“Need to shift focus from creating health-literate individuals to developing health-literate systems, including health-literate businesses acknowledging “investment in health of employees not only ‘nice to have’ attribute or philanthropic activity but ‘need to have’ investment”

A powerful piece from Peter Reading - his remarks on the welfare reforms and their ipotential impact on both disabled people and the NHS got a very warm response at the #ALF2025

a major flaw in the decision to abolish NHS England is the illusion that it is possible to control the NHS. It is a disconnected hierarchy in which those at the top have a tenuous relationship with the front line Wes Streeting Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ Stephen Kinnock bmj.com/content/388/bm…

Great thread from Max on new NEF analysis showing that rising PIP claims are being driven by higher rates of disability combined with increasing financial hardship, with no indication that it's getting easier to claim People in real need of support will lose out from cuts

NEW ANALYSIS: A rise in financial hardship is a key driver of the increase in benefit claims. These new figures cast serious doubts on the government’s justification for cutting disability and incapacity payments. 1/10

This is one of the most powerful things you’ll watch online or TV. It puts the Tories, and in particular Kemi Badenoch, to shame. Not to mention anyone else who has tried to use the horror of the grooming gangs for political point-scoring.
