There is “no evidence that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK” and the condition could even be “underdiagnosed”, a team of experts has said

Don't allow yourself to be distracted from the Trump/Epstein files release by Trump's illegal war in Iran. Don't fall for it, please.
I guess it’s ok to cancel plans to calm and reduce traffic to make life safer for everyone if you also put out a nice video asking drivers to just slow down and be a bit more careful?
WATCH: This is my favourite thing on the internet right now. Well done Norway! youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...
Watch 👀 as drivers mount the pavement where a young mother pushes a baby, 20 metres from a primary school. This is normal in Birmingham. It’s the kind of behaviour which led to plans for an LTN in this area, which have now been abandoned by the Council after 6 years of development.
Alive tour was great. Even better was seeing them DJ in a club in 97, around the time their first album came out. Properly blew my mind.
Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU, ITV poll finds

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement
Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

The fine for driving without insurance should be three times the value of what the insurance would cost, plus £1,000. Fining someone £200 is not a deterrent.
"We've been really inspired by the Parisian model."
Thank you, @annehidalgo.bsky.social, for showing us what is possible. What you are doing for Paris has global implications.
Outsourcing means you get the absolute minimum to fulfil the contract. That means that no-one gives a shit about doing a job properly or putting in the proper effort. "That's enough, it'll do" - that's the mantra of outsourcing. No wonder the county's infrastructure is crumbling.
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

We live in the craziest times 💆♀️
One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…
And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.
We see you.
Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them
LTNs cut road casualties in half, campaigners say
Either you're happy for people to be killed and injured to save you a couple of minutes on your journey, or you're not. The evidence that LTNs and 20mph zones save lives is overwhelming.
That‘s lovely 😻
Inspired by @freedomtodoubt.bsky.social’s brilliant post, I wanted to share my own experience of learning about the dangers of wood smoke.
It started a few years ago with a message on our street WhatsApp.

"Over nine days, Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot generated and posted 4.4 million images, of which at least 41 percent were sexualized images of women"
24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.
0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.
Photo shows 5 Greenlandic women in their national dress with beaded yokes. In the late 1920s Norway sought to possess East Greenland. Norwegian knitting designer Annichen Sibbern Bøhn designed a sweater which mimicked the Greenlandic beaded yoke. And that's how yoked sweaters became a thing. 🧵
The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.
All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow.
WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.
This is quite a post

The amount of effort it would take to decouple from US companies. Services you can find alternatives, but all of our computers and phones rely on them for updates. The one I'm most worried about now is Action Network because I can imagine a hostile government shutting that down.
