Wrote this for @IndyVoices on why internationalists should oppose the Tories’ DfID / FCO merger whilst also being more critical of the market-based approach to development seen since 2010.

No-one should need a #foodbank to get through the summer holidays. There is no 'golden age' promised by the new PM until we have systems that protect us all from being pulled into crisis - benefits, affordable living costs, fair work that pays. https://t.co/OBUQSRFsEJ

Great article from @paul4citymayor in @tribunemagazine on land privatisation, public sector asset losses and gutting of social infrastructure in UK in recent decades.

Amazing to think of what the whole team at @Comm_Links has achieved in the past couple of years. Sad to be leaving such great colleagues behind, but also super excited to be joining the team at @GlobalJusticeUK in a couple of weeks!

Heading to Portcullis House this morning to give evidence to the Youth Select Committee on how to tackle youth violence, drawing on extensive research and service delivery by @Comm_Links and @Catch22.

The @TrussellTrust has found that #UniversalCredit and the #5WeekWait are causing unnecessary hardship to people experiencing #mentalhealth problems. We have found the same issues in our own emergency food support service, which is why we support the #5WeeksTooLong campaign.

In response to the publication of @Alston_UNSR's final report on Wednesday, our Policy & Research Manager @DanielW_CL was invited on to @RTUKnews to discuss why it is crucial to listen to those with lived experience of poverty. 👇

A few thoughts from me on @RTUKnews last night on why @Alston_UNSR’s report reflects the reality of poverty in the UK and why the government should not dismiss it. 👇

[RT UK @RTUKnews]

“It really is a daily reality” says @DanielW_CL, @Comm_Links, as report suggests millennial generation are at real risk of relative poverty.

[Community Links @Comm_Links]

"I learned a great deal from those who told their stories in Newham; it would be great if policy-makers were to do the same.”

@Alston_UNSR quoted in this by @koldo_casla + @DanielW_CL on why basing policy on lived experience of poverty is crucial.
