Tony Hall has overturned the decision about Naga Munchetty - he's looked personally at the decision and says her words did not merit a complaint being upheld against her

Great to see @davidbyers26 citing our research to highlight the difficulties that people with #mentalhealth problems can experience when it comes to late night shopping - & the tools that could help - in @thetimes today. Read the full article here → bit.ly/2kzZI7m

Our new research shows that over 40% of people with #mentalhealth problems want help from a friend or carer with managing their money, but many struggle to get the support they need due to a lack of suitable tools & services. Learn more here: bit.ly/ALittleHelp19 #ALittleHelp
This morning, I had the incredible privilege of announcing Rose Hudson-Wilkin as the new Bishop of Dover in @CanterburyDio.

Really disappointing that the recovery in living standards that was proceeding quite well after 2012 ground to a complete halt last year. A direct result of higher inflation induced by the post referendum fall in value of the pound.
After 5 years of reasonable post-recession income growth, the latest data show median income growth stalled in 2017–18, for only the 4th time in the last 30 years. Pascale Bourquin presents our annual #livingstandards report, funded by @jrf_uk. Read more: ifs.org.uk/publications/1419…

Wow wow wow wow wow. This is the most brilliant news. My team @MMHPI and the three MPs who supported us worked so hard for this amazing result which stopa EVERYONE under NHS mental health crisis care being chased for debt. To thank them pls take two mins to watch the whole clip
We're delighted that the government have responded to our campaign to secure debt respite for people in #mentalhealth crisis. Great to see @HMTreasury minister @JohnGlenUK highlighting some of the ways the #BreathingSpace scheme will help people with #mentalhealth problems:

From 30 August, people with 'hidden disabilities' such as #mentalhealth problems will be able to apply for blue parking badges. Take a look back at @helen_undy's blog explaining why we welcome schemes like this that aim to improve access to vital services: bit.ly/2O2Sx0y

If you wanted to give £115 a week or £6000 a year to a group of UK people, would you choose those earning £80,000? That is what @BorisJohnson proposes. I assume his advisers have road tested it with Tory leadership selectorate of Conservative members and it is popular. But...

Really important lesson across so much of policy. Government can make more difference in the long run than many imagine; but it takes time and consistency. A continual stream of short run announcements and changes is useless at best and likely counterproductive.
Thoughtful piece by @financialtimes editorial board citing our #SureStart work: "It is a reminder that policy, sustained over the long term, can address seemingly intractable inequalities, although it can be expensive" -> The UK needs to think long term tinyurl.com/y3wlt6lp

It is unsustainable because revenues from council tax and business rates can't keep up with demands from social care. Local government will need new revenue streams, either from central government or new local taxes, to stay solvent.

Our new report shows fall of one fifth in council spending. Social care spending relatively protected so many elements of spending down by 40% or more ifs.org.uk/publications/1413…

We were delighted to see the Celebration Statue make its debut this week. Thank you to those who contributed and attended to see the finished work! This affection for Cyrille, Laurie, Brendon and all they represented continues to inspire us at the Legacy Trust.

This chart along with many others shows strong social class gradient. It’s not just the rich different from the poor. Each step up the income/social class ladder is a step up the educational attainment ladder. You see just the same for health outcomes.
Great to see this chart we created back in 2010 using cohort data is still v. relevant for policy today - gaps start early and widen across schooling years - fantastic talks by @AnnaVignoles @JoBlanden #lifechances

Ironically, Barr released this report now to let it be lost in our vacations and holy days, but I think it is perfect. This is the time we get with family, and we examine our deepest articles of faith. I argue it is time to do the same about our politics.

Adrian once again I salute you you’ve absolutely nailed it , yes you do wind me up about Arsenal but when it comes to speaking about Racism issues you don’t hold back. I’m glad you understand and use your media position to point out these facts. Keep talking louder and louder 👊🏾

A bad deal is unacceptable. We can all agree on that. Femi explains why 'No Deal' isn't acceptable either. #SundayPolitics #PeoplesVoteMarch
