Byrne saying how proud Street’s mother (who he lost to Covid) would be & AS thanking him, sends a vital message. Political rivals can treat one another with respect, even kindness. For talented people who fear entering politics, seeing such small examples of humanity is crucial.

This has done me in. When those who seek political or ideological purity argue their cause is a moral one, show them this. If this isn’t the definition of morality, I genuinely don’t know what is. And if Joe Biden makes it - it’s this kind of decency back in the WH.

Sure Start could have been embedded in the national psyche like the NHS, as a jewel in our crown. It is a crying shame we didn’t get there. It should have been untouchable.

Sure Start, one of England’s biggest early years progs, delivered long-lasting health benefits for children through to teenage years. The savings from reduced hospitalisations up to age 15 offset around 31% of spending on the programme.
