As well as being cruel when it comes to immigration, the Tories were negligent and incompetent. Not discussed enough.
"Cut corners" == made bad decisions and wasted public money. Another example of how performative cruelty in asylum policy both costs taxpayers *and* makes things worse for asylum seekers. @RobertJenrick again responsible.. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Unstoppable
Over $420 billion a year is lost to global tax abuse. The UK and its Overseas Territories are responsible for a third of this. With @TaxJusticeAfric, we’ve written to the Chancellor and Foreign Secretary asking them to end this. Find out more: taxjustice.uk/blog/the-uk-is…
8 out of 10 North East adults say alcohol is a problem regionally and nationally. Evidence-based action around price, promotion and availability is needed now more than ever. Hear why people in the North East say they’re concerned about alcohol. #TimeforAction ⬇
In this issue: EU alcohol labelling in limbo; US post-pandemic drinking stays high; Northern Ireland readies minimum pricing; Trump 2 brings uncertainty; Industry playbook outlined; Canada availability price. Opinion: Alcohol-free beer hype is unhelpful. philcain.com/alcohol-review…
The National Mission has focused resources on drug services over alcohol services, letting those with an alcohol problem down, as evidenced by the 40% decline in alcohol treatment referrals. Access to alcohol treatment & investment in residential rehab must be increased urgently.

Labour racked up the wins this week. Lots of new initiatives to make the country fairer and greener in particular. (Though much of it didn’t make the papers.) What you might have missed:
NEW: MoJ annual report reveals that Dominic Raab received severance payment of £16,876 when forced to quit as Justice Secretary after he was found to have bullied civil servants. (He had claimed £9k when he was sacked by Truss the year before) amp.theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Always interesting to see export data from @CSOIreland Alcohol make up just 1% of Ireland’s exports despite industry spin about how essential it is to Ireland’s economy. Mean time alcohol costs the state at least €12 bn annually. #GE2024
#Alcohol may reduce insulin sensitivity & derange your blood sugar levels. Heavy drinking may trigger pancreatitis & also may induce life threatening hypoglycemia. Know about the relationship between 🍺 and blood sugar. #WorldDiabetesDay #AlcoholAwareness
Dr Danny Chambers asks what @DHSCgovuk and @wesstreeting are doing to tackle alcohol deaths. ➡️Since 2019, deaths from alcohol have risen by a shocking 33% ➡️And since 2001, the rise has been 76% ➡️Deaths among women are now 91% higher than in 2001 @DannyVet
The researchers say that as the industry increasingly uses gendered tactics to target to consumers... it is ‘critical’ to take stock of what is known about current approaches to tackle the acceptability, availability & affordability of alcohol which encourages harmful drinking.
“We know one of the most rigorous studies found that MUP has a stronger impact on men than it did on women,” Professor Emslie who led the @WHO initiative to influence policymakers. @SubMisuseGcu @ScotFamADrugs @AlcoholFocus @SHAAPAlcohol @ChristinaSNP healthandcare.scot/stories/3997/a…
I really don't expect so much support. But, please if there's anyone outside the biased media, who thinks Keir Starmer is a kind of pretty good Prime Minister, please repost
I mean my family have been on this land for at least 800 years, but I guess as they were merely the labourers who worked the land rather than the ones who managed to grab ownership for themselves, we don’t count? Perhaps if inheritance tax is deemed unfair by farmers we can…

Terrible atmosphere minutes ahead of kick off between France and Israel at the Stade de France. As it should be. Bravo to every football fan who has refused to normalise having a genocidal state playing football. Governments don’t represent the people.
Lawrence O’Donnell “The most important thing to know about Robert Kennedy Jr. Is that there are probably people dead tonight because of him. Thousands of people who followed his medical advise on vaccines in the middle of a deadly pandemic.”
Marchena in Seville, Spain this evening...
Andy Borowitz nails it 👇 Trump looks like he will take 49.9% of the vote and land at a win margin of about 1.4 percent. That’s not even half the country’s voters who turned out and hardly a mandate for the radical change he is promising. Also, his popular vote percentage ranks…
