@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @FraserNelson said Boris Johnson can look forward to making a lot of money on the international speakers circuit following his office, in the @spectator podcast yesterday. Can this really be true?!? Can’t believe it given the undignified demise, but know nothing about landscape.

Thank you @PregnantScrewed for highlighting this. My husband had to leave after the birth of our son. Being by myself for days as a first time mum after a difficult delivery has definitely left its mark. And so many women had it much, much worse.

2/3 In US, charter schools motivate pupils by saying “everyone’s going to college” but this doesn’t always translate well to UK context. Could #LevellingUp usher in new era in which govt uses power of state to stimulate local labour markets? How might this impact on education?

[Loic Menzies @LoicMnzs]

1/3 Too often when we look at what jobs are available for young people we think about the ‘supply of skills for employers’.
- But what about the supply of opportunities *for young people* and the impact this has on educational engagement?

There is (appropriately) zero basis for a referendum on Net Zero. It was in all the major parties manifestos; it is not a constitutional issue like Scottish independence or the EU referendum; and it commands strong majority support in polls.

A @PregnantScrewed survey of 500+ women who signed NDAs at various organisations showed that:
⁃89% felt they had no choice
⁃90% would have been happy for people to know what happened

@Channel4News - release women from their NDAs

@RichestManInLDN @Rapanuiclothing Would be great to get the item I ordered.

[Isabel Farchy @IsabelFarchy]

@RichestManInLDN Thanks @RichestManInLDN - @Rapanuiclothing can you please explain? I have just tracked my order and it says it was delivered to Leyton. I live in Stepney.

.@BorisJohnson If it goes ahead, #Cambo will produce climate pollution equal to 16 coal-fired power plants running for a year, creating yet more devastating climate destruction. If you’re serious about climate leadership, stop Cambo now #BorisStopCambo #COP26

This week we spoke to @IsabelFarchy from @CMNetwork_ about access to the creative industries.

Tomorrow 4.4 million households, with 5.1m adults and 3.5m children, will see their incomes fall by £1,000 overnight. For 1 million households that will mean an immediate loss of over 10% of their income as we take the basic rate of benefits to its lowest level since 1990

[Reasons Revisited @CheerfulPodcast]

New episode! Who gets on in modern Britain?

Out of sight, out of mind? Remote working has proven challenging for young women of colour who are struggling to network and find their feet in professional settings. They spoke their minds here: https://t.co/QnHPU0Ei4w

#OECD data shows the UK has 3rd most expensive childcare system, behind only Slovakia & Switzerland. I went back to work in March & the cost of childcare has been crippling. Who can afford it?!? Things need to change. Thnx @PregnantScrewed & @LexyTopping for this
