This is @andyratcliffe9, Danni's husband. I'm so so sad to have to say that Danni passed away last week after a long illness. Her funeral will take place on 9 October and the details are here: https://t.co/UNNarCi3rh
Please feel free to pass this on to others who knew Danni

Back of my Polling Card for local elections. For 1st time, photo ID is required. Card gives many options for elderly or those with disability. None, NONE, for younger or student voters. The policy is simply biased against younger voters, designed to suppress their vote.

NEW child poverty stats out today.

29% of children are growing up in poverty.
4.2 MILLION children.

That's a rise of 350,000.

Do you want to find solutions to society’s biggest problems? Have you considered working for a think tank?

To contribute to achieving greater representation, we have got together with similar organisations to hold a webinar for undergrads interested in working in the sector.

re: Stone Roses.

Bob Stanley's review of "the Stone Roses" is incredible.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Such important context for "levelling up". There is huge fiscal redistribution from London and South East to rest of England, because London and SE are so much richer. V tough challenge is to *reduce* that over long term by helping poorer areas get richer and more self sufficient

@GlastoFestFeed - any ideas on how I can resell non-refundable accommodation in Shepton Mallet for the festival weekend? #glastonbury2023 #Glastonbury

Blog on whether the Levelling Up Fund round 2 allocations are money well spent. According to the evidence, of course.

A couple of interesting ‘what works’ jobs going @CollegeofPolice and @YouthEndowFund

The 626 number should NOT be taken as a signal that LAs think IZs are a good idea. The way LAs get money (or not) means they have to play every game invented by govt. Even if its a daft game

@wunderhorse I want to listen to 'oprah winfrey' on repeat! Can I buy or stream it anywhere?

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Economic "orthodoxy" is not some strange belief system. It's an encapsulation of the knowledge drawn from decades of evidence based on experience of countries around the world. It needs testing and challenging, but experience tells us that simply dismissing it is dangerous indeed

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Worth repeating. Take all the tax changes coming in over next few years and:

If your income is < £155k, you lose

If your income is > £155k you win

If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000

[Thomas Pope @tompope0]

Useful reading ahead of the chancellor's announcement tomorrow, given plans for 'investment zones'. The @whatworksgrowth centre have done a comprehensive evidence review on 'local area initiatives'

Liz Truss has said her policy to slash public sector pay has been 'misinterpreted' but she will not be going ahead with the regional pay boards plan to pay workers in cheaper regions less than their counterparts in the capital and the south-east
