Its Friday

The sun is shining, the dust is settling.

Since Tuesday there have been many emails, a number of conversations and a bit of space.

I'm praying that much as the Church of England does it most Kingdom focused work out of the headlines- that there will even as I write be conversations and emails happening outside of the headlines. I'm praying that they will happen quickly; whilst some people 'won' on Tuesday, I don't think they will be feeling as secure and comfortable of the future as they need to be.

I'm also praying that many of my colleagues are getting a day off. This has been an exhausting week.

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
