Ahead of the Autumn 2025 Budget next week the Cliff Edge Coalition calls on @RachelReevesMP to fully scrap the two-child limit to protect children, families and communities from poverty

Good to have balance that it’s not all negative news from today

[Ｐｅｔｅｒ Ｌｙｎａｓ @peterlynas]

Some thoughts on the Supreme Court ruling on religion in schools in Northern Ireland. It is challenging but there are encouragements.

[Cliff Edge Coalition NI @CliffEdgeNI]

Ahead of the Budget we urge our NI MPs to continue to put pressure on the Government to fully scrap the two-child limit.

This would be an important investment in our children, families, communities and in the local economy ⬇️

Policy needs data and here it is are - it may not be what national and regional( except for Scotland ) wants to read but it require, in part money commitment to solve

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

4.3 million children are in poverty

UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢

Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in large part due to social security policies 1/5

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Half of low-income families with no recourse to public funds are falling into destitution 📢

We need urgent policy change so that anyone experiencing hardship in the UK has a place to turn for support.

This makes me cross - why does the savings on welfare still have come the most vulnerable- you have made enough U-turns we will not blame labour for increasing taxes and those who can afford it / Welfare U-turn makes spending decisions harder, minister say https://t.co/wy6gKKAT6G

[Brian Anderson @REVBBA]

This is now about saving the PM saving face than doing the right thing for the most vulnerable https://t.co/NLCLogxhqD

I thought it was the correct way to get our @niexecutive to listen that the draft AP strategy needs to be changed to address the plight so many are living with.

[Northern Ireland Anti Poverty Network @NIAntiPov]

Over 50 organisations have signed this open letter to the NI Executive to drop the harmful draft Anti-Poverty 'Strategy' and revert back to the expert recommendations they have had for years. Now you can add your name too! Sign and share. https://t.co/Hpx3od7tNj via @actnowni

Sad for many Catholic friends today - Pope Francis saw the individual not the institution- need more like him in all areas of life - thank you and rest in peace @MartinJMagill @gymforthesoul @petercarlin @stmatthewsbelfast

[Brian Anderson @REVBBA]

@C_Fitz_ @bbcradioulster Look forward to listening in

[Brian Anderson @REVBBA]

@NICVA @scrabopower @celinemcs @ainemagee11 @CarersNI @healthdpt @mikenesbittni Of course this needed but with accuracy and urgency

[NICVA @NICVA]

📢 “£1.8M is wholly inadequate. Previously this funding was nearly £4M & should rise with inflation – not decrease.”

@celinemcs & @CarersNI spoke to @bbcradioulster earlier about why a long-term funding solution is urgently needed.
