The two-child limit is unjust and causes untold harm to the nation's children. Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that scrapping it would cost the equivalent of just 3% of the total working-age benefit budget. It's a small price to pay for justice and compassion. heraldscotland.com/politics/westm…

In May this year we lost my father in law, Pat, to bowel cancer, only 9 months after his diagnosis. My son Logan and I are taking part in the Cancer Research UK Shine Night Walk in Glasgow tomorrow in memory of him 💛 Any donation is hugely appreciated. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/team/granda-pa…

These narratives are so exhausting & exist to both justify inequalities whilst positioning the working-class as stupid, uncultured & undeserving. So let’s take this example of ‘the seaside is free’ as an option for a family day out for a single mother of 3 kids from London.

Shine for Cancer Research UK 10k Walk 2024 completed! ✅️ Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. We've managed to raise nearly £900 (+GA) for Cancer Research UK, with the money going specifically towards research into bowel cancer, in memory of Pat. Logan, I'm so proud of you 💛

A huge well done and congratulations to St Luke’s High School S3 pupil Logan! He has raised nearly £1000 by taking part in the Shine Night Walk last weekend for cancer research! A great example of living our school values of Love, Faith and Understanding - a definite #proudDHT moment! 🌟

Dear First Minister. You've made eradicating the injustice of child poverty your aim. So let's see action to #ChallengePoverty in the Programme for Government. #ScotPfG povertyalliance.org/wp-content/upl…

First Minister is right to make child poverty the ‘first priority’ in his Programme for Government, but more investment is needed. Read John Dickie's response to Scottish Government's #PfG cpag.org.uk/news/first-min…

RED WEATHER WARNING All schools, nursery classes and family centres will be closed on Friday 24 January due to Storm Oewyn. This is a difficult decision to take and we understand the impact on parents and carers, however, the safety of children and young people is paramount.

Reported cuts to disability support risk undermining wider government efforts to reduce child poverty: - 870,000 children live in families receiving PIP - 290,000 of these children are already in poverty More here: cpag.org.uk/news/cuts-disa…

The PM’s vital commitment to improved living standards for all would be shattered if disabled people are left behind. Children in a household where someone has a disability already have a higher risk of poverty & further cuts would only make life harder for many of these families
