Hi everyone, I wrote about the state of case management software in social care and local authorities.

In short; it is a hard nut to crack and one that can be cracked with commitment, coordination and central goverment involvement.

Fuck yes someone at the very heart of government saying this so thoughtfully and clear throated. What’s this funny tingling feeling… is it hope and pride? More of that. 💪

Am I nervous or hungry? I’m 40 and still find that one tricky.

Surround yourself with colleagues who will tell you mid-meeting, "Don't do that; it makes you look like a tw*t". **chefkiss**

Via the medium of emoji, can those in the know respond to the Cabinet Secretary appointment.

Many thanks.

Gisela Stuart speaks pretty clearly about making the flow in and out of the cs much better, so hopefully even if Cab Sec is a miss there can be a more healthy inflow and outflow of skills and mentality www.youtube.com/live/Zm2cvD3...

Yeah, just read that and enjoyed it. All eyes on who gets Cabinet Secretary and how much reforming energy they have.

Ive been using Roam for 4 years now. I’ve had a very similar feeling of it fitting my brain.

What is clear is how closely MPs have studied this legislation. There is genuine collaboration on possible amendments, engagement with the smallest detail and deep consultation with constituents.

If only it could always be like this!

Massive shout out to @jukes.ie and @debblanch44.bsky.social for running Product for the People yesterday. It felt very real-talk, open and honest. There was a good spread of "generations" in the room too. Its lovely to have a space that engenders collective sprit and has a bit of hope. A+

The case study of how public transport suddenly worked brilliantly during Glasgow COP is a fantastic example of this.

The whistleblower in this is heartbreaking. I’d bet on 100s similar without the courage to go public in every department. I’m not convinced finance is the main problem, a deficit of political capital and courage is.

It’s that broad sense that ends up with Elon, DOGE and tear it all down frustrations.

To paraphrase - someone very skilled and technical recently told me about [department] -´no one with technical skills wants to work there because they won’t be listened to or really get to change anything’ and that they avoid applying for a policy jobs as ‘they want preppy KPMG types’

Who imprisoned them? Why did they do that? What’s so zero sum about the situation?

Keep activist Ministers in post for extended periods of time, more political appointments, reform the civil service (focus on DGs, skillsets, pay and incentive structures) and offer £££ of core funding grants to thirds sector adjacent organisations with skilled technicians who create public value.

Why do you think is it difficult in practice?
