"Furious activity is no substitute for understanding". Ten lessons from 20 years working on regional development as a civil servant based initially in Whitehall and latterly in the NW of England. Long thread.

I can't imagine how i would feel if i were one of the victims/ survivors involved in the child sexual abuse inquiry.
Tory chaos completely taking over the news, again, on a day that ought to have been one of national reckoning with decades of child protection failure. 1/2

It's tragic that the final report of the seven-year, 7,000-victim, £186m child abuse inquiry is going to be completely overshadowed by this shitshow

We have precisely the wrong amount of local democracy. Just enough to have all of the problems; not enough to have any of the benefits.

Truss claims she believes that the British public "know best how to spend your own money, to get on in life, and to realise your ambitions"... sounds good, how about devolving power & funding to communities then? #ConservativePartyConference #CommunityPower
Brilliant analysis from @stkaye at @reformthinktank on the biases that pervade Whitehall & reinforce centralised decision-making, and (most importantly) a way forward..!

I'm confused: Is this an advanced Marxist critique to expose how competition for money and attention pits activists against each other + undermines deep change?
Or just the end of the world?

Who made this? And who approved it?
Heteronormative.
Reinforcing the view that it is a woman’s job to homeschool, clean, do the childcare.
Are the men out there fighting a war or something?

Over 2 weeks into lockdown 3.0, we reflect how Covid-19 is reshaping how we think about "vulnerability"- clinical risks aside, what about those who are most exposed to the socio-economic and psychological impacts of the pandemic?
