RIP David Lipsey. A warm, brilliant and inspiring man. Thinking of his wife Margaret and the kindness they both showed my family. Labour peer dies while swimming in river www.bbc.com/news/article...

Excellent to see free school meals extended to 100k more poorer children. (Even if a bit of a headache for us wonks…). Top graphs and analysis from @ckfarquharson.bsky.social as ever.

But why would she say that 3wks before spending review when the game is on - care is a ‘bleeding stump’ for ChX to see (unfortunately one of many). Also not sure huge difference in more council tax Vs income tax-or that being explicit will do anything other than make Labour more likely to lose.

Important new work on exceptional needs of babies born in lockdown on @bbcradio4.bsky.social Woman's Hour. 5yrs on, its staggers me how shocked many still are about this. Those of us paying attention saw the babyblindspot play out like a slowmotion crash parentinfantfoundation.org.uk/wp-content/u...

The annual @theifs.bsky.social report on education spending is out. I've always found it incredibly useful so really pleased that @nuffieldfoundation.org fund it. Here's spending by educational stage over the last 35 years. So many policy stories in a single chart. ifs.org.uk/publications...

Amazing news of a 45% uplift to Early Years Pupil Premium, announced while I was literally in BBC Woman's Hour green room preparing to call for this very thing. They must have read my mind (or my childcare report yesterday for @ippr.bsky.social ...)!

Thanks BBC Woman's Hour for making the space to discuss how we can build childcare into a proper public service

Anyone who’s ever had any contact with the school or had a conversation with anyone who has. My point is, consciously or not, we all made a calculation that this culture was acceptable. A worthwhile trade off. But with today’s lens, it no longer feels that way.

Not new news. I thought “we” were okay with this. If this is no longer the case, it says more about shift in what is considered acceptable. Progress.

Thanks- worrying but very helpful to have numbers on this. Could children leaving the country be in the mix? ie. Moving abroad and deregister from school but perhaps not GP straight away. Many families leaving London now…
