Autumn statement: The government ’ s actions must match its rhetoric
Public services are under unprecedented pressure. Eight years on from the financial crisis, they remain starved of resources, with staff under constant pressure to achieve more with less.
NHS patients are waiting longer than they should for crucial services. The challenge of social care remains unresolved. Youth centres are closing.
The education system faces an exodus of support staff, 30% of community policing jobs have been lost and hundreds of libraries have closed.

Chancellor should use £2.4bn in unallocated business rates to ease the care funding crisis, says UNISON

Theresa May is not a foolish politician: she knows exactly what she is doing
Today, we saw a new prime minister set out her vision for the country. It was a classic reminder that while fine words matter, they are meaningless without deeds to back them up.
