@jonathansimons I think this is 100% right, and indeed the lineage is even longer - going back to Callaghan’s ‘secret garden’ speech in 1976.

The COVID crisis has brought out the best of Britain’s spirit. Now @ukonward is calling for a #socialstimulus to amplify that spirit so we emerge a stronger, more connected society. ? https://t.co/QQzgqVluo9

Fantastic report on a cause very close to my heart. Sports clubs like @AFCWimbledon are often the centrepiece of community life - we need to support them during the crisis, and help them lead our recovery. https://t.co/C9gSi0kdxm

@danny__kruger @dianabarran Congratulations Danny - the social fabric project @ukonward is at your service

@virginmedia my internet in London W3 has been down for hours. Your service status webpage is broken. The helpline won’t even accept my call. Awful customer service. When will it be fixed?

@ruskin147 @virginmedia Not working for me in W3. But what’s really bad is service status webpage is broken, the service status info line says no outages, and the helpline is impossible to reach. Terrible service!

Next Monday I'll be launching @ukonward's new report - The State of our Social Fabric - with Culture Secretary @OliverDowden. Sign up to our webinar here (https://t.co/F8VHb0f17E) and join us to discuss this landmark new research on renewing Britain's communities. https://t.co/nBmblKAA9m

Very much this ?. And a big shout out to the officials, medical staff, logistics folks and others who helped make it happen. ?? Onwards and upwards https://t.co/l4TGdsVdWK

As countries map out their COVID recovery, vaccine & immunity passports are a hot topic. The @AdaLovelaceInst has launched a call for evidence https://t.co/zzn8RnRcJz.
