"In previous eras we have been encouraged to understand ‘the economy’ and ‘the environment’ as discrete physical and conceptual spheres, the deep symbiosis between the two is now impossible to ignore" common-wealth.co.uk/cwb-for-justic…

NEW REPORT! The Enabling State: Where are we now? Looks at progress in seven key policy areas that capture the shift from the traditional Welfare State to an #EnablingState bit.ly/EnablingState

"The media needs to stop using images of people in deckchairs to report heat waves. We should be using pictures of pensioners on stretchers or dead frogs in dry ponds." We have three great guests to talk about the #heatwave if any bookers or producers are looking #journorequest

Tomorrow we'll be publishing our policy review on the Enabling State - five years on from our seminal work on the subject. Where are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland now on their journey from #welfarestate to #enablingstate buff.ly/2P7VEZZ

We want to 'inject some sense of hope for change into a debate which is often defined by what can’t be achieved rather than what can'. @HughEllisTCPA on how @CarnegieUKTrust & @theTCPA are creating a 'network of hope' for planning in local communities. bit.ly/2K0FSuT

"In shattering the perceived rigidity of the present, utopianism paves the way for change. Perfect worlds may not be realisable or even desirable, but that doesn’t mean we should shy away from imagining and striving for a better future." bit.ly/2Rwe8Bp

@amshru @KWheelArt @TheStovies @SoSEPTweets Hi @amshru DM me if you'd like more info!

@Issy_CarnegieUK @KWheelArt @TheStovies Issy, I'm really interesting in how this got funded. Didn't come to the @SoSEPTweets board, but it seems there's some SoS funding?

So excited to be working on this over the next few months with @KWheelArt and the whole team at the @TheStovies - we'll be looking at culture, regeneration, town centres, inclusive growth and more! #FlourishingTowns
