2nd of November, 20 degrees & sunshine —
bliss ☀️🇮🇹

@se_kip I thought you exactly the same this morning (assuming you’re referring to the interview re the budget). What’s the added a value of that super confrontational approach, with no space for genuine discussion? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Arianna Giovannini @AriannaGi]

@Rosie_Lockwood 100% 😅🤣🤣🤣

🎯spot on from @profgviesti on risks of implementing differentiated reg autonomy without a clear roadmap: if gvmt keeps shifting goalposts (eg on essential levels of public service delivery) inequalities will widen, creating 1st & 2nd class citizens depending on region they’re in

BAMBINI DI SERIE B

Il governo ha deciso che non vale più per tutti il diritto (LEP) al il 33% di posti in asilo nido rispetto al numero di bambini piccoli.
