If there really are only 2 types of people in the world, is it those who would rewind a rental VHS, & those who wouldn't?

[Dai Powell @Dai_HCT]

@MilliganTweets Thanks Pauline, all good, the purpose has to be to make the world better…thanks for your support.

[Dai Powell @Dai_HCT]

Very sad, difficult times. But to all the people who worked so hard to create great impact, to all HCT supporters in the #SocEnt family, to everyone who made the 40 years possible a big thank you is deserved. It couldn’t have happened without you all.

[Peter Holbrook @peteholbrook]

Terribly sad news, and thoughts go out to all those affected. The impacts of these harsh economic circumstances are evident everywhere. Let’s remember the vast impact created over decades. #SocEnt transport giant HCT announces closure https://t.co/7qPlbnlRhv via @Pioneerspost

But is it social investment into social enterprises or impact investment t into commercial enterprises. All good but be clear on honest.

@bmay Pure class

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 74% of the new cabinet are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society. We'll hear a lot about diversity over the coming few days but diversity which doesn't account for social class is meaningless

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

In Darlington y’day I announced plans to restore power, ownership and contribution to our communities.

A new Community Right to Buy will be a first step towards greater financial autonomy for our towns, villages and cities and give local people power over things that matter.
