Noooooo disenfranchised by yet another @GC_Rail delay
10 years ago, during the Flint crisis, 1 in 20 kids had elevated levels of lead in their blood. Today, in lower and middle income countries, that number is closer to 1 in 2 kids. @USAID is working to stop lead from robbing the next generation of their potential. Hear more:
Huge if true: "the Nepal Living Standard Survey 2022/23 shows a large decline in poverty from 25 percent to just 3.6 percent between 2011 and 2023" (though noting the Nepali gvt has raised the poverty line since 2011 so their reported rate is higher) worldbank.org/en/country/nep….

THREAD: It's exceptional for assessmnts to publish their costs so kudos to @HounkpodoteH & @CONFEMEN for the transparency in this article. Below are a few things I learned from engaging closely w. PASEC & being on their steerco in past years (1/n) globalpartnership.org/blog/pasec-eva…

I tend to trust the train guy have (& heard similar from national rail staff) - that there probably were some initial benefits after privatisation, but those gains have now been had

Exciting applied research job with a great NGO leading the fight against global lead poisoning
Mathare floods: met with community human rights groups this morning working on the ground in rescue & support efforts. A lot is needed. At least 600 people affected. We’ve set up a donations platform - all money goes to helping those affected: mchanga.africa/fundraiser/972…
Please RT: Our 100 new @malengo students need mentors! You will support them in university applications and preparing for life abroad. Time commitment 2–5h/month. You can do this remotely, and German skills are NOT required. You'll be paid. Details: malengo.org/volunteer-with…
Why is there nothing in the Renter's Reform Bill about lead poisoning? The US has had law since 1992 requiring landlords to disclose to renters if there's lead paint or not in old properties.
Our study w/@karthik_econ @c_r_walt on how to expand state capacity to improve child development in India is now out on @JPolEcon! We find that, in staff-constrained public childcare centers, hiring an extra worker improves child learning and nutrition. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…

For people to back government taking their money and sending it abroad the more trust the better. And we've got a problem with that.
@leecrawfurd @apmcdonnell @GiveWell I don't think so, no. Just to recall, I was clear that my suggestions were "For me personally (and I don't think I'd recommend this for the general public)". So in this case if you want my strongest support DFID (and replacement) would be in Leeds.
Fantastic for me and @SamJRushworth to join Joy Allen @PccJoyAllen at the Durham Police and Crime Commissioner count today and to congratulate Joy on her resounding win. A big thank you to everyone who backed Joy in this week’s election. 🗳️ 🌹
Tories get slaughtered in elections. Cue anti migrant propaganda. People aren’t buying what they’re selling. They’ve been out in their thousands this week protecting people. We like migration. We need migration. People move. Get over it.
We promised to deliver the biggest ever cut in legal migration. We’re delivering on our promise 👇
Another big gain in a critical Westminster seat for a good Labour majority.
🚨New paper alert🚨 We have a new working paper on a unique way to improve interethnic relationships: "Leveraging Edutainment and Social Networks to Foster Interethnic Harmony" w/ @mvlass @yveszenou1 CEPR: cepr.org/publications/d… Ungated: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… 🧵 A thread...
@lymanstoneky it’s wild to me that people are simultaneously mad at EAs for holding weird and wrong beliefs and also mad at EAs for holding beliefs that are reasonable and fairly popular. Granted these are different people, but still
wish I could tweet something clever about the locals but sadly my only thought is that whenever I read about North Yorkshire my brain wants to shorten it to "Norkshire"
@leecrawfurd @apmcdonnell For me personally (and I don't think I'd recommend this for the general public), 1/ Fund more evaluation of aid effectiveness by strong sceptics. 2/ Be clearer about the domestic trade-offs (eg. "we cancelled Leeds tram to pay for these malaria nets, this is why that's right").
@leecrawfurd Sort of. I asked if they thought that they knew enough about EA to discuss it with a friend. Most didn't (I ran this mid 2022 though, it's been a long time to get it to this point). Of those that did, a plurality picked 50 on a 0-100 feeling thermometer, so indifferent.
When you strip out the branding of EA and just ask development studies professors if they agree with EA ideas, they overwhelmingly do. (based on a survey I ran of such profs in Canada, USA, UK)
@thomasforth Gay Marriage is an easy go to ... but it does have to have to carry the coda that more Tories voted against it than for (reduced/shared credit for stuff you have to pass on a free vote/non-coalition partner votes?).
My, Additions, 4/ Gay marriage. 5/ Ukraine policy. Rejections, * Digitisation (GDS, .gov.uk, and NHSx) despite a lot of love in the replies. I'm in too deep. * Pension triple lock. * Pension auto-enrollment. Persuadables, * Universal Credit. * Net zero. * Minimum wage hikes.
Congratulations 🎉 to @DSkaith the newly elected #NorthYorkshireMayor - we hope together with @CityofYork he will fulfill pledges to make #ActiveTravel a viable choice for everyone in #York and help put in place a new transport strategy for a #HealthierHappier city.
A nice man from UCL Hospital called this week, to say a scan of me showed the cancer I had has all gone. The treatment worked, the cancer bottled it and ran off, the wimp.
Ashworth reacts to 16pt swing in Lincolnshire PCC by-election… tells Jonathan Gullis: “well you’d be toast wouldn’t you”
Homosexual behaviour in animals is extremely common. Thinking that teaching reality about people to children will make them all go gay and humans go extinct is not normal. Being gay is far more ‘normal’ than wearing a stupid hat indoors, which is considered very rude.
George Galloway: Children shouldn’t be taught that gay relationships are “normal”.
Remember, on this election day, that your right to complain is inalienable and voting because people have died for your right to vote is the sunk cost fallacy.
Okay I owe brutalist architecture an apology, turns out it can be incredibly beautiful
