Shout out to all the other authors who have to exist in this godforsaken attention economy and who don’t get invited on GMB and Question Time to publicise their book because they aren’t a complete moral vacuum/desperate Pick Me.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

I cannot wait to hear what ‘reasonable’ objections the hard right will concoct. Women and girls. Coming by safe and legal routes. (Still brown, tho).

In other news - Labour conference this year felt a lot more energetic. Admittedly, after last year, the bar was in hell.

WHICH WAS NEVER THE POINT I WAS MAKING. The point I was making was that much of social media is owned by the same oligarch class/corporate interests as huge swathes of legacy media but one presents itself as the antidote to the other. THAT. WAS. MY. POINT.

I said on my show on Sat that there is a certain type who hates ‘mainstream media’ and ‘does their own research’ (on YouTube/Facebook) and it’s ironic they always end up sharing a worldview with the daily mail. Cue lectures about how reading newspapers doesn’t constitute peer reviewed research.

I genuinely think I’d rather be insulted online by an incel type than be subjected to that god-awful ‘well actually I think you’ll find….’ deliberately obtuse, ‘clever clever’, centrist mansplainer. It’s an exaggeration to say they’re the worst thing on the internet but some days it feels like it.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Johnson on X

This post was ‘inspired’ by a man on the bus sneezing on my neck earlier today. ON. MY. NECK. I had another human’s snot on my neck. I’ve washed my neck three times since and I can still kind of feel the snot there. I think I might have very mild trauma.

I’m not for one second suggesting that hard right parties are using the funding they get to buy bot farms to try and influence public opinion via social media BUT there are an extraordinary number of obvious-if-you-know-what-to-look-for bots on Instagram churning out Reform and Restore slogans.

Why have we reached a stage where people call in to @natashadevon.bsky.social and say they want people to drown? Well headlines like this don’t help. Let’s forget that numbers are way down on years previous and just keep stoking fear and division. This is why the RNLI is under attack.

Ed Sheeran’s speech before his most recent concert is an absolutely masterclass in how to please no one. (And I’m saying this as someone who thinks the anger about the whole situation is probably more productively channelled in other directions than ES).

The response to this call heartens me. People are shocked and appalled. Showing it’s not who we are. Letting human beings drown for the ‘crime’ of trying to find a better life has not (yet) been normalised.

Given that a barely qualified psychiatrist making one 10 year old briefly go without meds warranted weeks of primetime coverage about how #ADHD is a myth, this report, which is orders of magnitude more conclusive, will surely receive even more attention. Any minute now... #TheGreatADHDMyth

 
ADHD is not being overdiagnosed, major Government report set to find
Hello and welcome to The Essential, where we dig deeper into today’s big stories. 

How much help should someone with ADHD receive  – in clinical support, employment and via social security? It’s a live debate in Whitehall, because of rising costs for the NHS and UK benefits. For some, the idea that far too many people are being diagnosed with ADHD or autism has taken root.

But what does the evidence show? A new, landmark Government review – authored by clinicians – has concluded that ADHD and autism are not widely over-diagnosed in the UK. Read our exclusive report here, which explains what the experts say ... and what they think should happen next.
