@JonHaidt I'm a huge fan of your work. But surely your After Babel journey has a gap. The prevention angle is right ie free range kids, social media policies etc. But what about the generations that have already grown up? What can be done? That needs treatment, not prevention.

Because even if all of your (brilliant) recommendations were put in place, it'd still leave a generation or two in the place they are now. Are there any thoughts on that? Is it just widespread CBT, or is it too late? @glukianoff

If you didn't see Bally Hoo when it was first broadcast in 2006, you can watch the episodes on @BRB Facebook page here: facebook.com/bhamroyalballet I was in the audience for the final, on stage production. One of the most achingly beautiful performances I have EVER seen. Inspiring.

If your friends & family outside our industries are being told to go back to work before it is safe to do so then they need to join a trade union right now. Join the one that is already present in the workplace - & if no union already, join the one that’s best for their sector.

Southampton needs saving. The govt can’t let it be the first domino.
@EquityUK can’t let this bleak future be the new normal.
If elected, I’ve a plan.
