@bbclaurak Wes Streeting says he hasn’t seen the proposals so he can’t comment on cutting PIP payments. Really? @BASW_UK @BASW_NI @BASW_Cymru @ScotsSW @1adass
@wesstreeting says the The NHS is 'addicted to overspending.' Again let’s be careful here! Commissioners & budget holders face tough decisions daily, balancing public expectations with the available resources. Yes to reform, but let’s ensure it’s thoughtful, supportive, &…
"The NHS is addicted to overspending" Health Secretary Wes Streeting confirms some integrated care boards have been asked to find 50% savings to stop "waste and inefficiency"
Currently having trouble finding a home because of guarantor requests? We're looking for renters who are happy to be identified to share their story with media and on our social channels. Sound like you? Let us know. shltr.org.uk/5fcVX
Is it any wonder people feel so ground down! The judgments being made about PIP where the government view/narrative is citizens are just consumers of government resource instead of recognising people in need of support often caused by complex & deeply private circumstances out of…

Great to be at the @NoChildBehindUK @MariB_NEU strategy meeting with so many activists and recent achievements. As social workers we see how widespread food poverty is in the UK and we support the next steps to make 'Free School Meals for All' a reality.

Michael Gove's advice for future Education Secretaries: "if you find the unions are praising you and the academics in university education departments proclaim themselves your allies – ask yourself... Are the wrong people clapping?" 💩🫏 spectator.co.uk/article/the-le…

Earlier this afternoon at Number 10 Downing Street I met with our new Prime Minister as well as other members of the Govt. Delighted to play my part in a @UKLabour Govt that delivers a country that works for everyone.
Change? Tomorrow's #KingsSpeech is a chance to prove it 👇🏾 What we're looking for: 🏠A fresh start at reforming the private rented sector with a new, strong bill 🏘️Legislation that will help deliver the 90,000 social homes a year that will end the #HousingEmergency
Making our message to @Keir_Starmer loud and clear from day one 💪 Right now, there's record homelessness, soaring private rents and a severe shortage of social homes. The new government must kickstart its plan to end the housing emergency. It's the real ‘change’ people need.
As well as being a completely stunning job title (embedded! fellow!!), this looks like a fabulous job for someone in #socialwork #socialcare to strengthen links between practice and research, and it's with great people
If you're a social care researcher with an interest in better links with practice or a social care practitioner / manager interested in better links with research, then this role could be for you! jobs.ac.uk/job/DIQ385/emb… @wmadass @ARC_WM @ImpAdultCare @NIHRSSCR @RWMSWTP
