📆 Yesterday, the Government began a multi-billion pound expansion of childcare funding. But with limited controls, we risk boosting the profits of the biggest providers while others struggle and workers live in poverty. 🔽 (1/2)

DWP need to be pushed to commission impact assessments and independent evaluations that look at sustained work and whether people earn enough to no longer get UC. One week in work not a significant job outcome as in the latest lone parent UC impact assessment.

The SPA Employment Policy Group invites abstracts for our themed symposium at the SPA conference 2024 (University of Strathclyde in Glasgow (Wed 3rd July-Fri 5th July). Please submit your abstract of 200-400 words to [email protected] by 18th March 2024.
Here's a chart comparing benefit rates, which have risen by 13% since April 2021, with overall prices (up 20%), food (up 30%) & energy (up two thirds since April 2021 and 80% since Dec 2020.) Remember this is just the rate of change in amounts that were inadequate to start with.

"Social security cuts are not abstract, a diverting Westminster drama or cheap means to win votes. They are choices that affect real people": excellent @DrFrancesRyan column on the chancellor's performative cruelty on disability benefit cuts theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"The amount of obstacles I have had to face, like the lack of flexible work in every job sector, is a huge barrier, especially if you are trying to work around fixed childcare hours." Read Libby N's response to the #AutumnStatement2023 changingrealities.org/blog/systemic-…
The real effect of 2024 increases in NLW and reductions in NI, without threshold changes, is little gain for many workers, increased employers' costs and huge gains for the Treasury. See some details at benefitsinthefuture.com/the-government… #NationalInsurance #tax #benefits #NLW #employers
The chart I'd be most worried about as a Tory MP? The disaster of what's happened to household incomes: 3.5% fall between the last election and the coming one is the largest reduction in real living standards since ONS records began in the 1950s
The wonderful team at @GCU_SPIRU launched their new Tackling Poverty Locally Directory yesterday. Funded by @finan_fairness It's an excellent idea to create a practical FREE resource & community to help tackle poverty at the local level. gcu.ac.uk/aboutgcu/acade…
Health warning! Important week to remember that ANY job isn't always better than NO job. Here's a sample of the growing evidence pile showing how bad quality work is bad for health. Solving the inactivity puzzle starts with good jobs and healthy working lives - not sanctions 👇
I make this the 8th permanent cut to real benefit values through uprating policy alone since 2010, values already 8% lower (real terms,CPI) than in 2010 quite apart from effect of lags.
...Only a tiny minority of UC sanctions apply for six months or more (in the latest data from 2020, just 5% of sanctions lasted for six months or more, with the median length being 29 days).
