FREE AND EQUAL is out in paperback in the UK TODAY!

What a year it's been 🤩

The paperback includes a new Afterword ‘From What to How?’, about turning ideas into a political movement for change ✊

Incredibly important proof that Sure Start was a fantastic social innovation eviscerated by purposeless Austerity. From 3500 centres in 2010 to 1000 today. All to achieve - what? To turn back the clock on social mobility and the relief of inequality.

Labour has announced plans to crack down on tax dodging by giving HMRC more resources, and make sure backdoors in the government's new non-dom rules are closed down. Here's what our Head of Advocacy and Policy, Rachael Henry, has to say ⬇️

Was great to be on the panel for this Fairness Foundation & The Policy Institute event on capping extreme wealth last week, alongside Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] & Patriotic Millionaires UK.

Nice write-up and link to the full video below

Millions of payments are made every day in the UK.

Sadly, people in poverty are charged more because of the way they pay for essentials.

Here are the real stories of payments and the poverty premium.

Investing in more HMRC staff to crack down on tax dodging is smart policy and politics

'...we would be better off as a society, and it would also be more in line with moral principles, if we were to just put a cap on how much personal wealth a person could have.'

Tomorrow is an unhappy birthday, 7 years since the start of the two-child limit to benefit payments

We love birthdays 🎂 but this isn't one to celebrate 😔 today we are taking this message to Department for Work and Pensions

All political parties must pledge to scrap this Sibling Tax

Thanks Fairness Foundation for an excellent webinar. Panellists disagreeing agreeably and advancing a serious and much needed debate. Particularly liked Ingrid Robeyns @[email protected] point, what is the economy for if not to improve peoples lives?

Still time to sign up for this - will be a great discussion on a key issue… where our polling with APPG Inclusive Growth shows the UK public now think the very wealthy have more power and influence than government

Report on the 2-child limit from Martin O'Neill concludes: 'The policy is unfair in multiple dimensions, while also being a policy that has
manifestly failed even on the terms by which it
is supposedly justified, and carries with it a
range of further negative consequences.'

I'm with Martin O'Neill on the long-term positive impacts on children's lives that abolishing the two-child benefit cap - something I have been campaigning for. Fairness Foundation is right to highlight the crucial importance of lifting children out of poverty.
