In response to the Prime Minister’s announcement that the General Election will take place on Thursday 04 July 2024. We are calling on all parties to prioritise the prevention of mental ill-health and recognise there is no health without mental health.

New 'research' professors have been appointed, whilst current academics in 11 departments, including in Sociology are up for the chop, from an unknown panel who will score us.

A new report from @PublicHealthW focuses on #system #leadership behaviours for improving and protecting health. #publichealth leaders have to work across multiple ‘systems’ because the causes of public health issues are often complex and multi-faceted. https://t.co/JHGGoYoguf

Am so very sad to hear this news, one of my favourite poets and performers. I will never forget seeing him in Norwich in the 1993. Voice of a generation RIP Benjamin Zephaniah.

When Kemi Badenoch becomes the first Black Prime Minister hopefully we can bury the myth that 'Black faces in high places' is progress

@TracieJolliff Have found real lack of culturally appropriate/welcoming services in areas where there isn’t much diversity. I have had to go out of borough for my mum’s care. It is so expensive. I am sorry that your mum is facing this. Could you up the care level at home somehow?

If you like charts/articles/threads of the form "America is x, Britain is y", then I can also recommend this one, which does look at individual incomes / living standards, but not sub-national differences https://t.co/be2moiM7dJ

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Amazing council commitment to both antipoverty and healthy eating for kids

[Tower Hamlets Council @TowerHamletsNow]

Free school meals will be rolled out to all Tower Hamlets secondary school pupils from September 2023 - making us the first in the country to do this.🏆

Providing free, healthy lunches improves pupils' learning and saves families money.

Speaking first at FPH’s #TacklePovertyImproveHealth conference with @R_S_P_H, @ADPHUK and @RoySocMed is @MichaelMarmot.

“The poor are becoming poorer.”

Deprived communities are the most in need, whilst receiving the least support - we need urgent action to protect health.
