As we all enjoy the political drama, an important reminder here from @Samfr that regardless of who the PM is in a few months' time there will still be 4.3 million children living in poverty in the UK - many as a direct result of government policies over the last decade.
While the Tory leadership saga continues - there are huge systemic national problems that any future PM is going to have to face. The rapid increase in poverty being one of the worst. Thought I'd do a thread on the Joseph Rowntree report on poverty published yesterday....

#COP26 will guide how the world addresses climate change for years to come. We want to make sure smallholder farmers, who are some of the most affected by the climate crisis, aren’t forgotten during these discussions. Click 👇🏽 to support our #FoodHeroes! climate.oneacrefund.org
Some of the people who are most affected by climate change are smallholder farmers. With 95% of farms in sub Saharan Africa being rain fed, too much or too little rain directly affects how much food they can grow. Victoria, one of the farmers we serve in Iringa, Tanzania… 1/3
Interesting thread this. Alok Sharma spot on that if climate finance is not additional (coincidentally >0.5) the UK's COP role will be badly undermined
But pressure on PM Told by Whitehall source there’s disquiet in FCO over budget cuts while Alok Sharma, COP chief, concerned failure to honour 0.7% makes it harder to get developing countries to sign up to emission targets. Hear Sharma into No 10 today for meeting with PM 2/
