Good short analysis of what is going on in the state of Denmark...
(Given Danish politics' sudden salience to internal Labour squabbles)
Luke Tryl@LukeTryl
Some muddled electoral timelines on Denmark and Social Democrats immigration reforms. Suggesting their poor result in this election shows that their more control policies didn’t help and possibly hurt them & the left can’t win on them. But that misses a whole election in between

🚨NEW: Data just released shows that the number of pupils missing more than half of classes hit an annual record high last year.
An unprecedented 176,000 kids were severely absent in 2024/25 - 193% higher than pre-pandemic levels.
If we are to save these children from the lifelong consequences of missing school, we must urgently tackle the root causes of the absence crisis.

@DanielJLilley There's no other way to describe the moment of pure connection I experienced between my mind, the page, and the intricacies of the updated material deprivation questionnaire in the 2023/24 Family Resource Survey...

@BenNebGregg Never thought I’d read you talking about entering “flow state”

Me: *crying* You can't just call everything 'the Beveridge report' when it has zero links to his actual work
Labour MP: *point at an apple* Beveridge report. *points at a bird* Beveridge report. *points at the sky* also Beveridge. *points into the void* Be-ve-ridge.

Setting aside the report's recommendations, I am, as a researcher in welfare policy, begging Labour politicians to stop calling completely tangential reports 'The Beveridge report for X.' Leave him in peace. Today's welfare state already differs substantially from his vision.

Several cabinet ministers and potential leadership contenders are understood to have looked at the work. Full report to be put into the ether after May local elex 👀 news.sky.com/story/cabinet-…

I believe this is why @JoshNicholson50 (jokingly) regularly accuses me of "papism". As an act of resistance against Americanisation.

The collapse of the Prostant/Roman divide and its replacement with undifferentiated cultural Christianity in the UK is a very obvious sign of the Americanisation of UK discourse.

Newcastle is, I am firmly convinced, one of Britain's most underrated cities. Besides a few modernist aberrations, the centre is remarkably beautiful and the marina delightful. That's before you get to the people, the castle, the history, or the rest of Northumbria!

💷This Debt Awareness Week, we’ve launched Money Secrets: a vital project to understand people’s behaviours around debt and how we can help them out of it 🤝
A word from our partners👇

Pleased to launch @csjthinktank's project, Money Secrets! We'll be exploring how Brits understand their finances and debts, and what role - if any - policy has in helping them manage them better.
Sadly was told to remove several extra Dickens references for 'not being relevant'

⚠️People are at their most financially vulnerable this decade, as @lowellfvi shows. Problem debt is trapping people in poverty, with many struggling to talk openly about it. Our project, Money Secrets, will open the lid on how Brits deal with their debts and how we can help💵

Really pleased to see resurfacing works completed on Vorley Road in Archway!
In our recent Budget @IslingtonLabour pledged an additional £4 million into fixing our roads. #OnYourSide

This isn't even @JoshNicholson50's job. The Comms team just filmed him in his free time, marching into vape shops and American candy stores demanding to see their tax records. Please fill out the call for evidence to give him something to do!

We've launched a campaign to fix Britain’s broken high streets🛣️ But we need your help. Get involved👇

@Harrybrads01 @ruby_dunn01 Didn't put out the nice bit about the flowers I bought my mum though...

@ruby_dunn01 @BenNebGregg We put out what they say. Journalistic integrity so important😎

Tried to make a joke for this and looked like such an arse then tried to convince the Comms team not to put it in, but they did. Harry continues his long and subtle campaign to undermine me at every turn...
(Sorry mum, love you and know you would actually want time with us!)
