I am intensely grateful to North London Hospice, St Joseph's Hospice for the care they have provided to my family, friends and colleagus. Their care has been exemplary.

Hi #Newsnight
I’ll tell you why I, aged 63, am ‘not working’: I am caring for my 95 year old mother.
So so many people I know are either in the same boat or caring for grandchildren.
Without affordable childcare and social care this will not change. – at South West, England

Also important: National Insurance cut more progressive & better for growth than Income Tax cut. But "80% of the benefit of the [Autumn Statement] NI cut will go to top half of the population." Not progressive, doesn't tackle the hunger & debt we're seeing resolutionfoundation.org/pub…

Today we remember the #Moorgate tube disaster. Our thoughts are with all those who lost their lives and those who live on with the impact of what happened. bit.ly/3tNCGxm

When psychs attempted to bring insights to hospitals in 1950s about how children’s health cd be improved through relational care, many doctors & nurses felt offended. There are insights to be gained from this history for education today. #FierceCuriosity youtube.com/watch?v=s14Q-_Bx…

As Lord Patel said, this should have been in a Bill, with full debate & possibility of amendment in both Houses.
And the "no time" argument doesn't hold water. We wasted many days on Schools Bill that ultimately collapsed. Not to mention #RwandaBill

Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Paterson, New Jersey where 110 people got $400/mo for a year.
Pilot participants increased their incomes significantly to $24,810 from an average of $16,604. The control group ended up at $19k.
While the control group's ability to cover a $400 emergency sharply declined, basic income recipients not only maintained their ability, but over 15% saved more than $500.
Mental health improved. Distress levels went down.
Social ties within the community improved. People did more work in their community.

How to define & understand problems to get better results from change initiatives. Often results are not delivered because (time pressured) leaders jump straight into problem-solving actions without making the time & space to understand & define what the problem is. Here's the "E5" approach to problem-framing:
1) Expand: explore all aspects of a problem & its nuances
2) Examine: understand underlying drivers & systemic contributors to the problem
3) Empathise: consider the perspectives of those who are most central to & affected by the problem
4) Elevate: understand how the problem connects to broader system issues
5) Envision: actively imagine & design solutions to the problem

This is what happens when you give children a paintbrush, plenty of paint & play Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World! My class were inspired by the rhythm as well as the words and enjoyed letting their hands ‘dance’ with the brushes. We used manuscript paper as our canvas 🎶

People could also give someone their King Charles III #FirstFiver and challenge them to use it to raise £50
