Great debate on @skysarahjane with @vicrayner @TheKingsFund on preventative approaches, workforce development and a holistic approach to responding to people. So refreshing

Pleased to see that proposals which could have effectively criminalised the use of tents by people sleeping rough have been ditched.
The Government must now turn their attention towards the rising levels of rough sleeping.

This chart - by Case and Deaton for Brookings - is just the most incredible illustration of the human cost of inequality. It shows that Americans with an undergraduate degree live as long as the Japanese and all citizens on average (with or without degrees) in other rich countries. But Americans without degrees die an appalling 8.5 years younger than their educated fellow citizens, and their life spans are way way shorter than you would expect of citizens in the world’s richest country. A significant life expectancy gap between rich and poor is sadly also characteristic of the UK, even with the UK’s famously better universal healthcare provision. A decent healthcare system cannot rectify the ravages to wellbeing caused by deprivation
Looks useful.

A lot of people have wished me luck for today, as I start radiotherapy for prostate cancer. It’s very kind of you all. Though it’s not luck that I need. It’s a well resourced health care system. Trains instead of traffic jams to get me to the hospital on time. A life of hope.
When do you reckon the furore over Hussexit will die down to the level where we can actually talk about it?

The long hours without respite, the heart-rending intensity of the work - surely the NHS nurses have expanded their productivity more than almost anyone during the pandemic.
If they vote to strike, how can they get classed as part of an anti-growth coalition of striking workers?
