Given that there are people in #Downingstreet with past connections to #Resolutionfoundation - most notably #vidhyaalakeson and #baronessshafik - there is at least some hope that note will be taken of this!

It s remarkable just how many people around #starmer spent time at the #Resolutionfoundation - officially non-partisan and with a #conservative former minister - #davidwilletts - as its chair. #torstenbell , #minoucheshafik , #vidhyaalakeson are obvious examples but I must confess to having encountered #rachelreeves at a meeting organised by it a few years back. My impression was that they were particularly concerned at working age poverty and ready to increase tax if necessary!
