The current game isn’t one anyone wants to play so defining what ‘winning’ looks and feels like through range of lens matters alongside the conditions and capabilities needed to raise the cup 🏆
@rdash_nhs As a wise colleague once asked my team over and again: are we playing to win or playing not to lose? Too often a fear of acute hegemony means mental health services defend deep. When our patients and our economy’s recovery means we need to go forward .. 5/n

I’ve loved being part of @BarnsleyCouncil’s Pathways to Work project - wonderful to see @leicesterliz speaking at launch today, focusing on raising employment rates, and establishing a new Labour Market Advisory Board - chaired by my good friend Paul Gregg

Liz Kendall will today set out how Britain’s system of employment support must be fundamentally reformed to tackle the “most urgent challenge” of spiralling economic inactivity.

Barnsley. What a town. I visited for the first yesterday to film a report for tonight’s News at Ten. The centre is full of life, the people we met were warm and welcoming and those moors! In the gaps between the buildings you catch glimpses of stunning countryside. #blownaway

Spiralling economic inactivity is holding Britain back. Britain isn't working - but we have a bold plan. I will set out fundamental reforms in my first speech as Secretary of State in Barnsley today. https://t.co/yNfmsh5oqV
