Our latest podcast is out. "Perhaps the truest test of our values comes when change asks something personal of us, when it challenges not just our principles but our privileges. It comes down to this: how we treat our most vulnerable children, and whether we're truly willing to build a future that works for all of them." New podcast episode out now - buff.ly/4iCtG2y

As #LondonChallengePovertyWeek begins, I met with @4in10 & members working to improve the lives of children facing poverty in the city. This week draws attention to the fact that 33% of children in London live in poverty, among the highest rates in the country.

"There’s an incredibly important conversation that needs to be had. But it's not about boats... and it certainly isn't about people attacking shops and looting Greggs." Historian David Olusoga talks to @JonnyDymond about the need for a conversation about immigration.

Understandably lots of debate about child poverty this morning – something we as a country should spend much more time focusing on

‘Caring is something I have a duty to talk about.’ Love this - beyond politics & policy care is something we will all likely do in our lives. We need to talk about it (& build systems to help those who do it).
