Danny from south Birmingham wants to close down every hospital in the UK. It shouldn't be difficult to explain why he probably wouldn't actually want what he stands for.

This is a graph of the Nationwide real house price index. In real terms, adjusted for inflation, house prices have come down quite a lot since they peaked in 2007.

Primogeniture is an old trick to stop land from being subdivided on inheritance, and maintain it in large bundles, while most people are squeezed into small houses in urban areas.

This is the key point; it's so easy to think of your home as "safe" and "out there" as unsafe, but in fact it's the opposite.

Slightly more people don't want less traffic. It's a double negative, but this means, on balance, people want *more* traffic in Birmingham? I think the city's transport problems will be around for some time.

It's all down to alcohol. The number of pubs in the UK has dropped by 1/3 compared to 1980. Those heavy young drinkers in the past have grown older and calmed down.

Here's fertility in Denmark. Lots of family-affirming policies in the country haven't stopped the fall in fertility in recent years. But things were going better up until the great financial crash.

Interesting idea but it's not what's playing out at the moment. Here are average February temperatures for 30-year periods starting 1961 and 1991. From the Met Office

In 2012, Andrew Lansley completely restructured the NHS (Health and Social Care Act 2012) which stopped the annual efficiency gains that the NHS had been making up to that point.

I'm amazed at this: 30% believe there's electoral fraud in the UK 🤪. In person, such fraud would require forged documents. By post, the registration and the actual vote are checked. There's very little fraud, and it doesn't impact the electoral outcome.
