Ethnic minority adults in Britain spend far more on housing than White British adults—yet often live in smaller, overcrowded, or poorer-quality homes. In my latest blog, I explore what's behind this disparity. Read the full piece here: housingevidence.ac.uk/home-heritage/

With impeccable timing, given rumours in the Guardian of a softening of approach towards the two child limit, the New Statesman's policy Spotlight has a piece by me on why the Government will have to do something to stop child poverty rising. www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/po...

Reducing child poverty should be Labour's guiding mission

The 2025 Spending Review is a crucial moment for the Govt. After decades of chronic under-investment, the Chancellor faces a tough choice: how to spend limited capital to fix Britain's frayed infrastructure and support future ambitions for growth.

Short piece out tonight on what tariffs mean for UK living standards (h/t @emilyfry.bsky.social & @gthwaites.bsky.social). Key point: tariffs hurt the economy and destroy good jobs outside London & SE, so expect a policy response. But big risk is this turns into a global recession.

The increase in disability and poor health in low-to-middle income families means that more people are also taking on caring responsibilities. One-in-eight (12 per cent) people in a low-to-middle income family care for an ill, disabled or elderly adult, more than in higher income families.
