Jabs for the rich, moralising for the poor

Plus why the government's new app starts the transformation of the British state
3

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.

Richard Pope’s Platformland is here.

The New Statesman abundance piece that is… a bit frustrating… 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.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about the pod – and leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts!

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.
