@10DowningStreet Better look into banning ultra processed foods from school meals that make 75% of school meals if you really want to make a difference.

We’re rolling out free breakfast clubs to the first 750 schools in April, saving working families up to £450 a year and setting children up to start the day ready to learn. Our Plan for Change will make sure every child has the best start in life.

@10DowningStreet You’ve already missed the opportunity for the best start in life (first 1000 days)!

No EU member state charges #VAT on education because it’s considered a public interest activity! Labour contemplating charging VAT is pure populism detrimental to the future of the education system and to the future of children #EducationNotTaxation #privateschools #BrokenBritain

Did you know @ucl is home to all five of the UK’s national birth cohorts? @CLScohorts @CLOSER_UK As part of a strategic investment from @UKRI_News, UCL and @BristolUni will lead @PopRes_UK to harness the potential of UK longitudinal population studies. ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/…

@Azeem_Majeed The original logo looks so much better.

My university, Imperial College, has gone through a rebranding and come up with a new logo. In my view, it looks terrible and is much worse than the logo it replaced (which at least mentioned we were a college and based in London). A complete waste of money.

@jburnmurdoch Many parents make sacrifices throughout their lives to save up for their children so their children can have a better life. Why did this become a question of ethics and is not a question of choice or even culture?

Quick thread on inheritance tax: Something that is massively under-discussed in this debate is how the “it’s unfair” argument is completely flipped on its head when you consider it from the perspective of the next generation instead of the person passing on the inheritance.

Helpful reminder by @andrzeio of the importance of considering evidence-based approaches for #PHM #AIDATA23 #NHS

@Gabri_EllaConti @UCLPolicyLab @ucl Congrats on your work anniversary! Such an important area of work that needs a lot more exposure and more in-depth understanding in the policy arena.

🌟 A pleasure to speak to @UCLPolicyLab on my life and work - on my 10-year anniversary @ucl!

Excellent presentation by Prof Simon Fraser about taking a life course approach to meeting the rising challenges of multiple long-term conditions and using #AI and #causalinference. #AIDATA23 #healthresearch @HealthAIData

UK public spending on education and care for children aged 0-5 is worryingly low compared to OECD average while costs for childcare are 3rd most expensive in the world. Shouldn’t we all be concerned?? #future #children #publicspending #inequality #earlychildhood

@beisgovuk So many things you can do to save on your energy bill.. -> PAGE NOT FOUND. That says it all!

Airport strikes going ahead and @_austrian insist flights are confirmed but have no clue if passengers will be allowed to enter security lines. No rebooking, no refunds in advance, no consideration for passengers at all #airportstrike #heathrowairport #chaos

Proof the support available for vulnerable first-time parents is not aligned to the level of need. More resources are needed to successfully reduce inequalities #fnp #reduceinequalities #publichealth #LevellingUp

NEW: Inequalities by family background emerge early and persist as children progress through the education system. @ckfarquharson, @Sandra_McNally & Imran Tahir’s findings from our IFS Deaton Review chapter on education inequalities, funded by @NuffieldFound, in a thread: [1/12]
