I suspect the phrase "Ministers may think" is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting in your sentence Steve. I suspect "have not thought" may be more accurate.....

This is lovely. When my daughter was about 5 she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up and she answered, in all seriousness, "a butterfly".

She has instead grown up to be an Occupational Therapist.

Sharing my childhood dream to be a horse has been revelatory and joyful! Lots of people have admitted a similar ambition; others wanted to be cars, fire engines or even a potato when they grew up!

Staggering cost to UK economy of ABI, and these are just the easier costs to count. Please share, ABI should be a public health priority, we could save money and improve lives and outcomes at the same time. @babicmorg.bsky.social
