorth earlier this month following on from my testimony in @ChildoftheNort1 report! I was able to spread awareness of the long term effects of poverty, which is often completely overlooked but affects young adults like myself
Sophie so brilliantly connects the multitude of impacts of child poverty; from hunger, to stigma and shame, to housing, to development and educational opportunities. There are millions of children and young people who have been failed by successive governments. It can't go on.

Rarely has a woman so plainly and eloquently squished a posh man in a knitted eggcup jumper trying to claim the world has gone mad with wokeness. The perfect clip to watch with your cup of cocoa this evening. Delightful.
