It was a great discussion @BBCWomansHour with a participant from @changing_r @UniOfYork @ruthpatrick0 @UoY_SBS around the budget's impact to women across the UK
❓How will Labour’s first budget in 14 years affect women? And does having a female chancellor make a difference?
@itsanitarani finds out from @MehreenKhn from The Times, Dr @sararsreis from Women’s Budget Group and Jo, a participant of @changing_r.

I really hope that the @doleanimators new film will be widely watched and shared. I also hope that we will see compassion and a new direction on social security from @UKLabour youtu.be/m-C6SoMm0yA?si=zLXB…

@MayorofGM and @greatermcr are calling for greater devolution of employment support, so we can create a place-based system that lifts people up rather than tripping them up.
This short film from Dole Animators highlights the need for change. 👇
Today, as we nervously await the budget, the @doleanimators are back, with a new film, that charts lives lived at the sharp end of austerity over the last decade [watch and share it here: youtube.com/watch?si=zLXBW2E… ]

Powerful short film on the reality of life on benefits & low incomes & how policy decisions, often based on misguided assumptions & political expediency, have deep & profound impacts on people's wellbeing & their prospects for improving their lives

Enormous thanks to @BritishAcademy_ for funding this research nd to all the @doleanimators who have been speaking out about everyday life on a low-income for more than a decade.
We can and must do better on social security. The time to make that change is now.
