My The Independent piece today calls on Labour to regain its political edge by focusing on young people. The next generation will bear the biggest economic and social consequences of the pandemic. We must restart social mobility to avoid a lost generation. independent.co.uk/voices/keir-st…

Thank you to @RidgeOnSunday, Trevor Phillips for vitally important coverage of the educational divide, featuring our new data. Alan Milburn: "the faith is pretty low... the system isn't taking into account the effect the pandemic has had on the poorest".

"Parts of the country are doing really well, and some have fallen behind." Former chair of the Social Mobility Commission, Alan Milburn, says 'the problem is that levelling up is a political slogan where what is needed is real policy'. #Phillips: trib.al/Y9ec9Xn

NEW: Our advocacy and campaigns arm, Department for Opportunities, has identified a shocking #ClassPayGap. Professionals from working-class backgrounds are being paid an average of £6,718 less than peers from middle-class backgrounds. theguardian.com/inequality/202…

Many of Britain's workplaces share a shameful secret. There is a class pay gap of almost £7,000 between professionals from working-class backgrounds and their more privileged peers. It is economically savvy and morally right to close the #ClassPayGap. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
