Today, the government is publishing a consultation on the future of PIP. 🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution have a chronic health condition or disability. People in this position shouldn't be used as a political football. We need action, not rhetoric from politicians.
We have an amazing opportunity for a freelance creative producer to support @jrf_uk’s Emerging Futures placed-based work in the North East in a new project: ‘Sea Change: imagining fair futures for Hartlepool’. 🌊 See link to details in 🧵…
This @NewStatesman piece by @Anoosh_C covers work @NEF is undertaking to explore alternative approaches to harsh & prescriptive benefits conditionality Here's what we've found so far & why this issue is critical for any government serious about improving employment outcomes...🧵

In 2022/23, 35% of people in non-working households where someone received PIP were unable to keep their home warm.
🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help. The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi….
While inflation has come down to 3.2%, private rents definitely have not. @jrf_uk analysis this morning shows that across GB, rents increased by an average of £104 a month (9.1%) over the last year, & in London by £207 per month (11.2%). The cost of living crisis is not over.
Your source's headline is misleading - the IMF experts' report does NOT call for benefits to be slashed. It hardly mentions benefits at all. There is not even a mention of benefits in its recommendations section. (more detail here: x.com/IainKPorter/st…)

Record numbers of private renters threatened with homelessness because of Section 21 and the Government can't even put a date on when S21 will finally be abolished. The lack of urgency is embarrassing.
NEW: the number of households threatened with homelessness & owed a prevention duty because of Section 21 is the highest on record (25,910 over the last year).🏡 Homelessness will continue to rise unless the Government strengthens the Renters (Reform) Bill to protect renters.📃
Well this is super depressing.
New homelessness numbers in England out today and the headline is: *Everything* going in the wrong direction. - Record high numbers assessed as homeless/ threatened with homelessness over the last year. - Record high numbers in temporary accom, including numbers of kids.
❗️Almost 320,000 households assessed as homeless or at risk of homelessness: a record high ❗️25,910 households threatened with homelessness and owed a prevention duty because of a Section 21 notice: a record high ❗️112,660 households in temporary accommodation: a record high
The Renters Reform Bill last week being so weak on banning section 21 is especially gutting as we get the latest homelessness stats this morning showing that a record 24k households were threatened with homelessness in 2022/23 or homeless due to a section 21 eviction.

NEW: England's quarterly homelessness stats are out - more bleak reading. There are 145,800 homeless children living in temporary accommodation - the highest ever recorded and up 15% on last year There are 112,660 homeless households - up 12% in a year and the highest on record
Tomorrow we begin recording our in-depth, original podcast series into Britain’s housing crisis, building on our 3 year investigation. Social housing conditions to the private rental crisis to a rise in homelessness. How we got here, where we go now. Can’t wait for you to hear it
146,000 children were living in temporary accommodation in Q4 2023. That's a rise of almost 20k since Q4 2022. We should be so ashamed. If we had a welfare system that met the cost of essentials, more social homes and a better private rental market this wouldn't be the case.

Such an important and sensitively done investigation into the 140,000 children stuck in temporary accommodation for months and years- entire childhoods sometimes. A timely listen ahead of the latest homelessness stats coming out tomorrow globalplayer.com/podcasts/episo…
For anyone that doesn’t believe money is important let’s crunch some numbers… This is the CHEAPEST 2 bed house on rightmove within 10 miles of Manchester. So let’s do this for a new family: - Rent £750 - Council tax £115 - Gas/electric £200 - Water £30 - Food £500 - Internet…

Great to see @lewis_goodall take on temporary accommodation - the number of people, including children stuck in these unsafe homes ought to be a national scandal.
NEW: Latest @TheNewsAgents Investigates - Britain’s hidden homeless children Nearly 140,000 kids in Britain are now homeless, in so-called “temporary accommodation”. We went to a school where half of the kids don’t have a home to call their own. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

If you asked every single person receiving benefits to give two words to describe their experience of the welfare system, I doubt you'd hear a single mention of "fairness" or "compassion"
Today, the government is publishing a consultation on the future of PIP. 🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution have a chronic health condition or disability. People in this position shouldn't be used as a political football. We need action, not rhetoric from politicians.
Around 7 in 10 working-age adults in a family where someone receives PIP and no-one is in work are in material deprivation. 3 times as much as the rate across all working-age households. 💥 Over 40% experienced food insecurity 💥 Over 30% were unable to keep their homes warm
So many people receiving disability benefits are in deep financial hardship. Cutting eligibility without any reckoning with the inadequacy of the social security safety is not the answer.

It is fallacious to imagine that if an immigrant enters the UK and works in a sector with subaverage wages, then they somehow drag the rest of us down. But people get fooled by averages. All the time. My tweet has drawn some extraordinary types out of the woodwork -go look 4/
This comment captures gloriously a terrible economic fallacy that loads of people fall into. An economy does not only prosper if the marginal job created is above the mean prevailing wage. If work is needed and work is supplied, the economy grows. Consider an analogy ... 1/
@Gilesyb @jburnmurdoch Hi, your chart appears to show immigrants and their children significantly bringing down the average, but you spin this is a huge strength?
