Our appetite for redistributing income has tracked concerns about inequality for 35 years, though at a lower level.

During the pandemic both rose sharply, with support for redistribution nearing 50% - almost as high as in 1989.

Dissatisfaction with the #NHS is at its highest for 20 years

BLOG: Despite growing support for more flexible and inclusive workplaces, attitudes to workers with mental health conditions tend to be more negative than attitudes to those with physical impairments.

New article by Joseph Cant for #WorldMentalHealthDay: https://t.co/0Is0oydQBg

[NatCen @NatCen]

But fewer would be comfortable having someone with a mental health condition as their boss than someone with a physical impairment
