The idea that improving benefits "doesn't deal with the root causes of poverty" is one of the most perniciously bad ideas in politics. You know what's cut pensioner poverty in half over the last 25 years? Giving them more money!

Just had most glorious sunny day in York with @SnelsonH & Laura London . A huge treat - Snelson guided tours of Minster & Clifford's Tower & a relaxing lunch. It is a real blessing when your work gifts you friends. I'm so grateful for both these wonderful inspiring women.
