SCIE proudly helped deliver a key panel session at this year's Labour Party conference with @plmr.co.uk and @homecareassn.bsky.social.

We explored how social care can drive prevention, independence, and community-based support, ensuring the 10 Year Health Plan delivers real outcomes for people.

This deserves more coverage

For the first time the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards can investigate ministers accused of wrongdoing without the Prime Minister’s permission. The Adviser will also oversee how ministers earn money after leaving office.

We are giving the independent ethics adviser unprecedented powers
This Labour government is going further than any administration before us to restore public trust in politics.

If I walk up to a fully grown adult who’s acting like a twat & slap them, it’s assault.

But if it’s the smallest, weakest, most vulnerable person in my family, someone who depends on me entirely for love & safety, some would call it discipline.

It’s mad, isn’t it?

Alan Shearer and Michael Caine join calls for PM to ban smacking
Smacking is already banned in Wales and Scotland, but in England, the Children's Act allows for the practice in cases where it is "reasonable punishment".

I'm still going! And Ukraine is still free.
Day 1329 and we all do our bit to stop Russia's imperialism and worse, genocide of Ukraine, its people and culture.

Reporting, sharing, making people care who didn't before, holding politicians to account. It's all so important.
Welcome to the🧵

Comment from IES Chief Executive @naomiclayton.bsky.social on the just-announced Labour Market Statistics from the Office for National Statistics.
"There are early signs that the labour market is starting to stabilise, as the pace of decline in jobs is slowing. Payrolled employment increased in August, having decreased for the previous eight months. Job vacancies are increasing in some sectors but remain well below the pre-pandemic peak and the increase in unemployment means that there are more people looking for fewer jobs. With record-high numbers of people still out of work due to ill health and unemployment continuing to rise, it is vital that the government scales up support for individuals and employers to boost participation, alongside measures to boost demand."

Anyway, the most interesting thing (wch I want to follow up) is an ID provider based in Wigan spoke to the fact that ID exclusion in the UK maps to Reform voting intention - and that suspicion and misinformation was high. He called it "the next Brexit".

I was a panellist at a techUK digital ID event yesterday, in a room of UK providers of identity solutions, and the vibe from them was that digital ID needs to be driven by convenience and consumer choice - needs to be easy to use by people who want to use it, when they want it.

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
