Liam Byrne MP today described new child poverty figures as “the census that shames us.”
The new figures from the End Child Poverty Coalition reveal:
Our community is one of the poorest in Britain and over the summer I am updating my research into the causes of poverty and low income.
I am looking for people to interview who have a household income of £13,000 a year or less.
The telephone interview will be strictly confidential and will be undertaken by my senior researcher Erik Cummins. It will take about 30-45 minutes.
The £1 billion deal Theresa May has struck with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is leaving the West Midlands massively short-changed. I asked the House of Commons Library to dig into the figures and our analysis shows Northern Ireland will get £244 per head compared to £13 in the West Midlands – that’s more than 18 times as much funding.
I am dismayed by government plans to cut school budgets in Hodge Hill by a total of over £13.7 million between now and 2020.
Residents identified the fight against crime and drugs, improving the NHS and employment for younger people as their top local priorities.
Washwood Heath, Shard End and Bordesley Green wards requested that their residents' meeting address the issue of crime and drugs. Respondents from Bordesley Green requested a meeting on street cleaning.
