@zackpolanski.bsky.social when the media inevitably come gunning for you, challenge the editors of the sun, mail, express, telegraph to a televised 4 on 1 debate.
They won't of course. So then you can call them out as the cowards they are & methodically unpick their histories and vested interests

Lively Minds is an outstanding podcast about mental health centring people with lived experience and exploring mental health in a wholistic way.
They occasionally talk to academics, and I was lucky enough to be interviewed about my new book, Beyond Happy.

Has anyone - anyone at all - vaguely adjacent to government decision makers provided any justification for keeping FPP for combined authority elections? I can’t think of any strong reason not can I recall seeing anyone making such a defence. Perhaps I’ve missed it.
For for the West of England mayoralty More in Common have:
Lab: 23%
Con: 21%
Reform: 18%
Green: 18%
LD: 15%
It is genuinely absurd to have an election with that kind of spread decided by first past the post. Unjustifiable.

UPDATED post:
I've added new mayoral polling from YouGov and More in Common to my comprehensive local elections preview post. And I've also changed a few predictions for councils.

Great piece this. I’d love to see those figures in the graph over, say, the last 20 years…has the MH situation worsened? I mean, I expect it has, from what I saw with Theatre Hullabaloo and Newcastle City Council, and as a member of an ICB Place Committee.
North East England has an “unspoken mental health crisis” according to @johntomaney.bsky.social
I spoke to @alisdairc.bsky.social of ReCoCo to try and find out why.
I wrote about it in @nebylines.bsky.social and made a podcast about it for Lively Minds

Why is North East England (still) so mentally unwell?
"...your lack of proximity to power means that your voices are not heard, your concerns are not heard, and you are essentially forgotten about.”

Thanks! It was a great conversation with @alisdairc.bsky.social
A must listen for NE health folk. Why is the north east so mentally unwell? The frankly ace Alisdair Cameron , ReCoCo talks with equally ace Will Sadler on Lively Minds. Listen for regional analysis and understanding, local solutions, empathy. Thanks both
