Thank you for this, I found it really informative and I feel like my eyes literally opened wider at 'has delivery improved at all since we all became obsessed with impact data?' I was interested to read your observation that 'working class' has now come to be interchanged with ' from socioeconomically deprived backgrounds' and how actually the definition is more connected to the systems and structures of who is buying/selling labour. So much for me to go away and read and think about! Thank you.
