In my lifetime the Second World War has begun to pass out of living memory. When I first studied WW2 "careless talk costs lives" posters at school in the 1990s VE Day was 50 odd years before. A long time but well within living memory.
We've published annual mid-year population estimates for people aged 90 years and over by sex and single year of age to 105 years and over in England and Wales. The latest data covers 2002 to 2024. Take a look at the datasets ➡️ https://t.co/79ys4cMWsX

Some really interesting stats out this morning from the @ONS on hybrid working. Hybrid and home working persisting post-pandemic, but with a lot of variation across professions...
We’ve released our new article, Who are the hybrid workers? While the trend in working only from home has fallen since 2021, a hybrid-working model (part travelling to work, and part at home), has become the ‘new normal’ for around a quarter of workers ➡️ https://t.co/RxKsiU76Zt
