Views are entirely my own but as no one lives in a social vacuum I can't guarantee I haven't been influenced by something or someone 😫

The rise in obesity and related diseases is not just a matter of individual choices – it’s the result of environments flooded with health-harming products including ultra-processed food, alongside policies that fail to protect young people. https://t.co/FpaGg7RMVQ

@SarahjevsEvans Don't appeal to the bores. Take it where you're appreciated. Up theirs

@MetroTravelNews @FirstWestYorks Yes it's completely ruined daughters journey to school in exam time. Parents having to get them there. School buses are useless and now this? With no warning to schools?

This ⬆️££ is v welcome.

BUT to reach the goal of no new HIV transmissions by 2030 we also need ⬆️ ££ for local sexual health services which, in England, are paid for not by the NHS, but by the #PublicHealth Grant which has been consistently ✂️since 2015.

We’re launching a new research project to look at how social media impacts young people’s mental health.

The results of this research will help policymakers better understand the relationship between children’s wellbeing and smartphone use 🤳

Remember, Safer Gambling Week is backed by gambling industry for a reason. It's really not effective. Unfortunately it continues to peddle messages of control which don't help. The fact it's repeated every year tells you all you need to know about its success.

@TheHouseMag @BetGameCouncil As long as it's enjoyed, I guess we can ignore all the devastation wreaked by gambling companies then...well done.

@SGWeek repeating myths actually strengthens them. So another ineffective campaign...

The gambling industry are totally aware of the harm they cause, but there's no reason for them to stop. Anyone still clinging to the line 'most people are ok' needs to develop a conscience.

@WillProchaska @louie_french @Steph_Peacock there are safer ways to combat loneliness than risking your mental health and finances - it shows what else is lacking if this is the solution

@PeteEtchells Maybe not bans of all screen-time. But developing brains - and anyone with vulnerabilities - should be better protected from relentless advertising and influence, and screens are a big source. We need less emphasis on individual responsibility. More on better regulation.
