It shouldn’t be underestimated how hard it is for a big city like Manchester, with high levels of need, to get Outstanding for its children’s services. I’ve seen first hand how this is changing lives & outcomes for vulnerable children. https://t.co/2hx9tAuz1m

We are so proud of the improvements in our children’s services at @ManCityCouncil as today’s @Ofstednews verdict shows - testament to the hard work over many years by our political leaders, partners and our amazing staff team. Huge thanks to you all #Manchester #socialcare

We've had some OUTSTANDING news this morning. 🏆 🎉 Ofsted's latest big inspection of our children's services has given them the highest possible rating. We're the first place in the North West to achieve this. 👉 You can read the full report here: https://t.co/7Fg2p43SUi

'It was a massive shock - now it's another reason to be proud of Manchester'

It's time for real ambition: embed the UNCRC, write a new Children Act for this generation, reform the inspectorate so it works better for children, end profit making in social care, make sure every child can receive loving care until 18 and beyond. Children deserve far better.

A pension-age household of two people with a combined income of just under £70,000 will receive a winter fuel payment. This is going to become increasingly harder to justify when young adults in work who earn less receive no support at all despite having higher housing costs.

Bury Council is believed to be one of the first local authorities in England to ringfence homes specifically for care leavers

Still after a couple of Pompey tickets for some mates who missed out if anyone hears of any going, even just single tickets. Can collect and will pay cash. #hcafc

In 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea. The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership. This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in European history. Here's the full story: 🧵

Awaab's Law is finally to come into force in social housing, but it will be phased over 2 years, which charities tell me will "put lives at risk"

The Journalist is out of work at MUNDIAL in 2025 so any leads on jobs/freelance work early next year would be massively appreciated. Football/cricket/news, whatever, I am all ears. Cheers.

In the last week, Labour hit a crucial milestone on getting rid of hereditary peers, unlocked £1bn funding for social housing insulation, initiated plans to regulate buy-now-pay-later lenders and started to coalesce around an HS2 replacement. Barely any chat about this at all.
