3 things I heard on this morning’s news regarding sporting events… “it’s a really important day for them”...”they’ll all be packed in”…”this is once in a lifetime” Make it fair and lift the restrictions on weddings Boris #whataboutweddings

[Johanna Burton @Johanna12519241]

What if we swap the wedding and bridesmaids dresses for a football kit?…. #whataboutweddings @WAWofficialUK @BorisJohnson @michaelgove @MattHancock

[Rachel Potter @MissPotterOne]

@BBCNews If they're working so hard to make football happen, are they going to do the same for weddings? You know, seeing as weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime, inpossible-to-reschedule kind of thing? The kind of thing worth sharing with more than 28 others? Doubt it... #whataboutweddings

Is it good to help children eat? US research shows that nutrition matters. "Children with early access to food stamps grew to be better educated and have healthier, longer, and more productive lives." https://t.co/DyHh8LgDDt via @equitablegrowth

[Laura Jackman @loarj]

Really important discussion here and something I've often struggled with as an analyst throughout my work on Covid and in healthcare.

[Colin Angus @VictimOfMaths]

I think these maps raise some really interesting questions about the interrelationship between poor health, age and wider deprivation.

Why do young areas in the North of England have such high health deprivation?

Because this will be tying current situation to the roadmap, I’m concentrating on English data

[National Food Strategy @food_strategy]

Really interesting report by @thefoodrules, looking at how connected national food policy is in England. The report identifies food system issues where there is evidence of good connections and others where connections could be better. #foodstrategy #FRC

NEW: white people in England aged 80+ are being vaccinated at twice the rate of black people, and rates in deprived neighbourhoods are lagging behind less deprived areas https://t.co/MpIaF8DJJ1

The gaps are widening, suggesting fundamental challenges in ensuring equal protection
