Increasingly frustrated at the inability of the NHS - at alll levels - to grasp you need a whole pipeline workforce planning approach, so if you want more B6 or advanced physios you also need to expand the number of B5 NQ you recruit !

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

That would not affect Musk or the the bigots. It cedes the space to them and prevents any countering of radicalisation.

Guardian investigation into Facebook groups with 600k members in which the kind of extreme dehumanising language that socialises racist violence is rife. Facebook has become more permissive towards extreme content in the last year.

Far-right Facebook groups are engine of radicalisation in UK, data investigation suggests

Rioters were influenced by network that exposes hundreds of thousands of Britons to racist disinformation, Guardian research indicates

The Bakerloop is here.

A brand-new electric express bus service connecting communities from Waterloo to Lewisham.

Launching on Saturday 27 September, we’re offering one week of free travel on the Bakerloop so Londoners can see for themselves how it could transform their everyday journeys.

Graphic from the Mayor of London reads: "Breaking: the Bakerloop is here and it's free for a week." Includes images of two bus routes, one to Lewisham and one to Waterloo, along with the new Bakerloop bus.

Saying so does not make you popular with some, but Britain cannot prosper if poverty deepens in its capital city, where so much of its prosperity begins. The government must rethink its local gov funding formula: www.onlondon.co.uk/how-is-the-l... #london #truelondon @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

How is the government's Fair Funding formula unfair to London?

The capital's number crunchers have been working overtime to prevent Londoners losing out from a new formula that seems far from flawless

My latest blog for @cipr.co.uk Influence Mag explains why communications should be a strategic public sector function. Too often treated as an HR add-on, it’s actually a leadership discipline shaping decisions at the highest level.
