Those is us who are comfortably off should understand our own quality of life could well improve through tackling inequality. Reduction in crime, happier people, more productive workforce. Higher taxes are rarely put in this context, sadly.

7 years and £200million for the Jay Report. The Tories did NOTHING to implement ANY of the recommendations. As for Starmer…

YOU WERE LITERALLY HOME SEC WHEN THE JAY REPORT INTO GROOMING GANGS WAS PUBLISHED!
YOU WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN REFUSING TO IMPLEMENT ITS 20 RECOMMENDATIONS!
Spare victims the fake sympathy now.
I’ve sat with some of the survivors in Rotherham and Rochdale. I’ve heard first hand their harrowing stories.
I often think about how terrified they must have been when they were being abused.
The failure to stop the industrial scale rape and grooming of young British girls is one of our nation’s biggest scandals. And it continues today.
For the Prime Minister to label anyone concerned with this scandal as ‘far right’ is a grotesque insult to survivors and to millions of decent people across the country.
They aren’t jumping on a ‘bandwagon’ here. They are, rightly, furious with this injustice.
As Home Secretary the Grooming Gangs Taskforce I set up made over 500 arrests in its first year alone. Does the PM think that’s ‘far right’ as well?
These brave women deserve one thing now: Justice.
Not a weak Prime Minister who is running scared from the truth.

I doubt any Troll here who’s trying to smear @Keir_Starmer about decade-old events will be interested to read these pages from my book about his record prosecuting rape gangs. But he’s done more to bring them to justice than Farage, Yaxley-Lennon - or Musk -will ever do.

In June 2023 Professor Jay and the Victims & Survivors Consultative Panel said: “We are deeply disappointed that the Conservative gov has not accepted the full package of recommendations made in the final report. In some instances, the gov has stated that a number of them will be subject to consultations, despite the extensive research & evidence-taking which the Inquiry carried out over 7 years’

Chaos at Euston again and across the railways this weekend.
Sorting this mess out needs to be a top-level priority for the Government in 2025 - starting on day one in the New Year.
People are truly fed up with it and it is damaging the economy.

Wallace aside, what I find moving about #MasterChefTheProfessionals is how chefs who have found their way to cooking in so many ways, sometimes unconventionally, can find out how really good they are.
Surely someone is making a jumper with #MiddleAgedWomanOfACertainAge ? I want one on my Christmas list.

Here we go: clear research evidence that Sure Start impacted long-term on life chances in this country. Many parallels with Head Start in the US. It took Gove weeks to close the programme with irreparable damage. Basically he didn’t have a clue about EY😞 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

This is the West Coast Main Line, the UK's primary route from London to Scotland and the north of England.
Without HS2, there are no plans for climate resilient sustainable infrastructure linking the UK north-south into the middle of the century.

Kemi Badenoch argues partygate was overblown. But the public doesn’t agree.
In the report below we analysed the electoral shocks that cost the Tories their poll lead.
Partygate plummeted them below Labour for first time under Johnson. Overlooking that won’t help Tories rebuild.

BREAKING NEWS:
Legendary actor Harrison Ford has OFFICIALLY endorsed Kamala Harris in an awesome video:
“I’ve been voting for 64 years.
Never really wanted to talk about it very much but when dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying “for God sake don't do this again” — you have to pay attention.
The truth is this Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas and then as we have done for centuries.”
Drop a 💙 if you agree and appreciate Harrison Ford for speaking out!!
