Some perspective. 47 Labour MPs voted against Blair's benefit cuts in 1997 (for single parents) and another 100 abstained. One minister and two PPSs resigned...today's threatened revolt looks quite small in comparison....
She must be gifted.
First a peerage and now a plum job. Why does Boris Johnson keep promoting [Baroness] Charlotte Owen ? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/677...

Governmentâs bill would prevent the 92 remaining peers who inherited their titles from sitting in upper chamber
In 2016 your council provided a submission to the 'Reporting and Acting on Child Abuse and Neglect' consultation. Let's hope some learning has been undertaken at RMC in the last 8 yrs bc the anti-MR responses are flawed and few if any can be supported with evidence drive.google.com/file/d/1SIxM...
There's a small hope that a step-change improvement can occur but the Govt faces the same challenges that saw the last sit on its hands. IICSA's MR proposals were risible. Presented wth empirical evidence of the effectiveness of well-designed MR of CSA, IICSA ignored it. audio.com/tom-perry/au...
