  A frankly bizarre editorial from the Guardian, very little of which I agree with.

• Analysis – Welfare reforms limited by upfront cost
  "Many U.S. states did not end up spending less money after the reforms, instead choosing to use the money saved on benefit payments to invest in things such as training, childcare and income support for the low paid, to help people move into work."

• Big Society learning network – LGiU
  This is exactly the sort of response needed to make sure the Big Society works – an enabling, third party network where people can share information, learning, innovations etc. Good stuff from the Local Government Information Unit.
