Earlier this month, one of our papers on the Soft Drinks Industry Levy was retracted by the BMJ and a correction published in BMJ Open. The process has been long and challenging. But we're pleased to be able to correct the record. My reflections: mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/blog/2023/12/1…

A systematic review and meta-analysis in BMC Medicine finds that a shift from animal-based (meat, eggs, dairy, butter) to plant-based (nuts, legumes, whole grains) foods lowers the risk of cardiovascular mortality, type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality.

Local government has a vital role in our health.

This is a great piece from Jennie Leggat The Health Foundation in The MJ on how a decade of cuts to council budgets is impacting our health and what can be done to help.

ICYMI, Monday's local gov finance policy statement suggests to expect the indicative 1.3% grant uplift announced last yr

It's based on predicted 24/25 GDP deflator at the time. This is now estimated at 1.7% meaning potential small RT cut in core PH grant

Thinking a fair bit about the gov's smoke-free generation policy at the moment and resurfaced this gem from Tobacco Control in 2013.

A wonderfully coherent argument about why the policy works, why it matters, and why its justified.

Our 'British-style' smoking ban is an step in our journey to a healthier, more prosperous country. A chance for global leadership. To show we can 'give up' self-destructive vices.

Don't let the NZ-style loss of willpower knock it off course. My piece.

Really difficult news from NZ as the incoming gov says it’ll scrap their world leading smokefree laws to fund tax cuts.

Short term political decision making with potential consequences for generations.

Where did the money for yesterday's tax cuts come from?

Here's the one chart Institute for Fiscal Studies summary of the Autumn Statement. Tax cuts were matched almost 1-for-1 by cuts in the real-terms generosity of public service budgets.
