This weekend marks the two-child limit's 8th birthday, and the point at which 30,000 children will have been pushed into poverty by the policy since the election. The government must scrap this policy to begin to reduce child poverty.

The United Nations has called for “justice and answers” after the bodies of eight Palestinian medics, six first responders, and one UN staff member—still in their uniforms and gloves—were recovered from a mass grave in southern Gaza after an attack by Israeli forces www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Everyone knows when penguins impose tariffs, they do so for life

Myanmar, no earthquake assistance, instead a 44% tariff.

#BMJExclusive Experts have voiced concerns over the significant presence of industry figures on the UK government’s new Food Strategy Advisory Board, after it emerged that 50% of its membership represented food companies and distributors. @emahase.bsky.social reports www.bmj.com/content/389/...

As this government came to power I and many others urged them to scrap the two-child benefit limit, which would instantly have taken 250,000 kids out of poverty. Not only did they not do that, their policies will now push a further 250,000 people (inc 50k kids) into poverty. Deeply demoralising.

Stop children suffering, and then balance the books - Child poverty is a political choice - Child hunger is a political choice - Avoidable child mortality is a political choice - Inequality in school readiness is a political choice Thatcher would be proud of Labour today

The government's own analysis shows that planned cuts to disability benefits would force 50,000 children into poverty. I will be voting against this. No Labour MP should be voting to push children into poverty.

Strong, and very true, statement from some fantastic people pushing for change. This economic approach is dangerous

Risk of bias assessment of randomised controlled trials has become an essential step in the systematic review process. A new tool allows users to assess risk of bias of RCTs included in systematic reviews in a user friendly way www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.

Disabled people are more likely to report being in poor health and have higher mortality rates than non-disabled people. Explore the latest insights in a new section of our Evidence Hub exploring the impact of disability on #HealthInequalities ⬇️ buff.ly/JSlmUUQ

Socioeconomic determinants of outcome in childhood asthma Well done to one of our stellar clinical PhD students Karl Holden!

Our latest report found over 1 in 5 people in the UK are in poverty. On Friday we are hosting an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit - you can ask our analysts about the stats, the modelling, policy, and the picture of poverty across the UK. 🙋 Join our session: www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics...

Today ONS have published data on alcohol-specific deaths across the UK in 2023. We already knew most of the figures, but there are a few new bits of detail in today's release. The headline is that alcohol deaths have risen to their highest level on record. Which is obviously pretty bleak.

Important new @local.gov.uk report on progress by councils in tackling health inequalities by addressing the social determinants of health through the ‘Marmot Eight’ principles, featuring Marmot Place case studies & underlines need for national leadership

The US, UK, Germany and other Western nations have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza, eroding the rules-based international order established after WWII. Yet millions worldwide understand: silence on Palestine is complicity in a system that will treat all of us as disposable.

Someone once said to me “Hitler and Eva Braun basically invented the concept of centre parcs” Same vibes

The justice system is an absolute joke. Imagine not going to jail for this? The system is absolutely rigged against young women. What a disgusting man.

I’m all for this too
