Bradford Council is set to launch a campaign to educate young people on the “psychological and social impact of gambling addiction”. Due to run throughout March, the social media-focused campaign will alert 18 to 34-year-olds to “commercial tactics used by gambling companies” and promote “resources for those affected by gambling harm”. According to a report on Bradford Council’s Gambling Related Harm Action Plan 2025/26, a high proportion of the city’s 139 gambling permits are located in the most deprived areas. It also stated: “Increased gambling harm is linked to people living in more deprived areas and unemployed and increased exposure to gambling can make some people more vulnerable to gambling harms, e.g. The businesses account for 18 per cent of local shops in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, up from twelve per cent in 2015.

Sir Chris Wormald left the role on Thursday after just 14 months as Sir Keir sought to shake up his Downing Street operation in the wake of the Peter Mandelson scandal. Lord Simon McDonald said the Prime Minister should start the recruitment process “from scratch” to ensure there was proper “due diligence”. In the meantime, Dame Antonia is one of the three civil servants filling in as cabinet secretary, alongside Cabinet Office permanent secretary Cat Little and Treasury permanent secretary James Bowler. After 35 years in the Civil Service, Sir Chris is now the shortest-serving cabinet secretary in history, lasting less than the 23 months Sir Mark Sedwill held the position for under Theresa May and Boris Johnson. A similar payment of almost £250,000 previously had to be approved by Mr Johnson when the now Lord Sedwill stood down as cabinet secretary in 2020.

During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday (February 10) Haringey Council decision-makers gave the green light for new financial regulations to improve budgetary controls over its indebted schools. Cllr Brabazon explained that declining numbers of pupils in borough-run schools have compounded financial difficulties. The new financial regulations being implemented by Haringey Council are part of broader plans to get the borough’s school budgets under control within the next three years. As was confirmed on Tuesday, this will also mean reducing the number of state school places by 45 from the start of the September 2027 school year.

It was with deep frustration that I noted various commenters on LinkedIn seizing on a recent Guardian article titled ‘Revealed: how aviation emissions could be halved without cutting journeys’(1) – which reported on an academic paper(2) published in Communications, Earth and Environment that described how aviation emissions could be halved without reducing journeys. The three main solutions proposed were flying newer aircraft, replacing premium classes with economy seating and increasing load factors, yet each of these comes with their own challenges. The cheap seatsCompanies such as the UK's Mirus Aircraft Seating are refining economy class seats. It does not appear that this was included in the model and would in reality offset some of the calculated emissions reduction. Of course reducing empty seats will reduce emissions per passenger, but no practical solutions to increase load factor to the proposed 95% are suggested.
