Nigel Farage’s Reform UK are on the rise. Recent local elections saw the party gain almost exactly as many council seats as the Conservatives lost. They now control 10 councils in areas the Conservatives traditionally dominate. What does this mean for the impact sector? This is a question we need to be asking now for the years ahead, not just when the next General Election rolls around.

Giant yellow signs wink at you from the third floor of an industrial building. They look familiar, but look closer. These aren't ads for Cap'n Crunch; they're hawking a plastic trash parody of the cereal - Caps'n Such. Cheerful red and yellow lettering (Thank You for Shopping!) lets you know that you're approaching a grocery store. Probably. The Plastic Bag Store at MASS MoCA is a clever and impactful immersive installation.

Immersive theater doesn't normally find its way to Providence. As No Pro's New England Editor, traveling two-plus hours for a show is my norm. So when I heard about , a theatrical event promising fantasy, puzzles, and enchantment less than 10 minutes from my house, I was thrilled. Our night started at Justine's, a speakeasy hidden behind a sleazy fake lingerie shop in Olneyville. My date and I showed up early, as requested, for cocktails.

Now that Labour have won an historic victory, attention will be quickly turning to how they will deliver their manifesto promises. This is where the hard work will really start. Where they will need to garner the support of those with the right knowledge, trusted relationships, and experience. Charities and funders have all these three attributes in a range of the areas that Labour will need to deliver on.

We’re now in the final days before the election. Attention will soon turn away from campaigning and towards how the next government can deliver on their promises. This is where we believe that a strong partnership with philanthropists and funders can help. With the right incentives, philanthropy can provide vital funds while government budgets are stretched.

After yet another tumultuous week in British politics, we’ve now seen several of the parties publish their election manifestos. A lot of charities and think tanks – including NPC – have also published their ideas for what the next government should do. But what are these documents really for? Of course, the organisations publishing them hope they will attract new supporters. But beyond that, they are designed to be plans for power and blueprints for change. At least they should be.

As a physician, I am very concerned about the impact of Senate Bill 279, which would remove the requirement that nurse practitioners (NPs) work as part of a patient-centered, physician-led care team. The bill is touted as the answer to rising health care costs and access, but it not include any mechanism or mandate to address either. Dr. Leah Davis is a Traverse City radiologist who was elected to the Michigan State Medical Society Board of Directors last year.
