Useful article about lack of professional knowledge of ABI in the criminal justice system.

An ask: “let’s start a podcast” has come up again. It’s an annual thing. Does anyone know of a way to learn how to record/edit/publish podcasts? Am looking for ideally free and preferably easy editing software or FAQs. A kernel of an idea brewing. More archive than Top10. All suggestions welcome.

With Farage back on Question Time last night... ...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP. And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

I’m looking forward to this. Kate + Steph bring proper expert by experience knowledge and @carolinejbald.bsky.social has a passion to get this right. We will only improve the situation of people with an ABI if we include all voices and work together. We can do this. It’s complex but not impossible

Go figure. Our little charity went to court to try and stop last government telling local authorities through law and policy that children in care aged 16 and 17 don’t need care where they live. Court was told it would cost £500m to ensure care for every child. Not feasible, government said.

Bravo @deevybee.bsky.social who cited the shameful refusal of the Royal Society to expel Musk for what she believes are multiple breaches of its code of conduct. Musk was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society in 2018 for his technological achievements in space travel and electric vehicles.
