Denver gave homeless people $1,000 a month, no strings attached. A year later:
*45% secured housing
*Taxpayers saved $590k because of fewer visits to the hospital, jail and shelters
*People used the money on groceries, rent, hygiene, clothes and transportation
*Mental health improved and they could spend more time with their kids and grandkids

Amazing what happens when you give people a chance

Hi @SarahSalts please come and talk to our marcoms students about media planning and AI

[Philip Holden @PRHwestminster]

I'm afraid this is innumerate and ignorant. I'm also afraid that this is the Conservative way. Cut, cut, cut, don't invest, point out arbitrary 'under-performance' and cut more.
If in doubt, legislate to make something illegal.

Kay: Which courses would be deemed Mickey Mouse degrees under a Tory Govt?

Education Minister @DamianHinds : It's not for politicians to point to this one or that one

Kay: That's exactly what you're doing...

Really rather pleased that @jonronson has been recognised by @UniWestminster with an honorary DLL. Richly deserved for his humane voice in this crazy world.

Intriguing figures and lovely visualisation

[Philip Holden @PRHwestminster]

A crazy, short-sighted view.
We may as well merge all post 92 universities and call them the Nowhere In Particular Business School.

[Music at Brookes @musicatbrookes]

We are sad to share with you the news that Oxford Brookes University has decided to close its music department. Below a statement from the music team - we are all devastated.

[Philip Holden @PRHwestminster]

I can't decide if this is good for FedEx or not. Is it better or worse than Castaway was? I suspect worse.

Brilliant to welcome (back) Lorenda and Zoe to Westminster. Both former students, both great ambassadors for @CrowdDNA Lovely also to meet Emily!

What a silly idea.

@MrTomGray @easyJet @easylife The issue is using images that suggest a commercial relationship without the permission of the brand owner.
The band just needs to say sorry and that they won't use easyJet images in the future.
easyJet needs to, well, take it easy.

@BRappy55 @michaelmiraflor @BetterPitchGuy And as soon as it ceases being a novelty, and hence newsworthy, advertisers will drive down the price.
Will the owners mind it being dark for much of the year?
It's also a massive target...

[Philip Holden @PRHwestminster]

Fascinating. But I'm pretty sure a Stratford version is a bad idea.
