Single biggest thing government could do to reduce number of economically inactive people who are long-term sick is sort out our mental health services. Two million people in England are on NHS mental health waiting lists. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

If you’re looking for a weekend listen check out this BBC radio programme on tennis player Althea Gibson- was delighted to choose her & talk about her life bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Great article A much healthier perspective is to shift our focus from aesthetics (can I take off my shirt?) to the functionality of fitness, exercise and nutrition (am I strong and healthy within my body, and can I do what I want to do with it?)

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! Today, British Black & Asian Women will be minimised or ignored on myriad ‘power/influence’ lists in the MSM So, why don’t we create one? Please add names & images below. For starters: @Halima_Begum @SholaMos1 @devisridhar @Beverleyknight
"Think of the people in Gaza, the children especially, who are being starved of food, deliberately. The constant pain in the abdomen, the lethargy, the slow depletion of all fat stores, then muscle, then body tissue." @devisridhar #CeasefireandAidNOW #Ceasefire_In_Gaza
I asked colleagues about starvation in Gaza. They said there is no precedent for what is happening | Devi Sridhar theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@devisridhar Debt interest payments have surged due to higher rates, higher welfare spending too due to illness. Spending on NHS (+3.6%), defence and childcare is now rising. Taxes up but also still lower than many other major European countries (as this graph shows).
Nearly 5M viewers in the UK have watched #Breathtaking in one week, and the number is still rising. So many people are finally seeing for themselves the untold sacrifices of #NHS staff in the first year of the Covid pandemic. All three episodes are now streaming @ITVX.
@devisridhar @jed_mercurio Thank you so much, Devi xx
