Quote: ”^England has lost a decade” – those were the words of public health expert Professor Michael Marmot on launching his review of health inequalities, ten years on from the government’s original report.
Marmot says in the introduction to his latest report, published today, that “austerity will cast a long shadow over the lives of the children born and growing up under its effects”.
These include persistently high rates of child poverty, ethnic and class inequalities in school attainment, school exclusions, and youth crime.”^End quote

Our PM has declared that we are entering a 'Golden Age'. How confident are you that the same Government that delivered Austerity will now deliver this 'Golden Age'?
How did you vote and why today
Sometimes it’s just the small things that press the bruise isn’t it? 😢
Voting. I’m so glad we still have the ‘old fashioned’ system…
