Nigel was such a wonderful, funny and kind man who I worked with for many years - what a tragic loss. He campaigned tirelessly for people affected by dementia and I had all the time for him. I hope his next of kin can be found and he can rest in peace 💙

The launch of Bath and NE Somerset Older People’s Voice yesterday with a packed room (we could have filled it twice over) and older people holding officials to account on issues like transport and housing and being clear that older people want to be a part of their local community.

I just want to say that we have been inundated with incredible offers for help and advice. Matthew has met 2 BlueSkyers this evening & came away buzzing with confidence. We now have a former Oxford Law lecturer lined up to do a mock interview with him 🤯🥲 THANK YOU ❤️🤗
The situation: My hardworking stepson has been offered an interview for Law at Oxford. He is the only applicant at his large comprehensive to apply & achieve this. The school cannot help him prepare 😭 Can anyone here offer to help/ chat to him? Msg below & I will follow for DM 🙏🏾🤞🏾

Calm down.

This is far too measured and sensible for either Times readers or X, but may go down better here.

Anyway it is very good...

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says.

The budget blamed but there are other factors.

Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010.

Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

With new figures showing that more than one in three children in the UK are now living in poverty, with deprivation hitting a record high, it's good to see the Times focusing on the people who are really struggling

Heartbreaking and angry. We need a rounded approach where communities can support als, but finding they also need support to know how to support others but they are not sure how.
This is awful & heartbreaking. Schoolchildren from struggling families have pretended to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food.

Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government
