  1. @annagillespie74 Hi Anna be good to follow up on our brief Twitter exchange and focus on social mobility and worklessness. Speak soon, David

  3. @StephenMarche good article on The War Against Youth. I was unemployed at 16 with the deck stacked against you so can relate.
  4. Patience, Perseverance and Pressing in despite difficult challenges some of the prophetic words from church weekend away #NewLifeSalford
  5. @JuliaPanayiotou thanks for the follow-up. Relating to values and mission may be interested in challenges of 2008: equalityofopportunity.biz/2009/01/31/a-j…

  12. Good speech @Ed_Miliband @UKLabour on unemployment. Having been NEET myself before an apprenticeship all make sense. labour.org.uk/speech-by-ed-m…
  13. @WorldBank What's the plan to address the issue?
  14. @JohnXLennon John Lennon wouldn't have said that sir. If you're going to mascarade need to adopt the characters properly.
