@Tony_Scott11 @Ben_Islington They don’t get in any team in the league mate !

@Ben_Islington It'll be a striker and full backs on their priority list. Clear as day IMO. Our strikers can't hold a ball up or make intelligent runs. Do Barry or Beto get in any team in the top 10 this season?

Everton have two strikers who, without each other, wouldn’t possibly be enough to stay in the division. But together, they have increasingly shown they can work effectively across 90 minutes. When Moyes says he knows what he needs in the summer, buying a striker isn’t so obvious.

@SWConcern Huh….. Guns are designed to kill. I think this tool is much more nuanced and structural.

@Coop1878 Funny, the gun lobby in the US says exactly the same thing.

@PaulWhiteleyPhD The PhD added to your name, the karate photo. That’s identity construction. “Smart, tough, disciplined” , its u deciding which markers define u & how u wish to be perceived. Why is that legitimate,but when people choose neurodivergent over disordered it’s “neurobabble”?

The 'neurotype' slur is alive and well. Absolutely no evidence for this neurobabble.

@stimimi Your neurology is not “not how you feel” it’s how you are. External observations will always be a primitive method in trying to understand an internal experience.

In 'masking' you don’t have symptoms because you mask them, which means you do have symptoms, just no one else will see them. Even though you don’t have the symptoms you do. Not even symptoms are relevant now – just how you feel. Is this a credible way of assessing reality?

@JLSirotkin Dm you now 👍

@Coop1878 Hey Lee, can you see my reply in your DMs? Just want to check we're not having anymore tech issues! My email address is j.sirotkin@mmu.ac.uk though, if you'd rather respond that way.

@JLSirotkin hi , could you check my dm please ? 🙂

@RoseUnwin The people who voted gave us brexit.

It looks as if the wheels are coming off the absurd Reform UK bandwagon. They did give us Brexit. They’ve done enough damage.

What a beer mat this is. ❤️🙌

@RoseUnwin @grahamchatterl2 The idea ,of the “holistic” approach is the first act of the performance.

@Coop1878 @grahamchatterl2 Well yes, but that’s not the fault of the idea.

I think this is a post talking about inclusion, but EHCPs are extensive documents so it doesn't make sense. It has 'we are all a little autistic' vibes If it was all children need a pupil on a page personalised plan, I could get behind it more but EHCPs are important

@RoseUnwin @grahamchatterl2 If only identifying need guaranteed need would be met. The whole EHCP process is largely performative.

@grahamchatterl2 I have three kids, one (29) with profound learning disabilities/epilepsy/1-1 24 hour care etc and had an EHCP. The other two (33 and 17) high achieving academic, but with a range of unmet needs. EHCPs can be redesigned but the principle of identifying need is essential. BW.

This feeling that remains. 💙

@kazoofilms follow me back for dm please

@SWConcern You’re missing the point here. Beam are a business , simple as that. Tell me what you and basw are doing in terms of influencing policy. How are influencing LA’s ? What’s the plan ? It can’t be just to demonise a private business provider , we need more

@Coop1878 Marketing, PR. And my personal experience of Beam is that they don’t want to engage in debate unless on their own terms.

Beam, maker of the Magic Notes AI tool currently in 100+ LAs, admits that it could actually lead to MORE work and urges social workers to 'challenge the business case put forward by commissioners for using AI.' All while taking public £££ off the back of those business cases.

@sarasiobhan Sold !

Eek. You can pre-order my new book from today with a tasty discount. Out August 8.

@SWConcern The answer is it can do both. We get to choose which path we take. It’s not going away , we need to embrace it and ensure it is utilised ethically. This is an opportunity to get people from behind screens and desks.

@Coop1878 With 227,000 people waiting for Care Act assessments, budget and staffing pressures and AI that cuts assessment convos from 90 to 30 mins, the real question is whether AI will liberate SWers to spend more time with people, or to spend time with *more people*. Big difference.

Beam's Magic Notes AI tool is now in 'over a hundred councils' (careshowlondon.co.uk/exhibitor-prod…). Last available accounts for this private limited company & 'social enterprise' show a near-100% increase in capital & reserves from Feb-Dec '23 - £2.1M to £4.1M (…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/106373…). 1/

@SWConcern Surely we want social workers out from behind computers and interacting directly with families ?

If similar terms are in place at the 100+ other local authorities, then we can reasonably predict Beam’s profits will continue to grow significantly. What is clear is that there are significant sums of public money flowing towards this private company. 3/end

@SeanDOlfc Ozil , James Rodriquez , fabregas etc these type of talents just don’t exist anymore. Most goals scored now from mistakes hence the obsession with pressing.

I think the fair conclusion is that the elite clubs are worse, which means there's less "superstars" competing at the top like around 2007, but the teams outside the top 5 are way better. Everton used to constantly finish 5th and they didn't have any players top teams wanted.
