❓ Does loneliness take the same toll on your health as smoking and lack of exercise?
The @BPSOfficial says it should be treated as a public health emergency.
We hear from two guests who have come together to beat loneliness, alongside psychologist Julia Faulconbridge.

🧵Yesterday the Victims & Prisoners Bill had it's second reading in the House of Lords.
I want to see this Bill meet the needs of all victims of domestic abuse.
Thank you @BishopNewcastle for calling for changes that would allow all victims to report to police without fear. 1/4

Investment in the domestic abuse sector could bring savings of £23 billion per year.
To be clear that's £23,000,000,000 in public savings, ready to save lives and reduce strain on public services like the NHS.
Call on party leaders to invest today➡️

Research from @CommissionerDA reveals that 89% of Domestic Homicide Reviews reported prior domestic abuse, showing that vital lessons to prevent future deaths aren't being actioned.
The launch of a national oversight mechanism to hold agencies to account is welcome and needed.
