Very excited that my book, Cracking Social Mobility, has been ref'd in new report on innovation by Tony Blair and @WilliamJHague from @InstituteGC

If young people simply need to save more to get on the property ladder - by giving up nights out and holidays - how come lockdown didn’t result in an influx of homeowners?
It was great to chat to Dr @MutluCukurova about how AI can enhance collaborative learning, as part of @Jisc's AI in education: pedagogy first podcast series

The first podcast from the @Jisc AI in Education: Pedagogy First series, in which I spoke with @scottdhayden about how AI can enable personalised learning (in part through freeing up teachers' time).
@Jisc has published its AI Map - https://t.co/Sbw1dywOJP - a tool to help visualise where/what AI innovation is taking place across UK colleges and universities.

@justadiver1999 @Backpainandwine Agree with both points. Would also point out, with tongue in cheek, that the childless and those with kids are currently taxed...so maybe let's stick to the status quo on this one
Millennials and young people are keeping very very little of their incomes at present, through a mixture of tax hikes and rent. And no one seems to care about this. Do we not matter? Or is our destiny to be the nation's wallet?
@SchoolsWeek@Jeffery_Quaye I agree with most of this, but don't think it captures the essence of SM. SM should be thought of as what we'd see in society if background was as irrelevant as the day of the week on which you were born. As part of that we'd see long and short range social mobility.
There’s nothing to celebrate about a #rentersreform bill. Your landlord can no longer make you homeless? Great - it’s almost like this is the bare minimum for a developed society. Don’t be taken in by it. We deserve homes. That’s the issue.
Ps. Tories you haven’t put this to bed.
@johnredwood What's wrong with building homes? Conservative ideology tells young people that hard work pays off. But actually it goes towards landlords - because of refusal to build. What formula are we supposed to follow to have some long-term stability? Or do we not matter compared to land?
@Samfr Hull was due to the council's poor execution of LTN . I'll admit LDs perform locally. Nationally, however, they are focussed on wealthy Blue Wall voters - not addressing inequalities.
Zero fees not necessarily progressive. 9k fees definitely regressive.
@ArtBear1000@Samfr Fair. But my argument is that LD know they can claim whatever they like in their manifestos because they - unlike T and L - will never be the senior party of Govt.
So there's no point using their current manifesto pledges to demonstrate how progressive they are.
