Child Poverty and Cold Homes: Labour’s Welfare Dilemma

More than 4 million children in the UK are living in poverty. Many grow up in homes where heating is a luxury. Labour is facing a test of values: how to fund welfare that warms homes and futures without triggering another economic backlash.

Free Lucy Letby
Medical opinion from 14 top experts: Lucy's being scapegoated. This shakes the very foundations of our criminal justice system. Systemic failures are exposed. Conviction now questioned due to disputed evidence—alarming sign of systemic collapse.

Oedipus at the Old Vic – WOW.
Rami Malek - electrifying, Indira Varma above any expectations. The production is stark yet rich, with choreography reminiscent of The Matrix meets Dune. Every detail is masterfully subtle. Devastating and unforgettable.

When Lord Timpson told the House of Commons Justice Committee that the Government want the Parole Board are the correct body to take decisions on moving to Open Conditions, did he know what is actually happening?

If TV wins the right to screen live games at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, will it lead to the death of smaller clubs & collapse of the football pyramid in Britain? Will anyone in future follow Ian Wright & progress from the base of that pyramid to the peak?

At a time of housing crisis, always more noticeable at Christmas, the Local Government Association highlight that Angela Rayner's Ministry of Housing admit that close on 25,000 affordable homes have been lost due to a quirk of the planning system oldstreetnews.ianreevesmedia.co.uk/24000-afford....

We know farmers are often being paid less than it costs to produce food.
We know the public struggle with the continuing rise of the cost of living.
We know, or are told, supermarkets struggle for cash to pay staff.
So where is the money going? Who to believe? Or, who do we disbelieve? Guess.

Is a longstanding UK injustice going to end? Let us hope Joint Enterprise, which our Supreme Court said back in 2016 had taken a "wrong turn" is really being investigated as the Director of Public Prosecutions told the Commons Justice Committee.

Mark Richardson walked 12 hours for shelter, raising only 41p, while the Art’otel behind him charges £1000 a night. The hotel’s Banksy murals, once anti-capitalist, now fuel luxury. In Hackney’s homelessness crisis, has the message been lost to gentrification?
