I’d recommend this quick read from Nick Timmins looking at the whats happened at points of government transitions. TLDR: mid term elections and changes in Ministers has had as much if not bigger impact on health and care as government transitions has.

'Long term decisions for a brighter future': #RAAC #HS2 are worked examples of the opposite, as are the massive cuts to preventative services such as Sure Start and youth services through austerity. Treasury orthodoxy is often blamed but government policy is the cause. 🧵

Great advice on @BBCr4today on rising bills from @MartinSLewis @ClareMoriarty but a small plea for journalists to put rising poverty in the context of the huge rise in income and wealth inequality in UK. We’re not all in the same boat but journalists often speak as if we are.
