Sheffield's new public health plan is radical. REALLY radical ‼️ It shows that the main causes of ill health are not our personal choices but systems that make us sicker and unhappier. I looked into the details for Now Then Magazine with help from greg fell FFPH 👇 nowthenmagazine.com/articles/sheff…




❗️ NEW: Labour's "Great British Energy" firm will only recieve £100 million in funding in the next 2 years, despite Labour promising to invest £8 billion by mid-2029. (Via Financial Times)


Enjoyed some headspace, connecting & thinking at the Fearless Cities Fearless Cities: South Yorkshire event today. A few take home points to sit on, think about and put into action. Thanks to Opus Independents& all others involved in running the event.


After years of being a frequent flyer, I stopped completely in 2019. Now an event at @GranthamCSF has asked whether we all need to fly less to avert climate catastrophe. Is it time for Sheffield to stop flying? 🛬 Now Then Magazine @chappersmk Stuart Walker nowthenmagazine.com/articles/is-it…


Nobody taking a serious look at yesterday’s election could honestly describe it as ‘democratic’. But that is what mainstream journalists in the US and the UK have done. In doing so they have misled us, and put democracy itself at risk. For Now Then Magazine ⬇️ nowthenmagazine.com/articles/no-re…

🖇️A MUST-READ 🖇️From Now Then Magazine, Sam Gregory (Sam Gregory | bsky.app/profile/sammgreg.bsky) tells us that Mayor Oliver Coppard (Oliver Coppard) is preparing to pump vast amounts of public money into the project – but has refused to say how the supposed benefits were arrived at. #IMA nowthenmagazine.com/articles/irres…

Sheffield looks set to miss its 2030 net-zero target by a massive margin, according to new figures on UK decarbonisation. Is it time to start asking difficult questions about whether our economic system is up to the challenge? Sam Gregory | bsky.app/profile/sammgreg.bsky reports ⬇️ nowthenmagazine.com/articles/sheff…

This morning UBI Lab Manchester, part of the UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 stewarded by Opus, launched an incredibly exciting proposal for a #BasicIncome pilot in Greater Manchester. It builds on Andy Burnham's manifesto commitment to "make the case" to the government for a pilot in GM ⬇️

We believe this is the best way for Andy Burnham to follow through on the commitment he made in his election manifesto: 🗨️ "The logical next step, after the success of our GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot" @GreaterMCR #Manchester #BasicIncomeMCR

From Andy Burnham ‘s 2024 manifesto: “The logical next step, after the success of our GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot" This pilot proposal shows how this is possible, so we can reduce homelessness and poverty
