“Worryingly, the report forecasts that child poverty will rise further in the coming years - echoing the findings of our 2019 Living Standards Outlook, which projected a rise by a further 6 percentage points by 2023-24 (a record high on existing data) “
The article 50 period, 2017-19, has not been a good one for household income growth

Despite some small recent improvements (re inflation)the future prospects look weak with some social groups particularly at risk

Families with children
Single adults
Social renters
Mortgagors.
Summarised pithily by @GuitarMoog from a Guardian article on the same subject.

I know the @ICOnews now has the UKIP database after a prolonged period of appeals.

So I have an additional piece of the jigsaw to add to the Matthew Richardson advice and it’s timing.

@carolecadwalla
2/ On 11th November 2015 Richardson, who is a barrister, & had been UKIP’s General Secretary, so likely to have been involved in the writing of legal policy documents relating to data protection, expressed unease to Julian Wheatland about “what line to take” about data origin
3/. SCL/CA wanted clarification that the data they already had accessed & processed (received in October 2019 ) from Kaiser’s original evidence)had been passed to them legally

She said that the data arrived in SCL London in the form of processing towers, not copied hard drives!

FactCheck: we can’t find evidence that Dominic Raab warned of no-deal Brexit – Channel 4 News

FactCheck has searched the Vote Leave website, Mr Raab’s personal site, various BBC web pages, online newspaper archives, YouTube and elsewhere.

channel4.com/news/factcheck…
2/. We’ve listened to as many clips as we can find of interviews given by Mr Raab and Mr Gove between February 2016, when the EU referendum campaign unofficially began
3/. We can’t find an interview where Mr Raab warned explicitly about the possibility of a no-deal Brexit during the referendum campaign.

A committee set up in the United States to protect the Belfast Agreement has warned the incoming Northern Ireland Secretary that a future US-UK trade deal will be “all but impossible” if the peace accord is undermined.

It includes 5 former US ambassadors to Ireland
Whatever Trump is saying (can do 3 or 4 times better than...what? There is no trade deal between the EU and the US)

“But any trade deal between Britain and the US – whether or not Mr Trump remains in the Oval Office after next year’s election – needs the sign-off of Congress”
“The Trump administration is currently struggling to secure congressional approval for its revised Nafta agreement – an existing trade accord between the United States, Mexico and Canada which is relatively uncontentious..”

Full story.

This is why local reporting is so critical in the primary. This plan of @BernieSanders is really good and superior to any other plan I've reported on.

1/
 Exclusive: Sanders details plan to support American seniors ahead of Iowa appearance desmoinesregister.com/story/news/ele… via @DMRegister
Bernie addresses everything that has failed seniors in the current #Medicare iteration. Anyone who has an elderly parent knows how much Medicare doesn't cover. And last month I did an investigative report on women and #poverty--nearly 1 in 3 65+ women are living in poverty.
2/
Sanders has been largely discounted in this primary, in part due to remaining resentment toward him from 2016 and then because he did nothing to improve and refine his message in 2019. But this is really good policy and others should want to adopt it.

We've just released the final report by @Alston_UNSR, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty, on his visit to the #UK. The report is available here: undocs.org/A/HRC/41/39/Ad…. A few key takeaways:
Some have asked me why a UN expert on #poverty would visit the #UK. Unfortunately, although the UK is the world’s 5th largest economy, 14 million are in poverty, child poverty is rising & predicted to reach 40% by 2021, homelessness is up 60%, and food bank use has skyrocketed.
To understand #poverty in the #UK, you have to look at the massive disinvestment in social support since 2010: the end of a centralized social fund, changes to the ways benefits are capped & calculated that substantially reduce their value, the decimation of civil legal aid, etc.

It seems @YouTube removed the footage of the Q & A statement on the visit to the UK, by @Alston_UNSR, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty & human rights. @theresa_may & @AmberRuddHR both dismiss it - judge for yourself. Here it is in document form: ohchr.org/Documents/Issu…
I am going to use this thread to share some of the data that is referenced from this report. Because it matters and isn't shared enough.
A new measure of poverty for the UK: The final report of the Social Metrics Commission. September 2018. Full report - socialmetricscommission.org.uk/MEASURING-POVE…
Via @jrf_uk Destitution in the UK (June) 2018. Full Report: jrf.org.uk/report/destitu…

"1,550,000 people, including 365,000 children, were destitute in the UK during 2017. They could not afford to buy the bare essentials we all need to eat, stay warm, dry, & clean."

"The Government’s place is not to be assisting people who think they can’t make it on their own, it’s an absolute last emergency order” --> the words of UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty & Human Rights @Alston_UNSR should shame Britain & need to be publicised. My THREAD:
Professor Philip Alston said that 14 million people are in poverty in the UK (a figure the Government disputes) and that child poverty rates are “staggering” and are predicted to go up significantly over the next couple of years. #poverty #humanrights #austerity
The UN Special Rapporteur said he saw “a lot of misery” during his trip to the UK & met “a lot of people who feel the system is really there just to punish them”. People who could have gotten help in "yesterday's Britain" can no longer count on it #poverty #humanrights #austerity

Dear anyone who thinks they will vote Conservative when we have a #GeneralElection ...please read the below report from UN Rapporteur on extreme poverty & human rights before you cast your vote.

Let your conscience do the rest.

“But through it all, one actor has stubbornly resisted seeing the situation for what it is. The Government has remained determinedly in a state of denial.”

“Even while devolved authorities in Scotland & N Ireland are frantically trying to devise ways to ‘mitigate’, or in other words counteract, at least the worst features of the Government’s benefits policy, Ministers insisted to me that all is well and running acc to plan”

@khadijahkasim1 @PeterGregoryObi These are the indicators
1) GDP growth: Nigeria is currently growing at less than 1% of GDP as against 5-7% growth when GEJ was president. However, don’t forget that it is not about GEJ but about the future of Nigerian youth and Nigerian families.
@khadijahkasim1 @PeterGregoryObi 2) Population growth- Nigeria is growing annually at about 3% and as such it is dangerous to sustain a government whose policies keep growth at less than 1% when we are adding new Nigerians to the mix daily. It spells doom for Nigerian youth and families
@khadijahkasim1 @PeterGregoryObi 3) Job losses & Unemployment:
Nigeria has lost about 11million jobs in the last 3years & 7months under PMB. These jobs were mostly middle class jobs that were paying reasonably. Today we are havd net negative job growth & the next govt must replace the lost jobs & create new ones
