@FreeNow_UK taxi app is ridiculous. Got scammed this morning when driver turned up for prebooking then said he had puncture, drove away again but did not cancel so I was charged for full journey and had to pay for another cab to take my wife to hospital appointment!

[Tim West @tjhw]

@PioneersPost @dianabarran Agreed. I appreciate and learn from the “difficult women” in my life every day, whether it’s my wife or daughter (who both have more balls than me) or the challenging women who strengthen the @pioneerspost team. Thanks to all of you!

- biz seeking to win govt work *must* set out how they will deliver social value
- depts will use social value model to assess and score suppliers
- new measures come into effect Jan 2021
- all major procurements will explicitly evaluate social value rather than just consider

A £1bn patient loan fund, managed by socially motivated investors with deep connections to place, would be transformative, ‘cost’ less than 1% of what government already grants to the social sector, and return many multiples of benefit to the taxpayer @DCMS @hmtreasury 4/4

I have heard the phrase ‘low-skill and low pay jobs’ challenged 3 times this week and about time. These jobs (carers, nurses, factory workers, train drivers etc) are, in fact, skilled and specialist. And they are poorly paid because they are undervalued. Time to change

Excited to be launching a new podcast series today with @PioneersPost & @Camerados_org -'The Feeling's Mutual'. 1st in the series with the brilliant @BobThust @MaffPotts @carly_attridge @JacksonRuth_ chatting all things mutual aid - https://t.co/zESrCArBq8

1. Right about now the 20,000th Community Interest Company is registering. An astonishing number really. It's great. CICs are diverse, they keep on coming and they're everywhere. We've seen practically zero scandals / big failures. This also strengthens the 100k #socent estimate.

[Good Finance @GoodFinanceUK]

This is a great opportunity for social enterprises working in access to employment and supporting those most distant from the labour market.

We'll be sharing more information on this next week so keep a look out on our socials!

[Julie Pybus @JuliePybus]

These young journalists might just change the media! Through @PioneersPost and @SocEntGlobal we’ve supported them to learn about solutions journalism, #socent, creative enterprise - and to develop their storytelling skills. And they’ve created some brilliant features for us.

Co-operative ownership cut as a family firm buys 80%. I’m not sure what to make of @divinechocolate’s new ownership structure: a vital bailout during tough times, less power for farmers..? Does it matter?

Story by my @PioneersPost colleague @tjhw here https://t.co/biyXq3Jlpc

[Tim West @tjhw]

Great work by our creative @PioneersPost team with this important feature about how one of the UK's most iconic social businesses is pivoting out of the pandemic.

"For the foreseeable future we will have to be a handout: that's a seismic shift."

How @BigIssue – one of best-known social enterprises in Britain – came back from the brink of failure.
