As someone in the midst of implementing #UniversalCredit, a few observations on the implementation of the post-war social security system, which is 75 years old today. (Yes, just like the NHS, but the less remembered twin). (1)

@NPorter_ I would have loved to see their user personas. Who did they think actually ran the companies using their space?

@JayEeeEnn I know right! Everything to incentivise getting hammered through the working day and going to weird WeWork festivals all summer, but breastfeeding working mums’ are categorically not welcome! Totally wild!

First time at a WeWork for a while, and having just watched the documentary I am ready to process some of our experiences when we had offices in a big central London WeWork back in the day (2017)… 🧵

And WeWork building manager comes in to tell me this is not allowed. Glass walls are Policy. NO exceptions. Obviously I ignored them and continued to put up the post it notes. But it was so WeWork that this was their response to the situation

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard Did I want to see it? If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

Devastating letter from @charlie_taylor6 on HMYOI Cookham Wood. The line that really stands out is that staff no longer believe that things can be different. What staff believe is possible is a great predictor of what will be delivered
HMI Prisons@HMIPrisonsnews

On Wednesday, @charlie_taylor6 wrote to the Secretary of State invoking an Urgent Notification for HMYOI Cookham Wood after finding boys held in solitary confinement in an inspection last week. Read the press release and letter to the SoS: justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmiprisons/med…

Another day, another hour of raw poo pumped into the River Graveney. Here's a pic of the river itself, nestled at the back of people's gardens. We need to nurture it as a wildlife corridor, not smother it in 💩 @thameswater 👀👀👀

Excellent @FT piece on the importance of governments involving civil society in the policy making process, which still happens far too little — we need more effective links between the public, private and charity sectors to elevate the impact of all three on.ft.com/403kWZY

Today, all universities reopened in Afghanistan after winter break, but ONLY for men. These brave young women are peacefully protesting outside Kabul University against Taliban BAN on women going to university. Let us amplify their voices!

New DfE statistics released yesterday show us that the number of 18 to 24 year olds who are NEET has increased to 14.5%, an increase of 2 percentage points since 2021. That means NEET rates for this age group are at their highest for nearly decade. 🧵 …e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…
