"In Cost Cutters, a new Fabian Society report... we set out a plan to tackle the poverty premium and make markets work for low-income families." @BenCooper1995 writes about his new report on how Labour could reshape key markets to raise living standards: labourlist.org/2024/04/cost-l…
"People on the lowest incomes are affected most. They even pay higher prices for essential goods and services because they have a low income." Great to see coverage of @thefabians & @BenCooper1995 report on the poverty premium in @LabourList today. labourlist.org/2024/04/cost-l…

Really interesting report out from @thefabians. If we want to see essential markets which really work for everyone there are some bold changes needed. Great to see practical ideas like social tariffs, consumer duties and statutory consumer advocates at the heart of this report.

NEW from @thefabians Rightly we spend a lot of time thinking about how to raise incomes to tackle hardship But reducing essential living costs is just as important This report by @BenCooper1995 shows us how to do it

The cost of living crisis is unprecedented in living memory – and low income families are the worst affected by failing markets. This is the poverty premium, and it affects 1/4 of UK households.
🗣️ A pleasure to address @1adass Spring Seminar this morning. 🌹 After 14 years of Tory mismanagement, the next Labour government will work alongside local authorities in creating a National Care Service that delivers for all those who draw on care and support.
Thrilled to be published in @thefabians' 140th anniversary Fabian Review, exploring what Labour's science policy can learn from the Blair and Brown years 🌹🔬 A few highlights...
Huge agreement with this. Rich people pay more VAT than poor people. Rachel Reeves should charge VAT on everything & provide flat-rate compensation to leave the poorer 1/2 or 2/3 better off ie a one off rise in tax thresholds, state pension and benefits economist.com/britain/2024/0…

PIP was introduced in 2014. The Government said it was redesigning the PIP process to move away from a "one size fits all" approach.. .. in 2015. Perhaps @MelJStride should spend less time tweeting and more on understanding why things went wrong.
Fairness and compassion are at the heart of our welfare system. That’s why we want to update PIP’s “one size fits all” approach, recognising that people’s needs vary. I want to see how PIP assessments can be scrapped entirely for people with certain conditions or disabilities.
Welfare secretary Mel Stride says people with depression or anxiety could lose sickness benefits as the system should not be paying them to deal with the “ordinary difficulties of life”. Has he ever needed - or tried to access - mental health support? theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

A core function of the benefit system is to take account of employers not paying workers differently based on family size or extra costs. So Universal Credit tops up low wages, helps with high rents & cost of children. PIP helps with disability costs. That's literally the point.
PM's argument about fairness to workers makes no sense - 2/3 of families affected by the 2 child limit are in work. Follows last week's odd disconnect between actual facts and the PM's disability benefits speech. thesun.co.uk/news/27445505/…
I’ve been reading the @nytimes since I was a teenager spending summers with relatives in Queens and Brooklyn. It’s an honour to be profiled this weekend on @UKLabour’s vision for foreign policy: progressive realism 👇🏿 nytimes.com/2024/04/21/wor…
Great to be out again in Laycock ward for @SadiqKhan and @Semakaleng with friends, having helpful chats with residents regarding local issues. Thanks for all the support #postalvoteweekend 🌹🌹
This is not the answer. People are not sick because doctors are signing them off. People are sick because of a lost decade for the good work agenda and chronic underinvestment in public services. See my @thefabians report fabians.org.uk/publication/wh… @benrileysmith @nickgutteridge

Better answer for Labour right now would be to say that if in government it would look at the EU ask on the basis of UK national interests and proceed from there. Because in reality the UK can't actually say no - the asks we know about must now be seen in light of the new EU asks
