![BMJ article. Excerpt:
Marmot also laments how politics and politicians have changed over the decades and calls for a return to focusing on policies rather than "insults or culture wars."
While national politicians cause disappointment, meeting local leaders around the UK gives Marmot hope.
"The level of commitment and enthusiasm [they have], knowing that people are looking at our evidence based recommendations and trying to implement them, it's wonderful," he says. "What they are doing is going to make a difference, it is making a difference, and it keeps me positive." And, although Starmer's government has failed to follow through on its pledge to make England a Marmot country, the governments in Wales and Scotland seem keener. Wales announced its intention to become the world's first Marmot nation in June last year, and Public Health Scotland is working with Marmot on a national strategy to reduce health inequalities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e5jo2wxiyxyjcgwbjtjdblzo/bafkreieh5vd27toclclwubzy4kusp4av75eedu5rdxumln33nksdbsv5be)

than those who are good at owning gambling machines,
because the long-term benefits to society and savings from
getting early childhood right
are not considered.
