Calling all MPs to check this constituency map for their Health and Diet Inequalities results. Some shocking outcomes ! @Food_Foundation
🚨BREAKING NEWS: Shocking health and diet disparities revealed today🚨
🆕Our brand new Health and Diet Inequalities Dashboard makes it clear that the most deprived areas of the country also have the highest rates of disease related to poor diet.
🚸Children born in these constituencies are much more likely to develop #childhoodobesity, type 2 #diabetes, #dentaldecay and live shorter lives, with the North of England worst affected.
🔍How does your constituency rate? Explore the new dashboard now➡️bit.ly/inequalitiesdashboard
📢Share and tag your MP - this is a resource for the Government to target intervention on #foodsystems and #childpoverty

"Kemi Badenoch is playing games with people's future jobs if she plans to extract every last drop of the North Sea's declining oil and gas reserves".
Exec director @ShaunSpiers1 comments on today's statement from @KemiBadenoch ⤵️
Laura Sandys CBE retweeted
The jobs of the future are in clean energy, not oil and gas.
@KemiBadenoch 's promise to drill every last drop out of the North Sea is a "retrograde step" towards a less secure energy system that's much less attractive to investors, explains exec director @ShaunSpiers1 ⤵️
Thank you so much @KerryMP for being with our food ambassadors. And for your support over the years. @Food_Foundation
🤝 Some of the young Food Ambassadors we work met Climate Minister @KerryMP!
They discussed rising food prices due to extreme weather, the food system's impact on #climatechange and the new @GOVUK Food Strategy.

This is a fabulous announcement. Thank you for listening to all those young people who have been making the case for years. And proud of @Food_Foundation who have campaigned with others to help make this happen.
Free school meals to be extended to 500,000 more children in England, learning from Wales where there are universal free school meals in primary schools. Wales will get matching funding - which could be used to further extend free school meals
