Some interesting data out today from Centre for Cities, suggesting Labour are going to miss their 2029 housebuilding target by at least 388,000 homes. The shortfall is forecast to be largest in big metropolitan areas - I've mapped the local figures below 👇 datawrapper.de/_/jLL3Z/

For #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities, my colleague Richard Ault found thousands of disabled people in the UK could be eligible for benefits without even knowing it - with fewer than half claiming in some parts of the country mirror.co.uk/money/thousand…

The annual report from Shelter on the number of people who will be homeless this Christmas is stark reading - at least 354,000 people in England, including 161,500 children, will spend the holidays without a home. I've mapped the local figures below datawrapper.de/_/T3LAw #ddj

Congrats to my colleagues David Dubas-Fisher, Cullen Willis, Richard Ault and Paul Gallagher who were Highly Commended in the Innovation category at the Press Gazette #BritishJournalismAwards last night 🙌

🚨 The Northern Agenda is proud to launch its new podcast series Our Kids In The North Over the next six episodes, journalists Rob Parsons and Annie Gouk will focus on what it’s really like to be  one of the 3.3 million children growing up in Northern England today 1/4

I'm really proud of this podcast - do give it a listen if you're interested in the future of young people in the North Also superb production work by Daniel J. McLaughlin and a great graphic by Marianna Longo 1/2

This is a shocking graphic from Annie Gouk featured in our podcast Our Kids In The North. A massive rise in the last 30 years in the number of Northern children in poverty despite having at least one parent in work. Whatever happens to making work pay? podfollow.com/the-northern-a…

🚨There's a new episode of The Northern Agenda's Our Kids In The North podcast Annie Gouk and I focus on the North East and ask the question: will creating high-skilled jobs solve the region's child poverty crisis? Featuring mayor Kim McGuinness and Paul Lindley OBE 1/2

My family experienced real hardship, I know how it feels, so as North East Mayor, I’ll never set a target that leaves any child behind. Great to talk to Rob Parsons and Annie Gouk about our ambitious plans, including our Child Poverty Reduction Unit- the first in the UK.

👪 Affordable, high-quality childcare is essential for any thriving community. 🗣️ Steve spoke to The Northern Agenda about the impact of rising childcare costs and staff shortages on families and the economy. 🤝 We have launched a regional masterplan to tackle this issue.
