If a 21yo rents a single room in London at today's rate, they will have put more than £100,000 into their landlords bank account by the time they reach their 30th birthday. This is why young people don't have mortgage deposits or pension plans. We are other peoples'.

We know the importance of suicide prevention. Just because #WorldSuicidePreventionDay is over, it doesn't mean we should stop talking about it. Be part of the change, encourage open and honest conversations about suicidal feelings, and help us continue the fight to save lives.

Did you know the gender pay gap between men and childfree women is pretty small, the gap widens hugely when you take into account mothers. There is a motherhood gap

They have lost their jobs, some their vocation after many years, their staff have lost their jobs and their families face uncertainty. It’s the necessary stuff of democracy but gloating as part of the Conservative internal conflict is, frankly, repellent.
One of the few bright points of this debacle is to see so many so-called 'one nation' MPs becoming victims of the electoral strategy they advocated so vigorously.

The manifestos make some commitments on housing but it’s vital that MPs in the post-election parliament prioritise urgent changes to end the #HousingEmergency . Our ⁦@Shelter⁩ tool makes it so easy to get your local stats and email your candidates👇 visualisation.polimapper.co.…

On the government’s housing record Lord Cameron said “the planning system is delivering…the houses are now coming through & you can see that in recent figures” BUT this doesn’t reflect our analysis of the figures. House building is falling off a cliff 👉 ft.com/content/6f0acea6-3aeb…
"Do you feel sorry for Rishi Sunak?" @EmmaBarnett asks Lord Cameron and challenges him on the Conservative Party's housing record. The Foreign Secretary admits on #R4Today the party haven't met their housing pledges but outlines some of the progress made.

Really powerful hearing Daniel’s story about living in overcrowding and the impact this is having on his children. We need a long term, national #PlanForHousing aimed at drastically increasing the number of affordable and social homes across the country.
Second speaker is Daniel, who lives in one bedroom flat in east london with a wife and two children

Spoke to a headteacher yesterday who has installed a washing machine in reception because so many parents can't afford to wash clothes. Election campaigns are largely ignoring the massive rise in genuine destitution.
