I don't buy into the narrative of #localgov in decline. To the contrary, in my 15 years here working in and for the sector, I've seen us develop new strengths. Grateful to @themjcouk for giving me a chance to share why I think the next Government should lean on us.

The MJ’s series on building a new vision for #localgov, continues as @PialiDG reflects on why councils' achievements 'position us well to help an incoming government, whoever forms it, tackle the most challenging inbox in a generation'. ➡️bit.ly/4c2mXfc - free to read

Millions of people are living on empty. Our advice can't help them the way it used to. We've reached a tipping point. Over half the people @CitizensAdvice help in debt can't cover the basic cost of living, even after our expert advice.

“Low pay means care workers are having no choice but to leave the sector, creating vacancies and adding pressure to those still working in care, adding to the vicious cycle.” 🗣️@DJAFothergill Thank you @sianushka for highlighting our concerns on the #FutureofASC.

There are now 165,000 vacancies in social care - but what can we expect when "care work is not a reliable route out of poverty". bylinetimes.com/2022/10/11/car… Thank you @WomensBudgetGrp & @LGAcomms for your insightful comments @BylineTimes

Did Boris Johnson just take credit for fixing social care? It doesn’t look very fixed to me.


13 weeks and counting @FitbitSupport - ionic recall. #pleasehelp


It’s been 10 weeks since I deactivated my @FitbitUK Ionic - still waiting for my refund - different story every time I call. Please can you help @FitbitSupport?
