Eliminating Poverty in Britain - My new book out September 2023 with Flint Books. Author, mother, Londoner. Believe in vaccines, climate change and compassion.
We support Israel's right to defend itself.
We must distinguish Hamas terrorists from Palestinian civilians suffering terribly in this war.
International law requires the protection of civilians and access to food, water and electricity.
We need humanitarian corridors in Gaza.
Watch Danny Dorling describe what has happened to Britain. He starts off looking a bit awkward in front of the camera, but settles down and has made a devastating film. Should be compulsory viewing for Starmer and shadow cabinet.

Temi, 6, and Mary, 5, have been homeless for six months.
The family have been moved 10 times to different temporary properties.
Their primary school is in Peckham, but they’re staying in a guesthouse an hour away.
At their school, over HALF of the 300 pupils are also homeless.
🔺Investigation: Britain’s homeless children.
I’ve spent time with 2 families in Stockport and London with no where to live, navigating a broken housing system.
At one primary school, half of the pupils are homeless, living in temporary accommodation. https://t.co/MHul7d7vaO
Professor Danny Dorling's (L) new book "Shattered Nation" launched yesterday, at the Progressive Economy Forum. A fascinating evening. There is so much to be done to haul our country out of the mess it is in. @MyStephanomics@dannydorling#EliminateUKPoverty
Gave my first talk since the book came out this week to the Isle of Dogs Women's Forum. Huge thanks to @MufeedahB for organising. Great debates on how to end poverty in Britain. An essential one for the population of Tower Hamlets which has 70 food banks.
Such a pleasure to give a talk and lead the discussion at The Isle of Dogs Women's Forum on my book: Eliminating Poverty in Britain. Great discussion and ideas on how to move our country forward.
@claire_ainsley@NewStatesman You are absolutely right about the need to rebuild trust and one way of doing it would be to end poverty in Britain. My book came out last week and offers new & realistic ideas on how to do it.
@SocMetricsComm My book Eliminating Poverty in Britain came out last week. It is realistic and offers new ideas on how to end deprivation in Britain. It would be great to speak to the Poverty Strategy Commission about the research it contains. Website: https://t.co/hjloxTT3nh
Easily one of the best nights of my life! The launch of my book " Eliminating Poverty in Britain. " Huge thanks to my editor Claire Hopkins at Flint Books and to the lovely staff @Waterstones in Greenwich for hosting us all.
I agree with this. The water companies do not compete in a free market. No one has a choice over which company provides their water, so they should not be privatised. Water is essential for life. It should never have been put in private hands.
The government are complicit in allowing water companies to dump raw sewage into our rivers.
They've also allowed them to siphon off £72,000,000,000 of public money to shareholders.
Water must be brought under democratic public control.
34 pairs of shoes to represent the 34 children who died in temporary housing from 2019-2021, with homelessness recorded as a possible contributing factor. A whole classroom of children.
Change is long overdue. We look forward to working with all parties to make this a priority.
@DanielHewittITV You do excellent work highlighting our country's housing problems. My book "Eliminating Poverty in Britain" came out last week. We can end the squalor. It is not inevitable...
Did you know that ending youth homelessness could mean society was £8.5 billion better off? That would cover the salary of more than 300,000 new police officers or 240,000 new nurses. 1/3
It was disappointing to see housing minister Rachel Maclean link the housing crisis to small boats crossings yesterday.
These crossings are a tiny percentage of overall UK migration and housing demand. To blame them for the government’s poor record on housing is pretty shameful.
