Thread on 20mph zones, worth a read

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

People are crapping all over the plans to change Wales' speed limits to 20mph instead of 30mph.

There is a lot of noise about it but having looked at the evidence I believe this is actually a really good bit of policy.

Let me explain.

Suicide and economic downturns - clear principles and areas for action from @ProfAnnJohn and colleagues

[AnnJohn💙 @ProfAnnJohn]

We know there are links between recession, debt, unemployment and financial adversity. We also know there are things we can do about it. Our comment led by Mark Sinyor and Thomas Niederkrotenthaler The coming global economic downturn and suicide https://t.co/0Nb8RvDlgw

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

While commercial actors can contribute positively to health and society, a significant proportion are not.

Just 4 industry sectors are responsible for at least 1/3 of global deaths every year:
🚬 Tobacco
🍺 Alcohol
🍔 Unhealthy foods
🏭 Fossil fuels

The potential for benefit sanctions to harm health and equity came out in our evidence map https://t.co/KyQP1aDmFh

@tonywilsonIES highlights wider evidence of harms of approach, including how the UK is already unusual in its application in context of disability

Thread⬇️

[Tony Wilson @tonywilsonIES]

Here's a thread on the evidence on benefit sanctions, given reports that #Budget2023 will introduce an (even) "tougher" regime.

It is an appallingly bad idea.

First up is this excellent, thorough and sobering review by @Serena_Pattaro et al.
