The final episode of this series is now out where I talk to Kirsty Thomas from Make Bank, a social project addressing creative poverty, about their work, arts education in schools, and working with working class communities as someone who is middle class open.spotify.com/episode/2ZO…

And lets not forget that this shocking figure only captures what can be counted - so many not captured in the figures. How did #poverty become normalised? @policyvoicemacc @LocalMattersUoM @TheTutorTrust @EducationUoM @AWCAcademics @WhatIsYourWork1 @julianskyrme
Manchester has the third highest child poverty rate in the country at 44.7%. This is unacceptable. The voluntary, community and social enterprise sector plays a crucial role in supporting people in poverty but without real structural change, this level of poverty will continue

Just take a minute to read the post below, from a Rail Worker, that gives a different perspective to the hyperbole being flung out by HMG's client journalists...
Three years ago we accepted a 0% pay rise, two years ago we accepted a 0% pay rise. But this year they came to us 1/

Growing pervasive narrative from bourgeois left removing the politics of class by removing the concept of working class. Re-packaging class politics from their middle class position putting themselves at the front & centre. Our class enemy has many faces
