🚨Getting Britain Back Into Work: Are the Numbers Wrong?🚨 New SPA blog by Peter Taylor-Gooby examining the direction of government policy towards disability benefits and economic inactivity, and issues with underlying evidence and statistics. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ social-policy.org.uk/spa-blog/getti…

The government plans to save £3bn by pushing disabled people into work. Worrying new evidence suggests that the survey data used exaggerates the numbers social-policy.org.uk/spa-blog/getti… #poverty #Disability

Vulnerable families fail to claim £23bn in social benefits that Parliament has decided they should have. How about a law to require DWP to ensure take-up is as high as possible, rather than the current hostile environment?social-policy.org.uk/spa-blog/a-bil…

Delighted to see this review of my novel "A Kinder City" in the prestigious academic Journal of Social Policy! cambridge.org/core/journals/… #sciencefiction #scifi #Sociology

@colinrtalbot Painted Lady?

Anyone one know what this is? Looks like a Red Admiral but I haven’t seen on for so long not sure?

@ProfJBradshaw Thinking of you

Many years later my wife Carol was killed on this road.

@NerdishMum @PeterFBartram @RandomTTours Thanks very much!

Always wonderful to read anything by @PeterFBartram and I can't wait to share my thoughts on his latest book💜 Thank you Anne @RandomTTours for having me along

@random_walker It's great for novels too. But try sentence by sentence back to front - you can't be swept along by the meaning.

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!

@BenLeruth Well done!

@KarenRowlingson @resyakania @UMS_EcoCampus @IrniJohan @UoBCHASM @UoBSocialPolicy Yes PhDs are hard work - well done!

So proud of @resyakania and #AmerAzlan @UMS_EcoCampus at their graduation today. The PhD journey isn't an easy one, especially during a global pandemic, but they made it through and have brilliant futures ahead, like @IrniJohan! @UoBCHASM @UoBSocialPolicy

@BeardyEddy @Markgatiss That's funny. Someone called Mark Gatiss has just tweeted he met Eddy Hogg!!*☆

I just met @Markgatiss outside the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and he was very lovely even though I said all my words in the wrong order because I was too excited.
