Launching our Pathways to Work report - Hearing about the ambitions to tackle economic growth & need for fundamental reform - the creation of good work matters 2.8m people excluded from work due to LTC and similar number trying to sustain work - time for change
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

My daughter’s school’s uniform shop – run by Tesco – charges £18.50 for a branded cardigan that costs £2.50 without branding from a Tesco store. I spoke to the headteacher + he’s allowing unbranded cardigans for the first time. I’m pleased I found the confidence to speak up.
