The UK currently has the worst paternity leave offer in Europe.
Our latest modelling showed that increasing statutory paternity leave to six weeks at 90 per cent of pay could boost the UK economy per year by £2.6bn in the near term. 📈

📢 Stigma around people in poverty, benefits and welfare is key to understanding why poverty is still deemed acceptable in a country as wealthy as the UK.
Read our recent report on stigma below: www.jrf.org.uk/stigma-power...

Poverty stigma: a glue that holds poverty in place
Poverty stigma exacerbates shamefully high rates of poverty in the UK. It can affect health as much as trying to survive on a low income. How do we combat it?

President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic. nyti.ms/4hilymo

Several mainstream public health experts are normalizing Trump's dangerous health picks in the media in naive hope that they can limit the damage by finding common ground. This is an example of obeying in advance. Rather than reducing harm, it legitimizes deadly policies and paves the way for worse.
There's a huge tension building within public health over collaboration: can we work with the Trump Administration, at whatever few points of overlap in mission exist, to make people healthier? What this misses is the visibility and transparency of that play to the public, and its impact on trust

Doing a review relating to #COVID and early years.
The amount of pandemic papers published in predatory journals (👀) is wild. Presumably a quick publication turnaround
We really were in a rush to publish a ‘COVID paper’ at the expense of good science weren’t we?*

Australian social media ban on under-16s approved by Senate
The ban aims to reduce "harms" on children and will take at least a year to implement, the PM says.
