Senior Policy Advisor Richard Humphries 💚 writes for CMM Magazine 💚 suggesting that the new Government's dismal economic and fiscal inheritance should temper expectations of how much can be achieved and how quickly. Read more 👇 caremanagementmatters.co.uk/feature/social…

I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement.

“The Sutherland commission was a disaster for social care.” Let’s hope the government doesn’t make the same mistake. theguardian.com/society/articl…

This Wendy Cope poem is new to me. It’s quietly magnificent. (Via Joseph Fasano):

Compare huge furore about cutting winter fuel allowance with scant concern over scrapping #socialcare reforms. The power of public appreciation of universal provision.

😂

The Mile End Road economists are back on the case Richard Murphy and I are going to fight tooth and nail to oppose evil reckless austerity. There is a strong economic basis for investing in social care schools libraries @nhs and we plan to make that case. Just watch us go

As the Alzheimer's Society are giving their awful offensive ad another push, I'll give my response another push. Still can't get my head around a charity describing its supposed beneficiaries as the living dead, going against its own media guidance. makingrightsmakesense.wordpress.com/2024/04/04/l...

Care work is absolutely vital for our society, but over and over caregivers are devalued and their labor rendered invisible. We can't let this happen. So proud to welcome the #CareCantWait Bus Tour to Philly, alongside Domestic Workers and Caring Across Generations #CareCantWait!

Save time & go to the final sentence: “…a quirk of the study design has probably given this result.” theguardian.com/society/articl…

“Social care should be an “enabler for the lives we want to live”, says Dame Philippa” economist.com/britain/2024/0…

Deeply disappointing to see the resurrection of an ad that so many people have found distressing & offensive

'It's an odious practice and should be banned' Reg Walker, a ticket security expert, spoke to #BBCBreakfast about “dynamic pricing” where prices for the Oasis concerts rose in line with demand and set some remaining tickets at more than £350 - up from £135 when the sale began

It pained me to refuse to pay £390 for Springsteen tickets earlier this year - about time artists disowned the blatant scam of dynamic pricing by ⁦ticketmasteruk⁩ & others theguardian.com/music/article/…

🤣

The rows of empty benches in this & the next post speak volumes about the low political priority given to #socialcare. Unless this changes nothing will change.

#Grenfell again exposing horrible preference for protecting reputations instead of doing the right thing. Time for a renaissance in morality & values as the bedrock of public administration.

Richard Humphries 💚 That’s me sitting behind the Minister. This was an adjournment debate and had more people there than usual showing interest and support for this issue among MPs across the house.
