Make sure to meet up with Jeremy and my colleagues if you’re at #NCASC22 this year to hear about the great work we’re doing across the country.

On my way with the @IMPOWERconsult team to set up at #NCASC22 in Manchester. Very excited to be lead sponsor at the biggest gathering of social care leaders for 3 years!

Fascinating afternoon ⁦@MuseumofLondon⁩ including seeing the smashed guitar from the front cover of London Calling

[NCASC @ncasc26]

Our sponsors @IMPOWERconsult have been working hard behind the #ncasc22 scenes on co-producing physical spaces and content that features the voice of those with lived experience, a strong theme of this year’s event.

[Manchester City Council @ManCityCouncil]

With the help of @IMPOWERconsult, we've launched a #2022OurYear Legacy Fund to enrich the lives of children and young people in Manchester. 🎉

The fund will be used to create more experiences, opportunities, and support for local youngsters.

What’s remarkable about this (admittedly very short) leadership race is that despite the fact the situation for the country is so grave, nearly all of it is seen and articulated through prism of the future Conservative Party itself. Almost no discussion of wider policy at all.

@TomBSpencer @NFL @chargers @SoFiStadium Looks amazing. Not jealous at all.

Being the digital verger for the first time ⁦@ighthamchurch⁩ today. Luckily I had some help!

This is really depressing reading. Local government has cut so much in the last 12 years. Trying to cut whatever proportion it gets of this will be impossible

[Chris Giles @ChrisGiles_]

Have to be a bit rough and ready - but this is my view of the public finances -

These are very large spending cuts and potentially not credible

@maxrushden My decorator worked on the house next door to Bobby Zamora. Is that close enough?

The Wikipedia poll summary graph for this Parliament is quite something right now.
