Jabs for the rich, moralising for the poor
On The Abundance Agenda this week:
* Martin digs into the Ten Year Plan for the NHS (which is more important than whether Rachel Reeves was smiling) – and we get mad at the stupid moralising about the use of weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic.
* James explains why the innocuous new GOV.UK app is actually a major step towards the total transformation of the British state.
* And we speak to Ant Breach from the Centre for Cities about his recent report on housing supply bottlenecks – and how to fix them.
James’s exhaustive piece digging into the digital government blueprint is here.
Martin’s latest on the unfixable road with no owner is here.
James’s latest, on how Universal Credit went from being a disaster to a wild success is here.
The Abundance Agenda is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!
You can find James on Bluesky here, and Martin here.
