When you start a book the night before going back to work and now you have to pull yourself away and return to the real world. 😒 The Murmurs by @michaelJmalone1 has me so invested and captivated! Half way through it and already it is lighting up with all the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We need to talk about the silent gap in global healthcare... Not a rare disease. Not an emerging virus. But half the population. A new analysis from Global Action on Men’s Health (GAMH) reveals that just 0.83% of major international public health conference content over the past five years focused explicitly on men’s health. Let that sink in... - Women’s health received 25 times more attention. - Youth health: 5 times more. - Older people: 6 times more. And if you remove HIV-related sessions (where “men” is often shorthand for gay males), the real figure drops to below 0.5%. This isn’t about taking anything away from women or other groups. It’s about recognising a glaring omission. Because the reality is this: => Men die younger. => Male mortality rates massively exceed female rates. => Men dominate suicide statistics. => Men are disinclined to seek help from systems that lack empathy and that hold antipathy for them. => Boys are falling behind across multiple health and wellbeing measures... Behind every statistic is a story. - A father who dies far too young, for his children (and grandchildren). - A young man who doesn’t have the language to ask for help. - A worker who pushes through pain, and becomes a statistic rather than being seen as a whole person. These aren't edge cases. They are patterns. Yet our health systems, policies, and global conversations remain largely gender-blind when it comes to men and boys. If something affects billions of people, shortens lives, and impacts families and communities… why is it almost invisible at the highest levels of global health? This isn't just a health issue. It’s a social and economic one. Healthier men mean stronger families, more engaged fathers, more productive workers, and more resilient communities. The call from GAMH is simple: acknowledge the gap and act. We need: ✔ Targeted male-friendly health services ✔ Public health campaigns that speak to men (in their language) ✔ Early intervention for boys ✔ Serious representation in policy and research Because ignoring men’s health doesn’t create equality. It creates imbalance. And ultimately, everyone pays the price...

I used to be such a huge fan of @JamesTCobbler, and was loving his appointment as Minister of Prisons in 2024 by @Keir_Starmer; but it's shocking to see him become so spineless, and morally bankrupt, after such a short tenure in politics. For the record – I am a huge prison reformist, and truly believe most of the people in prison have been failed, shouldn't be there, and are only being further harmed in being locked up in a broken carceral system. But how James can centre these long overdue prison reforms entirely on women, when they comprise just 4% of the prison population, is utterly shameful, devoid of common sense, compassion, human decency, and couldn't be a clearer example of "two tier" justice. Why is he doing this? Experiences of Abuse James argues many women in prison are victims of abuse, and they are: research by the Prison Reform Trust indicates 53% of female prisoners report being abused as children. But 29% of male prisoners report the same, showing abuse is a substantial issue for both sexes. Source: prisonreformtrust.org.uk/prisoners-need… Mental Health Issues James argues many women in prison have mental health issues, and they do; 76% of female prisoners have mental health issues; however 70% of male prisoners report the same. Source/s: prisonreformtrust.org.uk/wp-content/upl… publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cm… Parenting Roles James says many mothers are imprisoned, and this harms families; and I agree, they are, and it does. However a similar percentage of male prisoners are fathers too; the Government estimates 53% of male prisoners are fathers of dependent children, compared to 55% of female prisoners who are mothers. Source: gov.uk/government/sta… Head Injuries James argues many women in prison have serious brain injuries, and yes, again, they do. 65% of female prisoners have a traumatic brain injury, with slightly lower rates of 51-60% for male prisoners. Source/s committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc… theguardian.com/society/2019/f… I could go on, but the point is clear – This is not effective policy at all; it's gutless, ideological, political pandering, that will leave countless thousands of imprisoned men behind, and failed as part of a two-tier justice system. Not only is this policy immoral, it is illegal. The Equality Act of 2010 only allows such discriminatory policy if it is a ‘proportionate’ means of achieving a ‘legitimate aim’. And it is neither of these things. Consider also the stats I gave are percentages, and whilst they are already similar in such relative terms; when you scale for the fact that the male prison population is 25X larger than the female prison population, it means, in absolute terms, each of these issues in male prisons utterly dwarf how prevalent they are in female prisons – which James ignores entirely. My point is simple – Vulnerable prisoners should be helped on the basis of need, not gender. Shame on you James. Your cowardice will cost men their lives.
