2 year-old Awaab Isaak died because the home he lived in was unfit for human habitation. His parents complained but were ignored.
This is not a one-off. Thousands of families are living in awful conditions.
This is just some what we’ve found in our 18 month investigation🧵1/16
More money (£1.5 billion) to build social homes, taking the total to £40 billion over the next decade.
The Chancellor said the Tories sold council housing, Labour is building them.
Not strictly true. New Labour continued Right to Buy. See stat below from my book ‘Left to Rot’:
Get in! Great win.
Isaac Price is some player. And well done James Morrison - utterly mad that anyone is even beginning to doubt him. What a job he’s doing. #wba

EXCLUSIVE 🗞️- Britain’s economic watchdog, the OBR, is concerned that it may have to revise down the boost to GDP it had attached to Labour’s flagship planning reforms and 1.5 million new homes target.
The OBR has invited housing market experts in for meetings in a bid to “understand why the housing market is underperforming” so badly.
This will be a blow to the government and signals the state of our housing market amid worsening economic headwinds including inflation and higher mortgage rates which, in their defence, are neither Labour’s fault nor entirely within their control.
It also raised questions about the OBR’s initial forecast which experts have told me was optimistic at best.

Not necessarily his best 11 but the one he trusts the most in a game like this. Solid.

So much hurt in his voice. Is this what trauma sounds like? That 5-1 at their place really messed them up didn’t it? #wba

Exc: Louise Casey, head of the commission on adult social care in England:
-“Mistake” to allow so much privatisation of care sector
-“Profiteering” firms make money off backs of disabled ppl
-Would ban foriegn entities owning UK care homes
My interview: youtu.be/EizVSY52Uyk
A short preview of our interview with Baroness Casey.
The NHS is failing people with learning disabilities and hospitals are 'unable to sufficiently treat and look after' them, says Baroness Louise Casey, the head of the government’s commission into adult social care.
In an exclusive interview with ITV News, Baroness Casey heavily criticised NHS treatment and attitudes, and said caring for people with learning disabilities is seen as a 'burden' by some health professionals, who 'do not see them' and 'do not hear them'.

Exc: I sat down with Baroness Casey, the woman tasked with fixing social care in England, to talk about the state of the care system with some hints (I think) at what she could recommend to @andyburnham.
Some of it could sound like music to the PM’s ears itv.com/news/2026-09-17/case…

Good point Albion against a very tidy QPR. Morrison had to rest key players, and as always made the right subs at the right time as the game started to drift away from us 2nd half. Styles great again, as was Phillips. O’Leary gets better and better. Nice glimpses of Collyer. #wba

I’ve spent several years investigating education in Wales.
Following this week's disastrous PISA results, we've made an @itvnews special reflecting on how Wales got here.
The choices that reshaped our schools, the concerns over what children learn, and the fear things could get even worse.
