As Professor Colin Angus states: "We've spent the last year listening to the government say sensible, if generic, things about being committed to a prevention agenda. We're seeing today that this, from the perspective of alcohol, was all mouth and no trousers whatsoever."

"Embarrassing" 10-Year Plan. The government has published its 10-Year Health Plan, which fails to include any of the most-effective prevention policies on alcohol. The only measures are to improve labelling and support the growth of the zero..(1/2) assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686638...

🧵 People with both mental health and substance use difficulties are fighting a battle on two fronts. But they often face closed doors to care, unable to access services for one until they've dealt with the other. This has to change. tinyurl.com/yeynkxba #SubstanceUse #MentalHealth

Illustration of a figure walking away from two closed doors. One door is labelled 'substance use services' and the other is labelled 'mental health services'. Text reads: People with both substance use and mental health difficulties too often face closed doors to care. This has to change

The far right feeds on fear, scapegoats, and fake "us vs. them" battles. The worst thing you can do is echo them. The best thing? Call them out and offer a better story. A thread 🧵 #NoPasaran #StandUpToHate 1/

Since England's alarming alcohol death statistics are in the news again today, here's a particularly alarming fact buried in the figures DHSC have released - For the first time, in 2023 the rate of alcohol-specific deaths in the North East of England overtook Scotland and have risen 55% since 2019

A line chart showing age-standardised alcohol-specific death rates for every region of England, plus Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland from 2001-2023. Except for Scotland, everywhere follows a similar trend - fairly stable, or rising gradually until 2019, then a sharp rise, although with significant variation between regions - London and the East/South East at the bottom and the Midlands and North at the top. In 2001 Scotland had more than double the rate of anywhere in England, but this fell substantially until 2011, then plateaued, and has risen less than many parts of the rest of the UK since 2019. In 2023, the North East overtook Scotland for the first time.

Here's my version of a graph originally by the British Liver Trust showing how rates of liver disease deaths in England & Wales have almost quadrupled since 1968, while other leading causes of death have fallen. In spite of working in alcohol research for 13+ years, this still surprised me...
