The UK government has announced (another) commission to look at social care today. Sector leaders have made plain their concerns about associated timescales and what is liable to happen - get worse - in the interim. But, I think a few things are noteworthy in the circumstances …

I’ve now completed exhaustive analysis* of the first 6,800 comments here and can reveal that the public’s preferred metaphor for the new #socialcare commission is ‘kicking the can down the road’, outscoring ‘booting it into the long grass’ by a 2-1 margin. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Much ado about welfare reform in today’s press … the no. of unemployed people per vacancy was 1.9 Sept to Nov 2024, up by 0.2 from 1.7 in previous quarter. If Office for National Statistics (ONS) broke vacancy stats down by region and factored for level of skills required, ratio would be worse in many places.
