all available evidence suggests that neurodivergence is underdiagnosed.
so why is wes streeting conducting a review based on the presumption of overdiagnosis?
bcos he read about it on x and he thinks what he reads on there is more likely to be true than what experts in healthcare tell him.

I have called on the Equalities Minister to withdraw badly written guidance for single-sex spaces to protect everyone's rights and ensure trans people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

I don't know what it is about the Monday after a holiday weekend but I always get hit with a wave of melancholy. Maybe it's because holidays measure years rather than days or weeks. Your kids grow up, your parents grow old, time keeps slipping into a cumulative past

A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.
Multiculturalism works. London works. And those who hate both things hate themselves most of all.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

In Welsh it's mis Rhagfyr, which means 'the month of foreshortening'. Does what it says on the tin, I guess.
Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

The collective leadership thing for Your Party is going to be... interesting.
The central committee elections (from where the collective leadership will be drawn) will no doubt be a factional bunfight, a Corbyn v Sultana proxy battle for who can get the most supporters elected. No let-up yet.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

Increasingly sure this whole fiasco is in fact a long-running postmodern art/immersive theatre project designed to give us all something to laugh at in these difficult times. Perhaps put on by the Judean Popular Front's theatre collective.
Huge cheers as a speaker at Your Party conference shouts "no witch hunts, no expulsions" on stage and calls for all members of other socialist/communist groups to be allowed into the party (many have been booted out in recent weeks)
Many are astounded Corbyn's allies have expelled many Trotskyists.
