🚨 NEW: Tony Blair pushes back against the surge in mental health benefits payments
“You really cannot afford to be spending the amount of money we’re spending on mental health … the ramp up in the last few years has been dramatic”
Fascinating piece from @soniasodha
Would love a conversation about where these instincts come from...
"There’s shame on the liberal left associated with admitting to moral instincts that can’t fully be explained through rationale or reason; a sense that what you can’t evidence you should toss away. But we would all do well to remember that some things are above evidence, and, liberal or not, we all have our own ethical codes. I think it’s healthier to be open about them than to pretend they don’t exist and look down on those who refuse to do the same."
What if, there's evidence for these instincts?
What if belief in God is the best explanation for some of our deepest held moral instincts?
It's a brave and excellent piece.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.
The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.
A fertility rate below 1.6 means 50% less new people after three generations, say 100 years. Below 1.2 means an 80% drop.
The U.S. is at 1.64. China, Japan, Poland, Spain all below 1.2. South Korea is at 0.7—96% drop.
Mass extinction numbers.
The precipitation forecast for Russian winter #wheat regions remains concerningly dry... 🌾
Some areas will receive 10-20 mm, which could help a lot, but others won’t see much rain, or it will arrive too late.

Don't be dumb twitter, and figure out the difference between facts and manipulation.
Facts: "A Louis Dreyfus Company #grain facility in Odesa was hit by a missile on Wednesday, the company said.
The missile hit the truck discharge bay at its Brooklyn Kyiv facility, but no employees were harmed and products stored in silos were undamaged. Repair work is not expected to “materially disrupt terminal operations”" - BBG
Manipulation:
WOW! Everyone should listen to this superb maiden speech from newly appointed Prisons, Parole & Probation Minister @JamesTCobbler in the House of Lords today
What an absolutely inspired appointment this is👏👏👏
@krishk I think this is sensible of Labour. These MP’s were voted in on a manifesto which didn’t promise scrapping two child benefit limit. It’s a desire to scrap it but give the bloke sometime. Child benefit is not a silver bullet for child poverty…
Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.
How we speak to or about our political opponents is a mark of the state of our democracy.
Here are my reflections on #DavidTennant and #KemiBadenoch
