Early Bird

Just back from another volunteer shift for the Ilkley Literature Festival which is running throughout October that includes over 90 events.
Was pleased ( because l had requested this event) to be in attendance and able to listen to Polly Toynbee and David Walker talk about ‘ The Only Way is Up’ where they discussed the past 14 years of Government using data on children’s services, health, economy and policing. 
I admire Polly as a journalist and it was interesting that she had also done the same exercise in 2010 at the end of the last Labour government. Incidentally Mr P and l went to hear her views then. 
Lots for me to think about as l drove home
