Britain loses more than ยฃ75bn every year to poverty. Lost output. NHS strain. Lower productivity. The Nicolson Report asks: why is prevention still framed as unaffordable? Tom Burgess reports

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For โ€˜doomsayersโ€™ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"It is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for foodโ€... โ€œconflict and military escalation will become more likely... as groups compete for arable land and food and water resourcesโ€.

Census 2021 gender identity estimates for England and Wales, additional guidance on uncertainty and appropriate use - Office for National Statistics Additional guidance for users on how the gender identity estimates from Census 2021 in England and Wales can best be used, building on the previous research published in November 2023.

I don't think it's malicious - I think it's just a separate question. There are concerns around the data quality obtained for the gender identity question, which may make it harder to do reliable research, but they've reported some health disparities. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

Council funding deal: who are the winners and losers โ€“ and will tax bills rise? Cash is now being distributed using a new Fair Funding formula that gives greater weighting to local authorities with high โ€˜deprivationโ€™ scores

Actual Good News: Labour has launched its fair funding formula for local councils. The aim is to push more cash towards deprived communities like Middlesbrough and Birmingham. And less for wealthier areas such as Kensington and the Home Counties. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
