The thing about "the UK’s tax burden is now at a record high", is that this is also true for almost all countries 📈

More evidence from robust evaluation by my colleagues @TheIFS that SureStart had impressive long run impacts. Previous work showed it improved the long run health and educational achievement of poorer children. New work shows drop in serious youth offending.
More @TheIFS work out on Sure Start today, looking at rare and costly outcomes.
We find big drops in serious youth offending (including youth custody), but less improvement in social care interactions or school behaviour.

Great to be joining @ChrisGPackham at the #RestoreNatureNow demo today outside @DefraGovUK. 🙌
Nature is at the heart of tackling the #ClimateCrisis.
Our leaders need to step up, stop rolling back on vital green policies, and act now to restore it.

.@jeremycorbyn families across the UK face being pushed to the brink if the government breaks their promise to keep benefits in-line with inflation.
Millions of children will be put at risk.

As #ToryLeadership candidates vie for who can offer the biggest tax cuts, the @IPPR show 1p cut in income tax costs £5bn with half going to the fifth of people with the highest income, only 2.6% reaches the poorest. This is not a strategy to reduce scandalous child poverty rates
