Make sure to meet up with Jeremy and my colleagues if you’re at #NCASC22 this year to hear about the great work we’re doing across the country.

Fascinating afternoon @MuseumofLondon including seeing the smashed guitar from the front cover of London Calling
Our sponsors @IMPOWERconsult have been working hard behind the #ncasc22 scenes on co-producing physical spaces and content that features the voice of those with lived experience, a strong theme of this year’s event.

What’s remarkable about this (admittedly very short) leadership race is that despite the fact the situation for the country is so grave, nearly all of it is seen and articulated through prism of the future Conservative Party itself. Almost no discussion of wider policy at all.

This is really depressing reading. Local government has cut so much in the last 12 years. Trying to cut whatever proportion it gets of this will be impossible

Have to be a bit rough and ready - but this is my view of the public finances -
These are very large spending cuts and potentially not credible

“Has become a distraction” rather than “is wrong in a cost of living crisis”

Seems rather odd for the Prime Minister to argue that managing the NHS isn’t about getting the inputs right but only about specifying the outputs. The fundamental problem for the health and care system is the gap between unprecedented demand and the capacity of the system.

Recommended holiday reading - Taste by Stanley Tucci. I don’t cook anything unless it’s direct from freezer to oven to stomach, but the story of his life through food is inspiring.

Although when I say inspiring I mean choosing something different when I’m out 😉
