Did the #PoliticsLive chair remind Gove of his destruction of #SureStart? Not a hope in hell she'd do that.

“Brown halved the number of children living in poverty. His funding of #SureStart transformed lives: 2024 study found that children from low-income families who lived near a centre performed up to 3 grades better in their GCSEs than those who lived further away.”

Liam Conlon MP - #SureStart was one of the best things the past #LabourGovernment ever did and was dismantled by the Tories.
We need to invest in our children and the social infrastructure once more!

🌹 With Labour, the legacy of Sure Start is back.
We’re creating up to 1,000 Best Start Family Hubs to support half a million children.
The Tories cut over a third of Sure Start centres — Labour is rebuilding the support families deserve.

Why does a nation that believes people can change still lock up more people than almost anywhere in Europe?

It’s almost unbelievable that NO ONE on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social , when asked why numbers of EHCPs have exploded, says it might have anything to do with the Tory-Lib Dem govt closing down all the #SureStart centres, then remember the “panel” is 1 Tory peer & 2 parents of EHCP kids!

UK investment in the littlest residents/ citizens'early years opportunities&welfare isn't just vital for them&their families-enabling them to bounce into schools more geared up for learning&thriving-but is heroic paying-forward🌱
Principle-based leadership 🌟
(Not just grubbing for votes)

Never underestimate the capacity of the right-wing barbarians at the gate to destroy all that is good and decent in society.

Long economic reports are not the best things to post on social media for viral content but this one about the benefits of Sure Start from the IFS is certainly worth a read! #surestart #familyhubs

This is great news, although I suspect the government will get little credit. The axing of #SureStart under Cameron was of course mean and vindictive, but also a false economy in the long run.

Fascinating insights into #surestart from @theifs.bsky.social. Great at showing how hard it is to square different depts goals and to make things a consensus so they stick

We're living with the damaged lives that follow from it's destruction.
I pass centres we built, sold off and shut down and weep .
Brutal irrational dogma and Spite from Cummings and Gove.
Damaged lives take decades to heal .
The Social Care driven model doesn't work.

#SureStart generated a £2 saving for every £1 spent… Report from IFS states there is huge value in investing in early years (unsurprisingly). Shame that the Tories got rid…

#SureStart reduced the poverty gap - not a #Conservativepriority. Post-covid this gap is widening @teamlabouruk.bsky.social should bring it back.

The joy and benefits of Labour’s #SureStart programme 1999-2010 were extraordinary for #health, #education, and socialcare outcomes. Let’s do it again!
