I published a slightly different piece on Money Power Health to close out 2025. I called it “2025 in review: A Gangster’s Paradise”, an attempt to name a world where raw power is increasingly visible and rewarded, harm is externalised, and moral ambition worn down. open.substack.com/pub/nasonmaa...

Last week's unveiling of England's first Men's Health Strategy is welcome, but without tackling commercial determinants of health - the industries profiting from harmful products that disproportionately affect men - we'll only address symptoms, not root causes.

ICYMI, our new article in @bmj.com with @markpetticrew.bsky.social @maizie333.bsky.social, on new alcohol licensing, is below

The BMJ @bmj.com · Nov 12

The government recently announced plans to extend the opening hours for pubs and bars in England and Wales.

This proposal shows a failure to differentiate between healthy and harmful growth, say @spidermaani.bsky.social @maizie333.bsky.social @markpetticrew.bsky.social
