'It's not good enough...supply hasn't kept up with demand'
Here's Liverpool City Region mayor (and former stay-at-home dad) Steve Rotheram @LCRMayor telling @AnnieGouk about the local and national lack of affordable childcare

👪 Affordable, high-quality childcare is essential for any thriving community.
🗣️ Steve spoke to @NorthernAgenda_ about the impact of rising childcare costs and staff shortages on families and the economy.
🤝 We have launched a regional masterplan to tackle this issue.

My family experienced real hardship, I know how it feels, so as North East Mayor, I’ll never set a target that leaves any child behind.
Great to talk to @RobParsonsNorth and @AnnieGouk about our ambitious plans, including our Child Poverty Reduction Unit- the first in the UK.
🚨There's a new episode of The Northern Agenda's Our Kids In The North podcast
@AnnieGouk and I focus on the North East and ask the question: will creating high-skilled jobs solve the region's child poverty crisis?
Featuring mayor @KiMcGuinness and @Paul_Lindley

This is a shocking graphic from @AnnieGouk featured in our podcast Our Kids In The North.
A massive rise in the last 30 years in the number of Northern children in poverty despite having at least one parent in work.
Whatever happens to making work pay?

Great to be back in the studio with @RobParsonsNorth doing some recording for a new series of the @NorthernAgenda_ podcast! Watch this space 👀
Congrats to my colleagues @dubasfisher, @_CullenWillis, @RichardCEAult and @pdgallagher who were Highly Commended in the Innovation category at the @pressgazette #BritishJournalismAwards last night 🙌
The annual report from @Shelter on the number of people who will be homeless this Christmas is stark reading - at least 354,000 people in England, including 161,500 children, will spend the holidays without a home. I've mapped the local figures below

For #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities, my colleague @RichardCEAult found thousands of disabled people in the UK could be eligible for benefits without even knowing it - with fewer than half claiming in some parts of the country

Some interesting data out today from @CentreforCities, suggesting Labour are going to miss their 2029 housebuilding target by at least 388,000 homes. The shortfall is forecast to be largest in big metropolitan areas - I've mapped the local figures below 👇

Great data graphic by @Meme_Marianna on the average cost of Christmas dinner. How much are you going to be spending this year?

Very proud to have been involved in this special project by @myldn on the rise of rough sleeping in London - it's an incredible piece of work that really brings to life the stories behind the capital's homelessness crisis
homelessoflondon.mylondon.ne…
The data speaks for itself - figures from CHAIN show rough sleeping has more than doubled over the last 10 years, and the number of people dying while homeless has also been on the rise (#dataviz by @Meme_Marianna)
This project goes beyond the data to show the humans behind the stats, with amazing reporting from @cudlum, @Luke_Donnelly99, @H_Galliven1, @journojakeh, @AdamToms3 and @AdrianZorzut, and frankly fantastic photography by @facundoarriz (with site design and build by @renduh)
It was great to speak to @sheffjournalism students at @sheffielduni about #datajournalism yesterday - hopefully inspiring the next generation of data nerds!
