There's lots of talk about what happens *after* this pandemic, what should we learn, what did we always know that's really come to the fore.....

My own ha'penneth, for what it's worth: four things, in the following four tweets (I hope I can fit them all in!)....(1/5)

1. PAY IT FORWARD
Our economy has become a giant payback scheme. Payments in arrears for work done months ago; zero hours contracts to only pay after for what's been done. It makes us all fragile. Precarious. Grants & gifts are investments in the future, not payback for the past

2. TRUST IS MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY
Trusted relationships between people, between neighbours, between employers and employees, between councils and charities, are the foundation of collaboration when the chips are down - and can't be bought

3. REWARD LEARNING AND ADAPTATION
Not 'performance' or "delivery". The most valuable asset any group of people has is their ability to reflect and change as reality bites. Any funder seriously interested in what happens with their money should want nothing less

INVEST TO INVERT INEQUALITY
Our entrenched inequalities pose the greatest threat to rebuilding our economy after this 'Great Pause'. Nothing less than a *huge* transfer of wealth to our poorest families and communities will be able to reboot the consumer economy
