Lots of discussions about avoiding falls this week with Helen Sanderson. My girls worry about my notoriously poor balance and meds I’m on can weaken bones- so I’m standing on one leg a lot! And doing lots of resistance and impact work!

see also where 'social care for the elderly' sits here (tho I'm wondering what influence that phrasing has on people's response). This is a prompted poll (people choose from a list). Without a prompt (see IPSOS issues index) social care barely registers at all.

Really interesting convos with @mroutled.bsky.social & folks in Chorlton last night. Talked about people who fund their own care & my challenge 'when faced with paying £1800 pw for the care you need...what services or supports would you actually buy?' 🤔 IMHO it's a question we should all ask ourself

Don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Piers Morgan before & probably never will again. But listening to Laura K interview with our Prime Minister I agree that KS has had his best week since the election. I’m proud of him. Thank goodness that at this time of genuine peril we have a grown up in charge
