@paulawoodman1 @CommonCapitaI It so is. Reread Dan’s design brief recently and still has me cracking up

What were the factors behind the rise and decline of the #NHS in England between 2000 and 2020? Our new report written by @profchrisham is out now https://t.co/oIFyzY3bWg

Food banks are facing their most challenging winter yet. That's why I have donated to @TrussellTrust's emergency appeal to help keep food banks going during this crisis.

Please join me and help provide emergency support to people facing hardship 👉 https://t.co/UOcWTswlfq

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

Nurses' pay? Making nurses and other public sector workers poorer is continuation of a trend. We seem to want an economy that tolerates, perhaps encourages, poverty in low paid workers. It's wrong-headed. To get the economy to grow, increase incomes of the poorest 60%.

Our co-founders @MarkHepworthTGE and @SarahForster_SA also visited Dunoon Grammar this summer as part of a Place-Based Impact Investing project initiation with @DunoonProject. They were hugely impressed by everything the School does to secure positive futures for young people!

I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

There's a danger in what happened in the past three weeks since the mini-budget. That is that in the coming years, Chancellors of whatever stripe run scared of the bond markets, thinking they'll tolerate nothing other than 'balancing the books.'

[Wildlife Photographer of the Year @NHM_WPY]

Congratulations to Junji Takasago (Japan), our winner of the Natural Artistry category.

Framing the choreography of a preening group of Chilean flamingos within the reflected clouds, he fought back his altitude sickness to capture this dream-like scene. #WPY58

Me in The Mirror this morning - taking Truss on and suggesting she hasn’t a hope in hell of delivering growth https://t.co/MZjMXbVPzi

[Sarah Forster @SarahForster_SA]

@jester It's not invented the Standard for itself. The Standard was developed through a consultative process involving over 400 participants from the housing sector, financial institutions and experts. You are very welcome to get involved too

[Sarah Forster @SarahForster_SA]

@jester Hi Jess - thanks for your comments. TGE acts as the Technical Secretariat for the SRS. We are launching the consultation to update and improve it (SRS Version 2) so this is a timely thread. Would be good to talk!

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Today's mini-budget will only increase inequality and poverty.
Tax cuts handed to the richest 10%
Govt’s borrowing to surge from £72.4bn to £234.1bn
Imagine the economic growth if the money was instead used to alleviate poverty, build infrastructure.
