@Backpainandwine For a while they just sung two rounds of happy birthday for you while you washed your hands

Very excited that my book, Cracking Social Mobility, has been ref'd in new report on innovation by Tony Blair and @WilliamJHague from @InstituteGC institute.global/policy/new-nat…

If young people simply need to save more to get on the property ladder - by giving up nights out and holidays - how come lockdown didn’t result in an influx of homeowners?

It was great to chat to Dr @MutluCukurova about how AI can enhance collaborative learning, as part of @Jisc's AI in education: pedagogy first podcast series jisc.ac.uk/podcasts/ai-in…

jisc.ac.uk/podcasts/ai-in… The first podcast from the @Jisc AI in Education: Pedagogy First series, in which I spoke with @scottdhayden about how AI can enable personalised learning (in part through freeing up teachers' time).

@Jisc has published its AI Map - exploreai.jisc.ac.uk/ai-map - a tool to help visualise where/what AI innovation is taking place across UK colleges and universities. #AIineducation

@justadiver1999 @Backpainandwine Agree with both points. Would also point out, with tongue in cheek, that the childless and those with kids are currently taxed...so maybe let's stick to the status quo on this one

Millennials and young people are keeping very very little of their incomes at present, through a mixture of tax hikes and rent. And no one seems to care about this. Do we not matter? Or is our destiny to be the nation's wallet?

No wonder the tories have no vision. The cost of petrol has made testing your eyes prohibitively expensive.

Want to explore actual demos of #AI and #artificialintalligence - have a look at the excellent @Jisc resources exploreai.jisc.ac.uk @CADEatUON @TomMoule8

@sarahknight @Jisc @scottdhayden @BCoTD1g1tal I really enjoyed our chat, @scottdhayden, and I learned so much. Well done for your great and innovative work at @BCoTD1g1tal

Excellent @Jisc podcast with @TomMoule8 and the brilliant @scottdhayden @BCoTD1g1tal on their use of AI to support personalisation of learning jisc.ac.uk/podcasts/ai-in… #edtech #digitalstudent #AmplifyFE #AI

Looking forward to @Jisc's AI summer event, where I'll be joined by @Aftab_Hussain, Chris Baldwin from @sandwellcollege, Shelagh Mclachlan from @AyrshireColl; and by pioneers in AI from @GraideFeedback and @Bodyswaps_VR - a really excited day ahead!

@SchoolsWeek @Jeffery_Quaye I agree with most of this, but don't think it captures the essence of SM. SM should be thought of as what we'd see in society if background was as irrelevant as the day of the week on which you were born. As part of that we'd see long and short range social mobility.

'But we won’t achieve true social mobility until those in power challenge the systemic drivers of inequality' - says @Jeffery_Quaye schoolsweek.co.uk/reframing-soci…

There’s nothing to celebrate about a #rentersreform bill. Your landlord can no longer make you homeless? Great - it’s almost like this is the bare minimum for a developed society. Don’t be taken in by it. We deserve homes. That’s the issue. Ps. Tories you haven’t put this to bed.

@johnredwood What's wrong with building homes? Conservative ideology tells young people that hard work pays off. But actually it goes towards landlords - because of refusal to build. What formula are we supposed to follow to have some long-term stability? Or do we not matter compared to land?

Prevailing thought from watching the @Miss_Snuffy documentary: Faint heart never won fair society.

@Samfr Well said!

My grandad was a engineer at the BBC and my grandma didn't work. They were able to buy a London house with garden and send my Mum to private school. Different world.

My grandparents bought their house - a 3 bed in Stanmore - for £500 in the late 1940s. Around £15k in today's money. Would now cost around £750k.

@debrakidd I think they're confusing vaccines and enemas :/

@Samfr Hull was due to the council's poor execution of LTN . I'll admit LDs perform locally. Nationally, however, they are focussed on wealthy Blue Wall voters - not addressing inequalities. Zero fees not necessarily progressive. 9k fees definitely regressive.

@TomMoule8 I don't accept that they are pro austerity or pro North/South divide - they just won councils in Hull, Stockport and Cumbria. Tuition fees are not an anti-progressive policy (compare to Scotland who don't have them.) Nimby-ness alone does not make them right wing.

64% for the anti-Tory parties. Highest yet I think.

@ArtBear1000 @Samfr Fair. But my argument is that LD know they can claim whatever they like in their manifestos because they - unlike T and L - will never be the senior party of Govt. So there's no point using their current manifesto pledges to demonstrate how progressive they are.

@TomMoule8 @Samfr 1)Ever wondered why the Conservatives aren't held to the 999 times they have broken manifesto pledges but Libdems are held to 1 event in a junior coalition position. 2)Can we name any manifesto pledge not broken by Tories from last GE?
