Do I know anyone who has spent time in Dublin lately? Going for a few days' downtime next week, love the place but haven't been in years so seeking tips for quiet daytime pubs and good solo dinners...

Delighted to see this lovely piece about @JumboRecords, probably the world's friendliest record shop. My favourite indulgence is nosing around in there and buying something that I've never heard of, and it usually turns out to be great. theguardian.com/music/2023/apr…

Final thought. Before this work, I thought I understood how bad things were for people. I was wrong - and they are getting worse. There is a narrow window for optimism, and no time at all for complacency.

Three: national leadership is indispensable (and Scotland has led the way) but there is also huge potential for partnership between councils and third sector organisations to make change happen locally.

This report (based on 3 years of research I led with @ISPHERE_HWU and @homelessnetscot colleagues) draws together learning from Scottish Government's investment in social enterprises focused on poverty. Here are my takeaways... bit.ly/sipreport 🧵

@bethmichaelfox have you read Faith Hope and Carnage? I am working my way (very slowly) through it at the moment and can't recommend enough.

@ChrisRenwick certainly not here. But I call anyone renting a flat a "land baron" because of Mark in Peep Show. Does that count?

Does the phrase “union barons” mean anything, or make any sense, to anyone under the age of 60? I’m not all that sure it does anything but look weird to the vast majority of people
