Social care for disabled adults is in as much crisis as support for elderly people – so why is the government silent about it? | John Harris
Working-age adults such as my son, who is autistic, face an unreliable system, yet ministers talk only of a national care service for older people, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Oli Dugmore puts it perfectly. It really shouldn't be any more complicated than that. "I would just say we treat them as our fellow human beings would be sort of the baseline place that I would start. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that."

The lies about the RNLI aren’t new. Publishing and circulating images of individual volunteers to an already-radicalised audience is. That is where online hatred starts becoming a real-world safety issue. In today's post I address four of the most pervasive myths surrounding the RNLI.

Online misinformation about Channel rescues is no longer just poisonous rhetoric, it’s putting real people at risk.

🧵1/ I worked in anti-corruption for years before becoming an MP. Nigel Farage has serious questions to answer following the undercover investigation into Reform UK's fundraising practices. This is now for the police and donations watchdog to resolve, but here is what I want to know:

Am not surprised by this - it's lazy thinking tho. There is always "novelty" in every climate situation, you have to find it. The pics of people on loungers with towering wildfire smoke on the horizon got everyone talking. But it's true: audiences gradually become unmoved by certain topics.
