The @theifs.bsky.social Deaton Review concludes today. It highlights the dynamic, multidimensional nature of inequalities, challenging the idea that you can make policy first & fix distributional impacts later. Inequalities need to be built into policy thinking from the start. ifs.org.uk/inequality

The two-child limit will go. @nuffieldfoundation.org research by the fab team below showed the limit & the benefit cap didn't meet their behavioural aims & harmed families. Huge thanks to the team & to the families who shared their experiences. Evidence matters: today it seems it was heard.

I’ve written a blog drawing on @nuffieldfoundation.org research about tackling child poverty. Removing the two-child limit is essential to prevent further rises. It’s a vital first step toward a broader child poverty strategy - one that improves children’s lives and their futures. ow.ly/3RJW50Xx4H9

I am delighted to share the launch of the @nuffieldfoundation.org Strategic Review to fund research that tackles some of the UK's biggest social challenges. Our independence gives us the freedom to be open and objective in our approach and focus on the power of evidence to improve people's lives.
