I’m very proud to unveil the cover of my new book, Why I Care.
It’s been a pleasure talking to carers up and down the country, to help tell their stories as well as my own. We must bring caring out of the shadows.
You can preorder the book now, it’s out on 22nd May ➡️ linktr.ee/WhyICareBook

I was so pleased to meet the Nelson Trust in Bristol.
Their holistic preventative approach supports vulnerable women to rebuild their lives, many of whom have experienced the criminal justice system.
The evidence is clear: rehabilitation, not imprisonment, is the best way to reduce re-offending.

That must be one of the most Orwellian statements ever. It’s bad enough to cut people’s benefits. To pretend some kind of higher “moral” duty while you’re doing so is insulting and offensive
Ministers have 'moral' duty to cut benefits spending, Labour MPs say
Labour is anxious to reduce the rising welfare bill as it plans boosting defence spending at a time when the Chancellor is perilously short of extra cash

This headteacher knows “Improving speech and language is a foundation for everything.”
Two-thirds of children at risk of exclusion have speech and communication needs. My @london-vru.bsky.social is addressing this with oracy interventions in primary school.
In just one year, it has led to 98% of children narrowing the gap to their peers and 60% meeting vocabulary standards.

A new initiative aims to improve communication, as as pupils lacking speech and language skills more likely to be excluded and caught up in violence

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage.

Keir Starmer and his government are suffering from a crisis of confidence—in themselves and the public. The beneficiary is Nigel Farage, writes @carolinelucas.bsky.social.

The panic about too many people & too many of them being on benefits is misplaced.

One reason this could be is that when my kid is sick I no longer have to decide if I can get away with sending her to school anyway and risk getting called to pick her up or if I can let her recover in her bed.
