‼️EU citizens in the UK - don’t forget to vote in the European Elections on 9 June (and allow enough time to register / get your postal vote) ‼️

This is why I'm *really* worried about the record high alcohol-specific deaths figures that ONS published yesterday.

We modelled the impact of increases in drinking during the pandemic on health, and what's happened is much worse than our worst case scenario (those dots😬).

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

Many victims have been executed, shot at close range. Horrific scenes of carnage with numbers expected to reach 700. Following the mass graves at Al—Shifa hospital, it looks like Israel is a voracious death machine turning hospitals in Gaza into graveyards. Wake up world!

Dear Mr Sunak,
On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

Perfect debunking!

Where we do have a big problem tho is rising worklessness. 'Economic inactivity' is higher now than it was in depths of pandemic, and long-term ill health is biggest driver.
BUt as this from Office for Budget Responsibility shows it's being driven by people *already out of work* for more than three years

Ok but even if it's flat since 2019, maybe 900k a month (1 in 30 employees) is a 'sicknote culture'?
Well here's how the UK compares with other OECD countries on days lost to sickness.
Yes it shows that the UK is an outlier. But no, that's not because we spend more time off sick.

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:

This is devastating news. This is not the time to be withdrawing #mentalhealth support from the workforce. This is a classic example of false economy decision making. I know times are tough, we are having to make the bleakest decisions, but this…

Inequality in the UK is overwhelmingly *within* generations, not between them. .

Not about old vs young/'privileged boomers', but income and wealth inequality.

(As I've been saying for last decade..)

Ofwat's own research proves yet again the regulator is delusional.

69% of people say WCs DO NOT provide a good service.

78% they ARE NOT value for money.

77% DO NOT trust WCs to do what's right for the enviro.

79% say they DO NOT act in the interest of the enviro.
