Sobering moment in Governors meeting this morning. Girl turned up to school on Thursday despite it being a snow day. She didn't know because she'd been homeless since the weekend.
The thing that has always upset me most about Brexit is that it sucks up all the Govt/media attention. So we're not discussing the rise in homelessness or child poverty, let alone doing anything about it.
There are 400k more children living in poverty than five years ago. In some London boroughs over 50% of children are now living in poverty. How many middle class people know this is happening?
I walked through DEXEU the other day. 100s and 100s of smart people - the best of the civil service - spending their time figuring out how to make Brexit work rather than solving real problems. Heartbreaking really.
