With tomorrow's Spending Review looming, @instituteforgovernment.org.uk's @gilesyb.bsky.social warns the real productivity issue isn’t policy ideas, but the system’s inability to deliver. Is it just centralisation, or is govt now too complex to act? productivity.ac.uk/news/low-acc...

We call them 'green-inkers'
Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?
Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.

Whilst there might be *some* valid reasons for this, I bet there are many more invalid ones. This type of structural health inequality is why deprivation has multiple indices and must be a key determinant of how scarce public resources are allocated.
Really good results for those who recover following treatment. But as a Nuffield report of April 2024 showed, far lower proportion of those from poorer decile recover (42%) than those from least deprived areas (55%)

Is this a) tender affection between two non-sibling cats or b) sheer stubborn, bloody-mindedness and a refusal to cede any space on one blanket?

If only Louise Haigh had repeatedly kicked her partner…
Or been arrested for numerous sexual assault charges
Or been found to have frequently bullied her staff
Then maybe she’d still be in her position.

Today is Equal Pay Day - the day when women effectively stop getting paid because of the gender pay gap.
At current rates it will take 16 years to close this gap.
