It’s a £10 billion scandal. @ukonward has investigated the extra payments that welfare claimants can receive because of their eligibility for their regular benefits, known as passported benefits. For the first time, we reveal the shocking cost - and how it disincentivises work.

Earlier this year, myself and @LRFredricks wrote for @ukonward about the scandal of how few permanent driving bans are handed out to those who kill or seriously injure others with their cars. This is a problem that @lfg_uk have also repeatedly highlighted.…
NEW: Peter Doyle, the man who intentionally drove into a crowd of people earlier this year, has NOT been banned from driving for life. In May, Doyle drove straight into fans at the Liverpool victory parade. Accelerating, he crushed prams and ran over adults and children in a…
For @WorksInProgMag, I argue South Korea's ultra-low birth rates are down to policy and cultural choices. 1. South Korea waged a long-running population control campaign that successfully averted around 2 million births (not fully abandoned until the 1990s).

I’m about to go on paternity leave, which is very exciting! But our broken social contract means not everyone can afford as many children as they want. I explore the impact of Britain’s ultra expensive housing in my final @CityAM column of 2025👇 cityam.com/in-ponzi-schem…

When well-meaning regulations kill viable schemes, London's housing crisis gets even worse for young families. @UKOnward latest report, Towering Ambitions, argues that Purpose Built Young Professional Accommodation can ease the pressure.
Very exciting to see such an ambitious, common sense vision for Canning Town here from @lukerobertblack👇
