So: Rishi Sunak strays into yet another subject he is utterly unqualified to speak about, mental health. Let me tell you my story... 🧵
Some brief comments on the European Commission’s proposal to get a mandate to negotiate a youth mobility agreement with the UK. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
This is insane shit. "Access to treatment". What? People with debilitating health conditions should already be getting access to NHS treatment, and if not, that'll be because of long waiting lists, which twiddling with PIP rules doesn't solve. Sunak is an absolute clowndork.

Nothing can undo or heal the incredible pain that women like Amanda have endured. Trump is the reason women across our nation are suffering.
The top ten states with the highest rates of maternal mortality have all passed abortion bans. Trump and extremists say they are motivated by the health and well-being of women and children—but they’re silent on maternal mortality. The hypocrisy abounds.
@lewis_goodall Trump will do anything to avoid being woke.

Whether Labour can also hold firm on its commitments over planning was also a question raised by @NewStatesman Britain Editor @Anoosh_C on the show this week. What’s your thoughts? Join us here at 7pm tonight for The Debrief as we look at this and more from this week’s episode!
This is clearly overstating it but I am so frustrated that supposedly impartial news outlets feel the need to follow the Mail’s agenda.

John O'Farrell on Rayner: "For the BBC to say we have to cover this because the Mail keep covering it. It's not a story just because the Mail says it is" Laura Kuenssberg: "The Police aren't a bunch of pussycats who just investigate something because a Tory MP tells them to..."
Just seen the left-hand chart doing the rounds on Twitter Helpful reminder that starting points matter for time series. The chart on the right starts in 2009 and changes the story a bit! Pretty bad practice from @BBC - it was an active (and disingenuous) choice to start in 2013
What happened when the Tees Valley mayor took on the port next door - this was quite the ride yesterday and it was just the costs hearing. Free to read on.ft.com/3vwft3G
There was some big news this week which should have been top of the news agenda - the fact that it wasn’t and the story that dominated the public space instead tells a worrying story about the priorities of many in this country 🧵
The WASPI campaign is fascinating for what it reveals about our ideas of social justice and the responsibility of government for our wellbeing. It shows a confused mix of justifications for spending on the older population which mangle distinct conceptions of the welfare state
the #WASPI case raises important issues for government on communicating policy - but also questions on how much we can expect citizens to pay attention to what govt does

The Sunday Times has a report on the poor state of NHS infrastructure. We polled public attitudes to paying more tax to provide the NHS with additional funding. The results are unexpected.
This slow-moving crash is getting so little attention. Between fees, Brexit, and 'cracking down' on visas, unis anticipate a 37% drop in foreign students. And that means they may have to cut places for Brits! A perfect microcosm of how migration hysteria causes self-harm. ~AA
