Good luck to all Fabians who are standing for election today! Make sure to get out and vote before polls close at 10pm - and remember to bring photographic ID.
Really interesting report out from @thefabians. If we want to see essential markets which really work for everyone there are some bold changes needed. Great to see practical ideas like social tariffs, consumer duties and statutory consumer advocates at the heart of this report.

This year marks the Fabian Society's 140th anniversary. To celebrate, we asked Fabians past and present to reflect on its contributions. Read the second instalment, featuring @AnasSarwar @LJDLabour @LordBlunkett @kirstyjmcneill fabians.org.uk/onwards-and-up…

5. If sceptical ministers demand an evidence base on extra costs they may regret it. Impressive Scope research a few years back found disabled people mainly face HIGHER extra costs than the disability benefits they receive to compensate
4. Universal benefits to help with extra costs of disability have had cross party support since 1970s. Are Tories really trying to ditch that principle and replace it with patchwork of local grants & vouchers?
3. Tightening eligibility rules won’t reduce claims with that health context. When PIP was introduced Conservative ministers expected successful claims to fall. They didn’t. Fundamental Tory scepticism about incidence of sickness and disability proved wrong
Thoughts on PIP 1. we have rising disability & economic inactivity because of a health crisis caused by poverty, unhealthy lifestyles, under regulation & failing public services 2. Not helped by rise in state pension age (see April @thefabians report) on.ft.com/3JHVN0h

Great new report from Ben here - a series of practical interventions to reduce the cost of essentials and improve living standards
🚨NEW REPORT🚨 Cost Cutters, launched by @thefabians, sets out how to tackle the cost of living crisis for low-income families It includes A ‘Cutting Costs’ plan, saving £220 per yr An energy social tariff, saving £340 per yr Improvements to regulators fabians.org.uk/publication/co…
Really interesting report out from @thefabians. If we want to see essential markets which really work for everyone there are some bold changes needed. Great to see practical ideas like social tariffs, consumer duties and statutory consumer advocates at the heart of this report.
The cost of living crisis is unprecedented in living memory – and low income families are the worst affected by failing markets. This is the poverty premium, and it affects 1/4 of UK households.
"People on the lowest incomes are affected most. They even pay higher prices for essential goods and services because they have a low income." Great to see coverage of @thefabians & @BenCooper1995 report on the poverty premium in @LabourList today. labourlist.org/2024/04/cost-l…
Delighted to see this report by @thefabians in partnership with @FairByDesign out today. Would be fantastic to see Government committing to get rid of the poverty premium which costs people on low incomes £444 a year on average...

Thank you to @trustforlondon for sharing @thefabians new report. Poverty amongst older Londoners has accelerated & is some of the worst in the country. Single pensioners that rely on just the State Pension & who also rent (in the social sector in particular) are the most affected
The number of over-60s in poverty has *trebled* since 2010. Important new report from @thefabians, with the state pension age set to increase to 67 by 2028.
The number of over-60s in poverty has *trebled* since 2010. Important new report from @thefabians, with the state pension age set to increase to 67 by 2028.
🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 The state pension age is scheduled to increase to 67 by 2028 – yet our new report has found that one in four 60-65 year olds live in poverty. @sasjkia finds the number of over-60s in poverty has TREBLED since the pension age started to increase in 2010. 🧵
Looking forward to the launch event for When I'm 64, a @thefabians report authored by @sasjkia. Read the recommendations to tackle poverty before the state pension age 👇 fabians.org.uk/publication/wh…
New timely @thefabians report on older workers by @sasjkia, which found that a quarter of people aged 60 to 65 live in poverty - the highest poverty rate of any age group. If we'll be working for a longer time, how do we make work work for all of us?
@thefabians @sasjkia Lord Victor Adebowale points to the antecedents of pre-pension poverty in the political decisions, decisions that undermine the fabric of society. Poverty costs the state more & is a driver of worse physical & mental health. Every £1 spent on the NHS contributes £4 to the economy
One in four 60-64 year olds in the UK are living in poverty… stark, urgent, important report from @thefabians
@sundersays @thefabians The Fabian Society holds a very special place in my heart and our movement. Now, at 140 years old, the very ideas we need might be yours. fabians.org.uk
We are pleased to announce that we will be launching our Homes for London pamphlet with contributions from across our capital, supported by our partners at @ConcilioComms, next week. Please join us from 7pm on Thursday 18th April at Fabian Society HQ on Petty France.
Received my copy of the Fabian Review, I'm in some brilliant company with contributers to the cover story celebrating 140 years of @thefabians!
