On paper the smoking ban seems like a good idea. But the only way it can possibly work is with serious enforcement and I'm not convinced that's going to happen. Good that the law won't criminalise Gen Alpha from buying cigarettes though #smokingban
On “The Intelligence” @GeorgiaBanjo examines Britons’ shifting attitudes towards assisted dying, and meets one of the many people who want the law to change econ.st/4aMtN7c 🎧

Our UK cover story this week is on assisted dying. Most Brits have long supported changing the law. Bills are now in progress in Scotland, the Isle of Man and Jersey. But how likely is it really to happen? And what are the arguments for and against it? economist.com/britain/2024/0…
Blackpool is home to some of the most deprived wards in the country and has a lower healthy life expectancy than Angola. Now it has a plan and £2bn to spend on regeneration. Can it turn things around? By me, with amazing photos by @orlandogili economist.com/britain/2024/0…

On the day the government announces it will ban disposable vapes, it's worth remembering that much of the damage to kids' health seems to come from illegal vapes which can contain things like nickel and lead. And that bacardi breezers are far worse... economist.com/britain/2023/0…
Health inequality in action: "Over the decade (between 2011-2013 and 2020-2022), for males, the local area in England with the largest decrease in life expectancy was Boston (minus 2.1 years), the largest increase over the decade was Oxford (1.4 years)" ons.gov.uk/releases/lifee…

What are the consequences of a failing NHS? My article this week looks at a few of them: the rise of private healthcare, an increasing reliance on community networks, the millions unable to get the help they need. Is Britain going back to the 1930s? economist.com/britain/2024/0…
Labour are 20 points up in the polls. Bar another Tory merry-go-round @wesstreeting will likely be the next health secretary. So who is he, and can he fix the NHS? My answer, in 800 words, after following him around Singapore economist.com/britain/2023/1…

Just seen the left-hand chart doing the rounds on Twitter Helpful reminder that starting points matter for time series. The chart on the right starts in 2009 and changes the story a bit! Pretty bad practice from @BBC - it was an active (and disingenuous) choice to start in 2013

Feels a bit of a partial story. Arguably UK began its transition away from coal at the start of the 20th century or, less controversially, with the 1970s miner's strikes.
For all the folks who read Vaclav Smil and claim that we're doomed because energy transitions take hundreds of years. Here's the share of coal of UK electricity generation. It went from 39% in 2012 to 1% in 2023.

If Wael al-Dahdouh was Ukrainian, he would be invited to the White House. He would be on billboards and championed a hero across the western world. Some of his family would be rescued. But he's Palestinian, so the world keeps silent about his plight and that of Gaza journalists.
If resilience could take a human form it would be Wael Al-Dahdouh.

‘Accidentally’ killing the hostages should tell you how hard the IDF are supposedly trying to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza.
If this is how the IDF treat hostages imagine what the Palestinians are suffering every day. Israeli organisations like @BtSIsrael and others have been warning about IDF tactics for years. Trigger happy, pumped with hatred and out of control - the videos from Gaza, some filmed…
BREAKING: Three Israeli hostages killed by the IDF were shirtless and holding up a makeshift white flag, an Israeli military official has said. An inquiry into the incident has found the hostages were fired upon against Israel's rules of engagement. trib.al/Rx0iR33
