How, after all these years, have we not found another way to assess neurodivergent children & young people rather than force them to sit a one off exam? It’s more like a design for a living hell than one which allows a Young Person to flourish!

This makes me furious - autism is not a pandemic. Autistic people aren’t exposed to something that ‘makes’ them autistic. People are born autistic & always were. Diagnosis & understanding the reason we see more autistic people. This is dangerous, ignorant & mendacious. This man is a fool. #autism

Watching the disgraceful scenes in the Oval office makes me feel sick in my stomach. Shameful. State visit for Trump should be cancelled. There really is no bottom for Trump. That was an ambush, a deliberate performance for his kompromat master in Moscow

Very naughty from @microsoft.com Increased Office 365 annual cost by £25! No explanation why or that you can downgrade to Classic from their new AI package. Worse, when you finally navigate to find package options they deliberately don’t list the bits you keep in Classic - like Word, PP, excel etc

Pushing back against the lies and misinformation will take all our energy - this is a terrific take down of the latest nonsense… remember, always follow the money. #autism

Michael Oliver should never be allowed to ref an Arsenal match - ever again. Outrageous decision.

This is bravery. This is integrity. This is truth. This is what it means to stand behind what we believe in and not cower in fear.

The Prime Minister who sorts out the 2nd of January as a Public Holiday across the whole UK & not just Scotland will never lose another election. Ever. Just a tip @primeministeruk.bsky.social Keir Starmer! Anyway - I’m making another Negroni because I’m not getting up early….

Watching Mrs Davis on ITVX - insane, brilliant, funny & totally addictive. Think Person of Interest but funny. With Nuns. And Nazis. And the Holy Grail. Maybe. Compulsory viewing.
