Two-child limit scrapped as historic Bill to lift 450,000 children out of poverty becomes law Historic legislation to end the two-child limit has become law, putting 450,000 children on a pathway out of poverty in the final year of this Parliament.

While this Labour government has had plenty of disappointing moments, this really is huge. Campaigners and experts have always told me this is the quickest and most effective way to immediately reduce child poverty. It took too long to get here but this is big.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Hi Alex, I work for Dolly’s charity delivering the Imagination Library and would love to chat to you about a story. Could you DM me your email?

Growing up is realising the Dolly version of “Jolene” is better than the White Stripes version

Starmer: "The leader of the opposition has been an Mp for 8 years. Her party have been in govt for 7 and a half of those 8 years. She was the children's minister. She was the women and equalities minister. I can;t remember her once raising this issue in the House."

If you want proof that supporting young musicians from low-income backgrounds changes lives, watch this. Sam (15) supported by the charity Future Talent to bring his incredible composition Destiny’s Journey to life - performed by the Halle and National Children’s Choir… youtu.be/TUmPtQ9OpKE?...

Still find it so exciting to open the curtain in the morning to a crisp layer of white snow ❄️

Without effective music education in state schools and high quality instrumental/vocal tuition being provided for free to low income families, the numbers of state educated people attending conservatoires and becoming pro classical musicians simply won’t increase.
