2025 bowled in in style and I take this as the best omen there can be

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Women tend to go to the office less frequently than men. Hmm, I wonder why that is.. and I wonder whether you could take some action on the care burden women carry rather than blame them and limit the opportunities they can access

Working out your plans for 2025?Why not factor in our Big Tent event tinyurl.com/yeyve4tn A great opportunity to engage with, researchers, business leaders, policy-makers &voluntary organisations working for change in the agri-food system to meet the UK’s net zero 2050 goal🎪

There are two parents playing nursery rhymes on an iPad at full volume on a three hour train journey. When is this going to end? The lack of respect for others in shared spaces, not the journey.

The problem is this. Healthy lives, and life expectancy, are often determined well before anyone sets foot in a hospital. Supporting our NHS means tackling the social and the commercial determinants of health - poverty, inequalities, poor housing, unhealthy food. www.thetimes.com/article/1130...

As a food writer I feel it's important to report that sometimes the solution to your problems is eating as much mac and cheese as physically possible

Former prime ministers and health secretaries say governments have failed on obesity. New report by @henrydimbleby.bsky.social & @dollyvantulleken.bsky.social found widespread support from senior politicians for more govt intervention on obesity. @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/article/dbb9...

Over the last 30 years, obesity levels have doubled while politicians on all sides have tried and mostly failed to get a grip on the problem. Too often obesity reduction policies were abandoned, derailed, watered down or lost in the system. What went wrong? www.nesta.org.uk/report/nouri...
