🚨1 in 3 children living in deep poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence.

Hostile immigration policies drive migrant families into poverty.

UK billionaires’ wealth increased by £35m/day to £182bn

The UK is a wealthy country. Yet 1 in 5 people & 30% of children are living in poverty with an increasing reliance on food banks.

Bold action is needed to redistribute the wealth to those who need it most.

Every civilised people on the face of the earth must be fully aware that this country is the asylum of nations…it will defend the asylum to the last ounce of its treasure & the last drop of its blood. There is no point whatsoever on which we are prouder or more resolute.

I know this is a dumb question and is obviously being addressed by people more "in the know" than I am:

What's being done to protect/back up available scientific data that those in power might find inconvenient?

I watched Trump’s inaugural address and regret it

To avoid despair, I’ve turned to some wisdom from Albert Einstein for a dose of transcendant hope

Trump says he will declare a "national emergency at our southern border."

How many media organizatons will remind low-info American voters that the number of border crossings has been in decline for a while is now LOWER than when Trump last left office in November 2020?

📣New Paper:19 months after the UK soft drinks industry levy (SDIL; sugar tax) was enforced we find a 7.5g weekly household sugar reduction from soft drinks. Weekly sugar reductions were highest in houses with lowest incomes(70g/week) / with children(56g/week).

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

Deep End workforce planning: ‘…for proper team based care, NOT task substitution’
Starfield’s : cost-effective primary care requires the 4 CS of 1st Contact +Continuity +Co-ordinated+ Comprehensive team care ( with Family Practitioner/ GP allocation matched to need/per capita).
#GPandPrimaryCare
Recommendation 4
Develop the Deep End GP Workforce
Get extra GPs into Deep End areas – teach Deep End skills, fund Health Equity Fellows,
(Other health professionals, too of course - for proper team-based care, NOT for task substitution.)
