@jackyan Rise in loneliness
He describes the report as both hopeful and frightening in equal measures.

"One thing that frightened the hell out of me was just how distrusting of institutions and government we have become over time. We can see why that is. It feels like we don't have the leadership across successive governments to really deal with the big knotty problems.
