When UK govt says it doesn't have money for the NHS, education or public services...This isn't only a cruel policy, but wasteful too. Rwanda: "The deal will cost £1.8m for each of the first 300 deportees, the National Audit Office has confirmed."

Two year anniversary of Preventable 🌈 coming out- books are an opportunity to share our analysis & insights with the world. Love reading them and writing them too!

Single biggest thing government could do to reduce number of economically inactive people who are long-term sick is sort out our mental health services. Two million people in England are on NHS mental health waiting lists. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

My latest column on Scotland’s life expectancy theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If you’re looking for a weekend listen check out this BBC radio programme on tennis player Althea Gibson- was delighted to choose her & talk about her life bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Great article A much healthier perspective is to shift our focus from aesthetics (can I take off my shirt?) to the functionality of fitness, exercise and nutrition (am I strong and healthy within my body, and can I do what I want to do with it?)

I suddenly have a blue tick. I didn’t subscribe to Premium or pay Twitter for it. Who knows why these things appear & disappear randomly. Verified meant an account was authentic in the pre-E days. Not sure what it means now.

This is a very weird way to deal with a virus spillover of avian influenza to a mammal species, to just change the name. This is not another virus, it remains #H5N1, highly pathogenic to birds & dangerous to humans. It does not need a new name, but control measures asap!
