MPs will have blood on their hands if the proposals are like anything that we are hearing. When disabled organisations, benefits claimants, carers and health professionals are ALL warning you this would increase death and disadvantage, listen. Change cannot mean worse

Good rundown of Devon’s ‘tackling loneliness with transport’ scheme.
“… community transport, often seen as a last resort for those with mobility issues or in rural areas, plays a crucial role in building confidence and transitioning individuals towards independent travel”

The takeaway? SROI isn’t a universal truth. It’s a constructed number based on assumptions that can be tweaked. 🎲
So, what’s the alternative?
✅ Transparent, outcome-focused reporting
✅ Real-time impact measurement
✅ Less about headline ratios, more about real-world change 🌍

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

There’s hardly any other area of research that has stronger evidence than what we know about the detrimental effect of poverty over the lifecourse on health, yet when you say the biggest thing you can do to improve the public’s health is tackling poverty they call you ‘political’.
4.3 million children are in poverty
UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢
Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5

First repair of the week wasn't a laptop or PC.
It was a sheep. 🐏
Listening to The Archers has finally paid off. 🚜
Spotted a 'cast' ram whilst walking to the shop. It had rolled onto its back & due to a heavy wet fleece, couldn't right itself.
Here's the pro-guide.
