Yeah, well unfortunately for the people of Lincolnshire, and everyone here in Sittingbourne and on Sheppey, is that whatever Andrea and Richard may choose to believe, climate change is real and sea level rise is going to massively impact low lying coastal areas all down the eastern side of England

Just to say: we should absolutely be dragging Reform for this.

Arguably their most senior elected official is a straight up climate change denier. Needs to be called out and pushed back on. Hard.

Oddly, I can cope with that 😆

Brilliant stuff from Sweden. Just incredible how the Lionesses pulled that back.

Heroes!!!!!! #Lionesses

Bring it on!!!!!!

Don’t panic. It’s the footie, nothing Westminster-ish

Well this is tense

It is a zombie policy idea that never seems to die, because it plays into some very “common-sense” seeming pragmatic psychology

But every bit of evidence, serious deep-dive and detailed analysis done demolishes it

It would drive up inequality, worsen access and tank outcomes, bored with it now.

🧠 Did you know in England roughly 1/6 people live with a neurological condition?

That is why I'm proud to support The Neurological Society in calling for greater neurological care services across the UK.

Hard not to draw the conclusion that Tice is lying. If he isn't lying then it is extremely odd that the 3 economists won't put their names to the calculation. Economists are not shy of the claiming influence like this. And you can find some that will say crazy things [Brexit, Truss budget].

“Three ‘different economists’. You wouldn’t know them. They go to a different school. In Canada.”

7/ The takeaway: tackling the “coastal mental health gap” means serious investment in transport, housing, education, and local mental health support. We need to see a dedicated coastal strategy from the government that tackles the problems facing coastal towns head on.

Young people in England’s coastal towns three times more likely to have a mental health condition They are suffering disproportionately and without help, say researchers, and unless they are given a voice, problems will continue to mount up

1/ New research has highlighted once again the unique and specific challenges facing coastal communities and the need for a targeted response - this time on a crisis in mental health among young people. 🧵

We need to create millions of good jobs to win the next election.

A couple with two children need to earn £35k each to live a decent life.

You can add someone playing White Ladder for their sick relative while I was in the middle of a difficult break-up. Sobbed bucket loads

Can’t think of anything more universal

But you know what isn’t good manners? Demanding someone states their personal reasons to the nation, just to gloat at them

Time to deliver things differently, join-up outcomes, and reframe development as a transformational good 🏡
