How someone feels about Irish Travellers is usually a good barometer of how far you're likely to get with them on other social justice issues. One of the most maligned and least equal groups in our society.

REMINDER: if you are parent to more than 2 children, they are now entitled to the child element of Universal Credit.

The two-child limit has been scrapped.

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this will mean for their kids:

- A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old
- Better quality food
- Clothes that aren't completely worn out
- Going on the school trip without getting into debt
- A new mattress
- Swimming lessons

Illustration of people looking at balloons and a sign saying 450,000 children lifted out of poverty.

Today is a good day for children!

450,000 will be lifted out of poverty thanks to the end of the two-child limit.

We're celebrating this along with 17 other orgs with an advert in The Times.

The advert has been funded by hundreds of small donations from people supporting @38degrees.bsky.social.

It's time to repost this Easter masterpiece

Uneven Paths (February 2026) A publication from The Traveller Movement

The Traveller Movement has published a new paper on the deep socio-economic inequalities faced by women and girls from Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities across the UK.

These are two groups who’s everyday rights are at a heightened risk.

400 days until #AE27 and #LE27

Excerpt from the piece: "Neither the festival itself or its key sponsor, Pepsi, have, at the time of writing, bothered to respond at all to inquiries from the paper I work for. The questions we asked them were as follows: - Did you at any point consider whether it was a good idea to invite a rapper who has repeatedly engaged in antisemitic and Neo-Nazi behaviour – most lately less than a year ago – to headline your festival? - Do you understand that there is a significant chance that West may engage in antisemitic and/or Nazi remarks before an audience of tens of thousands of people, at our festival? - Do you have anything to say to the tens of thousands of Jewish people living in London – many of whom live quite close to Finsbury Park? Given the circumstances in question, it seems like the least that Wireless could do is have some sort of plan in place to mitigate the risk that West might use the (literal) platform at their festival, underneath their logos and branding, to engage in the same behaviour he has repeatedly exhibited in the past. Will there be a psych evaluation beforehand? Will there be medical officers backstage? Is there a plan to immediately cut the microphones and the electrics if he starts to engage in awful behaviour? Given the circumstances, planning for this seems like the absolute least that a responsible festival should be doing. But we have received no reply whatsoever. Whether that is due to incompetence, panic or something else, we can only speculate."

I have written about the Wireless Festival's announcement that Kanye West will be headlining three nights at Finsbury Park this summer:

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

We brought together The Shift, PPR, Community Plan for Holloway, Public Interest Law Centre and the Castlemilk Housing & Human Rights Lived Experience Board.

We discussed housing justice and how to close the gap between rights in theory and reality.

Change happens when we act together.

Defending human rights means showing up — together — for dignity, equality and justice.

A Telegraph headline that reads "There's a reason young people like me hate the NHS", by Joanna Marchong

The reason Joanna Marchong hates the NHS is that she's paid to do so by the right-wing Adam Smith Institute, which lobbies on behalf of the private healthcare industry.

Statement: Children's Commissioner celebrates Restraint and Seclusion Bill passing Nicola Killean welcomes new legislation to protect children's rights...but warns more needs to be done whenever children are in the care of the State.

We’re delighted the Scottish Parliament has passed Calum’s Law on Restraint in schools. Incredible campaigning by Beth, Kate and & leadership shown by Daniel Johnson MSP, who brought the bill. More: bit.ly/4bPkwxf

I don't even know what to say about modern antisemitism anymore

shits bad man, and it is apparent to me that many people are desperate to find a target that will allow them to be racist in a way that won't make their cool friends upset

Someone SET FIRE to AMBULANCES. That should be enough for anyone to condemn if you're not also a terrible bigot.
