The 'endless' roundabout' of funding applications that many charities get stuck on is holding back charities from fulfilling their potential.
That's why the Law Family Commission on Civil Society calls for a radical shift in approach from funders.

It just goes on and on and on and on … [During] the time that you should be working with the people, [which] you got involved with the charity to do, you end up getting stuck in this endless round of funding.” - a small charity](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fne8TfLX0AIQLG2.jpg?name=orig)

Have loved re-thinking what evaluation means when you're doing systems change with @jeneralife @LeadbeaterCh and the team at @socfinuk - and excited to join the conversation at #MakingTheSystemShift later this month!

£50bn of tax cuts - heavily skewed towards the richest. When food banks can't manage demand.

Any of you earn £1m? You're getting a £55k tax cut next year - twice what a typical earner brings home a year

As recently as January, P&O billionaire owners spent £150M sponsoring elite golf contest - now sacks 800 staff with no warning after making £100M loss
Govt “concern” not enough - let’s have emergency laws if needed, practices like these should be banned

Key debate 3pm today. 2 yrs ago Timpson Review recommended councils should be supported to drive multi-agency support for kids at risk of exclusion. Now, more than ever, this needs to happen for pupils most impacted by the pandemic. @edwardtimpson

interesting @peterfranklin_ piece about the success story that is Bangladesh unherd.com/thepost/banglades…
Hans Rosling used Bangladesh to show how we misunderstand the developing world. In 1962, avg woman had 7 kids & 25% died in infancy; now it's 2 and 0.25% gapminder.org/videos/gapcast…

I beg any MPs following me to vote for this amendment. There are children in Yemen, Syria, Bangladesh who will go w/o food or shelter for *absolutely no reason* because of these cuts. Across the world huge numbers will lose access to medicine + education. You can stop this.

This on the Batley Grammar School controversy is such a thoughtful and wise contribution.

Also had a bit of rant about our inhuman system of sanctions. I wish there was a way to show people how much unnecessary pain and misery it causes.

My piece for @theHouse_mag on what the food boxes tell us about public attitudes towards poverty and benefits.
I was pretty staggered by some of the polling stats on it. politicshome.com/thehouse/ar…
