GPs keep registers for asthma and severe mental illness, but not for ADHD.
Without a register, people disappear from view once diagnosed. No way to track care, outcomes, or who’s being left behind.

The man who has put up the most England flags in Manchester was caught in 2016 trying to smuggle 4 Vietnamese people into the UK.
Now he is out of prison hanging up flags.

Listening to @garyseconomics.bsky.social if you have a billion then you make a million a week, passive income, doing nothing.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

And didn't this government talk about closing tax loopholes for those hiding wealth in Isle of Man and Jersey? Did anything change??
Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...
Now it's less than 5%, and all that goes to billionaires Tax Havens

The English have a fascination (and possibly global audiences) with the scandalous soap opera lives of aristocrats. Known a few pursue headlines and make themselves and others clickbait for income. Any lifestyle but a nine to five one. They seem chronically bored always seeking stimulus. #mitford

6m houses are privately owned in the UK and rented out.
They bring in a profit of approximately £80bn a year.
They are worth about £700bn.
The Government could make Landlords illegal, force purchase them all and pay it off with the current rent money within 10 years.
