Congestion pricing is "win-win-win" policy "with hardly any losers," says @pkrugman.bsky.social. "The only thing I think Trumpists would find unappealing about the congestion charge, if it had been their policy, is that it doesn’t seem to punish anyone."

This figure, borrowed from Public Health Scotland, is an interesting comparison of the alcohol-specific deaths situation in Scotland and England - looking at the ratio between the two.
It highlights how big the gap was in the early 2000s, but also how it's fallen since Minimum Unit Pricing in 2018
