9/5/26. England. Google developers significantly misstate carbon emissions of proposed UK datacentres. Emissions understated by factor of five in Essex plans for tech giant, while Greystoke’s Lincolnshire plans show similar error https://t.co/BwiI7AQIyY

Healthy life expectancy falls in the UK – and the decline is worse among women. Of 21 high-income countries, the UK has fallen from 14th to 20th on this measure over the same period; only the US now ranks lower. https://t.co/iZX4JY6meH

Good health depends on multiple economic, social and environmental factors. Check the party manifestos for the Scottish Parliament election against ours https://t.co/THgmBJ1R5E

Eliminating fossil fuels is crucial to improving health and a key demand of our manifesto for the Scottish election. Excellent article on their insidiousness, the need for rapid transition and the steps to achieve it.

EXCLUSIVE: In 2002, systems analyst @TadHomerDixon modelled how modern civilisation collapses. He chose an Iran war closing the Strait of Hormuz as his example. The mechanism? "synchronous failure." We are now living inside his model /1🧵@bylinetimes https://t.co/ZUl67DOIBO

Our analysis of 22 countries reveals that tax-funded healthcare systems have lower admin costs compared to insurance-based healthcare systems.

Administrative costs consume 2.2 per cent of health spending in tax-funded systems compared to 3.5 per cent in insurance systems.

We must be clear: any use of a nuclear weapon, including a smaller so-called ‘tactical’ nuke, will likely set off a chain reaction that the human race cannot survive.

As war rages today is #WorldHealthDay. Internationally we demand peace, domestically we want to see our @ScotParl candidates study our manifesto if they are serious about wanting to improve health in Scotland https://t.co/THgmBJ1R5E

[People's Health Movement Scotland @PHMScotland]

Maximising the health of all Scots requires the demands of our manifesto to be met. A poll of our supporters revealed the following as the first priorities: a right to a healthy environment, a wealth tax and a national care service. Take note election candidates

Has Scotland's NHS recovered from the Covid pandemic? BBC Verify analysis shows many of the key targets in the 2021 Covid recovery plan have been missed and it is unclear how others are measured or will be achieved. https://t.co/CatOWzvVDa

Culture and health are intrinsically linked

[People's Plan For Glasgow @PeoplesPlanGlas]

That City Property acting in the best interests of the city and under effective oversight of elected representatives is drawn in to serious question. This culture of callous indifference and incompetence must be challenged and transformed for the city and its people to flourish
