Yes. Also convenient to blame smartphones for children’s loss of outdoor play, physical activity and social contact. We started @playingout.bsky.social as parents 17 years ago because these things were already being lost due to an increasingly child-hostile *outdoor* environment.
Terribly convenient, isn't it, for a generation in power which has ruthlessly screwed young people - house prices, tuition fees and grants, environmental breakdown, hostility to their speech and identity - to blame smart phones for their poor mental health.

Firefighters are still tackling recent wildfires in LA. This catastrophic event must act as a wakeup call. Since 2010, one in five firefighter jobs have been axed, leaving us underprepared for climate disasters. We only need to look at major UK wildfires since 2011 to see why we need more funding.

It is the 11th anniversary of the 2013 Humber storm surge, which flooded over 1,100 properties.
