It is pretty clear that what @citysamuelis arguing is we (people like her) could do better if the rich could leave the poor behind.

Such sad news. Chris was my supervisor for my IR BSc in the early 00s. He was very kind to me and inspired as a teacher - his lectures had the power to shock and we revered him, but he made us laugh and was not aloof. He was a brilliant writer too. A lovely man and a huge loss.

Congratulations to Greece for the great improvement in #organ donation and transplantation activity based in a holistic approach to develop donation with the support of #Onassis Foundation and the proactive work of #Hellenic Transplant Organization ESOTtransplant edtco

After years of overspends and failed savings drives, the Treasury and Govt are increasingly mired in mistrust with the health and care sector they fund. This seems a niche and nerdy issue, but I think there are 5 ways in which it has become a real problem nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nhs-…

Some people have responded to that chart with "That can’t be right", or "We can’t be worse than America". I’m afraid the chart is right. 15 years ago the UK’s record on homelessness *was* not too dissimilar to other developed countries, but things have rapidly deteriorated.

We don’t often have vacancies in our The Health Foundation policy team and now we have two! 😮 It really is a fantastic place to work with an exciting year ahead in health, care, and public health policy. Closes 28th August. Apply here 👇👇 lde.tbe.taleo.net/lde01/ats/care…
