Yes - we've published several papers with Maria - and are looking forward to writing some more! BW, Steve

☣️ Building 'better' does not necessarily mean building 'new'

As extreme weather events intensify and infectious diseases proliferate, these inadequate conditions become even more dangerous.

🚨 We found that prisons are failing to provide adequate indoor air quality, creating serious health risks for prisoners, staff, & wider public:

☣️ Prison gym ventilation 40% below recommended standards
☣️ Healthcare spaces 60% below guidelines
☣️ CO₂ exceeded 2000ppm, far above the 1500ppm threshold

*Another* heatwave arrives this week and it could be the most intense yet. But prisons are ill-prepared to protect prisoners & staff from environmental harm.

✍️ A new paper examines indoor environmental conditions across multiple prisons

❌ It’s not good.

Or:

“Your recent run was much longer and vigorous than your typical workout. It ended abruptly in the middle of nowhere and you haven’t moved for 16hrs. Are you okay? Would you like us to call someone for you? Great work logging a new cardiovascular event! 👏”

These Strava Athlete Intelligence reports are a hoot. Here is a recent one of mine:

I’m trying to figure out a way to trick it into saying something -ve.

“Your recent walk was punctuated with long periods of inactivity. Are you stopping for a fag?” That sort of thing.

At least sociologists can correctly construct sentences! What a divvy that chap must have been!

After the welfare vote debacle, this much is clear: Starmer must change. Labour MPs will demand it | Rafael Behr The anti-Tory energy that won the PM a majority last year has gone. He needs to give his old supporters new reasons to keep him in office, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

#Starmer - change, or leave?

Chris Mason: Labour still has a big persuasion job ahead Ministers hope a partial U-turn will win over Labour rebels when MPs vote on welfare changes later.

I suspect #Labour will get this through … but at what cost electorally?

Each day we edge closer to a Labour split … and a #Reform #generalelection victory …

Tech firms suggested placing trackers under offenders’ skin at meeting with justice secretary Exclusive: Shabana Mahmood told companies she wanted ‘deeper collaboration’ to tackle prisons crisis

I had a conversation with someone at the #MoJ recently which suggested to me that they were seriously considering #technological solutions (rather than social solutions) to managing #”offenders”.

This fits that model.

Terrifying

A year ago, I was discussing with a friend if the #Tories might split after the #GeneralElection . “What about #Labour splitting?” he asked …

This now looks more likely, and esp. so if #Starmer continues to be so woeful and polling continues to be so poor ahead of the next #GE.
