Good to see this today on @UKLabour plans for employment support: https://t.co/HhsdJk3itC
I'm a bit of a bore on this stuff but I think this is welcome and the right priorities.
Lots of things need to go right tho. Quick🧵on some of them: culture, capabilities, systems etc...

📢I have watched/read/listened to a lot of discussion from all political parties since election has been announced BUT there has been very little mention of mental health.

There is no health without mental health

This is 2024

Let's prioritise mental health & save lives

🤡 @GBNEWS Presenters Laugh at Thousands Dying From Climate Change

📺 On air with Andrew Pierce and @beverleyturner, our spokesperson Alex De Koning spelled it our for the pundits — thousands of people are dying worldwide today as a direct result of climate change.

[Dr. Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron]

2030 is now 80 months away.

Each remaining month is 1.25% of the time we have left to reduce global emissions to 45% below to 2010 levels -which the IPCC say is necessary to stay below 1.5C

Currently, we're ~20% above 2010 levels & still headed in the wrong direction 😬

From April, Universal Credit will be set at £85 a week for a single adult, but there’s a significant gap between this and living costs. Our research shows that in order to cover the essentials, it must be increased to at least £120 a week. https://t.co/RsUwJcIP0P

I've been mapping the new 2021 census occupational class data to track gentrification in London and Manchester. There's some really interesting results, some expected, some surprising-

Huge decline in people accessing Jobcentre Plus. From 60% of those unemployed 20 yrs ago, to now 20%. We need a big rethink about employment support services, esp. with unemployment rising. New Commission launched today by @EmploymtStudies @finan_fairness https://t.co/9o5Zcc21Dy
