The adhd thing is fascinating a case in point about twisting evidence. A few weeks ago Prof Fonagy was all over the media saying these problems were real etc. Probably trying to head off the inaccurate presentation. And the evidence says there is no actual evidence of significant overdiagnosis.

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

Policies banning trans people from bathrooms would not have stopped this. What he did was blatantly illegal already. He was arrested and charged. But somehow, Rowling wants to blame the actions of a cis man on trans people.

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

Next time you hear UK politicians and the msm say we can't afford welfare, remember it is smaller as a share of the GDP than it was 15 years ago, not bigger. In 2025-26 is estimated to be 10.8% of GDP. France is over 31% of its GDP 55% of the welfare bill is spent on pensions. ##NotOnOurSide 🔥🇬🇧
