Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, "not invented here syndrome". thetimes.co.uk/article/sure-s…

Mobile phones giving unfiltered access to social media is a damaging issue impacting modern childhood. For all there are benefits, the problems they cause in regards mental health and creating a perception of a distorted reality are far worse. bbc.co.uk/news/education…

thetimes.co.uk/article/94bb2e… I remember being impressed when california introduced progressive smoking bans in public spaces 20+yrs ago. Now florida leading the way acting on the mental health drain that comes from social media apps affecting kids. We need similar in the UK now.

My late grandfather, Sir Derrick Dunlop, was the late Queen’s physician in Scotland. Discretion was the hallmark of his role.

Why are children in care allowed to be treated like commodities. Viewed as assets to be sweated that squeeze money from Local Authorities and then dumped when their commercial value has gone. It has to STOP. They are our kids. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

So-called "free" higher education is no use if you can't get in to uni in the first place. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/… dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

The Promise has always invested heavily in its own PR. The review itself cost £5mill and didn't even produce a costed action plan. There was no evidence that 'implementation' would be any more productive. With few signs of transformational change the cost is unacceptable.

A sad day, camila put love & compassion as vital for a childs development on the map. She may have had faults but who doesn't? Everyone's strength has a converse weakness. We need risk takers to create meaningful action on children in poverty. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-678688…

I've never earned £75k+, but you have to earn the right to put up taxes. You do this by showing a return on investment through improved public services. @theSNP you've not done this. Little goodwill left in the bank. #ScottishBudget

The concept of "ambiguous loss" when parents are separated from their children by coercion is one we should explore for the growing number of parents who have lost children to adoption in England. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/XKWUAZQQ…
