Who’s next?

A poem about two children killed on Sheffield roads.

Text here: sam.wakeling.me/posts/whos-n...
Who’s next? and we walked to school today and took the short cut up the grass and felt the shade of trees on our bare knees like peace seeping into my bones and we talked about how it’s cooler than where the sun beats on the tarmac and I didn’t mention the cars or the shadow they cast in my heart and Abdullah was tossing his bottle in the air and walking to meet his Dad and looking forward to eating together and in an instant it all fell and the driver’s wretched soul lost control and sent the car swerving and young bodies thrown to the air and the care of many hands could hold his body but could not hold his life in the safety he had come here to find and Elemie like Abdullah had such a smile and they lit up more worlds than they could ever know and in a bright summer Thursday afternoon and tied up in a dreaded knot of van and road and the sun dropped slowly as the light danced out of another thousand hearts and pulled away into the stars no matter what they did and the driver was in bits and there’s no secret mystery to what we need to do and slowing down machines and disentangling and letting our streets grow tender life as we make contact and not be thrown into conflict and it may not be easy but it’s simple like a human touch and like the hand of the most lost among us who will surely hold on if we can hold out ours? and now we’re left with questions and many I fear to ask like why does the sun keep rising? and how does the world still turn? and why did these wounds cut in again to streets that bear the scars of death and pleas to take this fear from here and make these places safe? and how threadbare the promises of Vision Zero look? and how can anyone stand before them without breaking? and what will we do today, tomorrow, to make these little ones not just the latest lost but the last? and in this chaotic drum beat shattering our city taking until we stop its thunder where will the lightning strike? who’s next?

📈The World Bank's annual World Development Report (WDR) is probably the most widely read economic publication

WDR2025 is about Standards for Development

We were honored that the Bank commissioned us to write the background paper on Standards in Global Health

⚠️ The 2025 World Drug Report is out! #WDR2025 

Drug markets are expanding. Harms are rising. Police-led approaches are failing.

UNODC won't say it plainly, so we did:
Evidence that cannot be contained: The World Drug Report 2025 reveals the ongoing failure of the drug control regime
Behind cautious language, the data expose a system that criminalises, harms, and undermines health.

As the #WDR2025 acknowledges, poverty, inequality and stigma compound drug-related harm. Efforts to ensure non-discriminatory access to care are fundamental to saving lives.

Today is World Radiography Day!

The theme for #WDR2025 is "Empowering Healthcare through Imaging Excellence". Radiographic imaging is crucial for early disease detection, reduces the need for invasive procedures, and improves patient outcomes.

I was pleased to join the World Bank to discuss #WDR2025 and agrifood standards for African development. Targeted investments and institutional innovations must be put in place along the value chain to ensure standards act as levers, not barriers, for smallholders and SMEs.
