Please note that due do technical difficulties the last couple of minutes of this event are not included in the recording. November 13th 2025 The Budget run-in has centred around what taxes the Chancellor will need to raise to meet her fiscal rules. But housing could potentially play an equally decisive role. Ambitious planning reform could deliver the economic growth that Britain so desperately needs, the current mess of property taxation is ripe for reform, and better support for families in rented accommodation could raise living standards and reduce child poverty. Successive governments have failed to grapple with Britain's housing challenges, but can the Chancellor afford not to grasp it? How can planning reform be strengthened, and what might it mean for growth? How much appetite is there for touching the terrible twin taxes of stamp duty and council tax? And how should housing feature in the Government's new Child Poverty strategy that will sit alongside the Budget?

In a new report 'Measuring Access to Opportunity in the United States: A 10-Year Update,' The Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) notes that child poverty reduction has proved readily responsive to federal and state policy choices. The percentage of children living in poverty fell to a historic low of 5% in 2021, even as COVID slowed the economy, because programs like the expanded Child Tax Credit supported families. When these programs were wound down, even as the economy recovered, the child poverty rate rose, reaching 13% by 2024. Leslie Boissiere joins EconoFact Chats to discuss the report, highlighting the long-run economic and social costs of childhood poverty, and the role of public policy in addressing this problem. Leslie is the Vice President for External Affairs at the Annie E. Casey Foundation. She oversees the foundation's KIDS COUNT effort, as well as the areas of policy reform and advocacy, strategic communications, organizational effectiveness, and national partnerships.

Our guest today, Alex Beer, joins us at a critical time as the UK Government prepares to publish its child poverty strategy this autumn. According to official numbers, there are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK and 1.1m children are in families that have used a food bank in the past year.  The Nuffield Foundation launched a major new Strategic Review earlier this summer committing £30 million annually over the next five years to fund research and innovation that addresses some of the UK's most urgent social and economic challenges. Read more about it here (https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/news/nuffield-foundation-announces-150-million-funding-commitment-to-tackle-uks-biggest-social-challenges)  As Assistant Director of Strategy at the Nuffield Foundation, Alex's role is to develop and deliver programmes of work that deliver the strategy and improve social wellbeing in the UK. In this conversation with Will, Alex shares some evidence-backed policy suggestions for alleviating child poverty, which includes changes to the two-child limit and the benefit cap, but also emphasises the importance of taking a holistic approach.  In the We Society, join acclaimed journalist and Academy President Will Hutton, as he invites guests from the world of social science to explore the stories behind the news and hear their solutions to society's most pressing problems.

The number in children experiencing enforced deprivation has increased from 200,000 to 257000 between 2021 and 2023, while the number of children homeless with their families has increased by 87% since 2021, yet we have billions in Budget Surplus. We discuss how the lifting of the eviction ban resulted in an increase in children and families in homelessness and the on-going cost of living crisis for families, the failure of government to implement targeted measures, and the public support for new initiatives from free school books to school meals. We highlight the need to continue to hold the ambition and hope to end child poverty and child and family homelessness. Support Rory and Dignity for Palestine:https://www.patreon.com/posts/111983961

Child poverty in the US has tripled in just a few years. Clearly this must be unrelated to the billions of dollars of support for Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, or the fact that the US will now be spending a whopping $1.6bn on anti-China propaganda, because that's what people are really struggling without... Meanwhile, several large strikes are popping off, not least of all one at Boeing where more than 30,000 machinists are sick and tired of corporate profits over safety and worker benefit.    leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

Assassination attempts, conspiracy theories and a MAGA Prince Harry costume. How can Hannah and Mickey cram all the drama of the US election into one BT? Well, they give it their best shot, no pun intended.  And for Sexism of the Week, Mickey's been on the Zoom with journalist, broadcaster and author Terri White. Terri's podcast series, Finding Britain's Ghost Children, quite rightly scooped a whole load of awards and she has continued to bang the drum on how appalling the UK is when it comes to child poverty – 30% of our kids live below the breadline. One huge driver of this is the two-child cap, which Labour has not pledged to scrap. Terri tells Mick why it needs to go immediately if not sooner, talks about the devastating effects it's having, and explains why it's very much a feminist issue. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show' with Charles Coleman Jr. who is sitting in for Jonathan Capehart this weekend: from fawning over Donald Trump at his 78th birthday party, to giving him a hero's welcome on Capitol Hill, just steps away from where he incited an insurrection, Congressional Republicans make it clear it's Trump's party now. We'll discuss that with Congressman Robert Garcia, plus how Congress will react to the Supreme Court's controversial decision on gun bump stocks. Then, the feud that made Milwaukee famous. The city's mayor claps back in a new interview, after Donald Trump reportedly calls the host city of the Republican convention "horrible." And what could be the last hope for justice for the survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre ended as the Oklahoma State Supreme Court dismissed their lawsuit for reparations. The attorney for those survivors, Damario Solomon-Simmons, will explain what could come next. All that and more on “The Saturday Show” with guest host Charles Coleman Jr.
