⛓️ ‘Where jobs went, so did the things that held communities together' Poverty affects the whole of the UK, but it’s not distributed evenly. Our analyst @scothunter.bsky.social sets out where poverty is most acute, and the action needed for all communities to thrive, no matter where they are.

Power structures in this country are still dominated by a small group of people. 1️⃣ The 7% who go to private schools 2️⃣ The roughly 1% who go to Oxford or Cambridge for university This is especially true for those who attend both private school and Oxbridge 👇

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
