Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Boss of a small regional office decided that he liked the idea of everyone staying an extra 10 mins after their shifts to fill in an online form listing five things they did that day. He changed his mind very quickly after just one email from Unite the Union. Join a union.

A very strange UK politics where it seems the two traditional parties are targeting the same ~20% of the population and nobody very much cares about the remaining 80%.

Many will only ever see the headlines and be completely misled.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way.
Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

Government is busy: but the media are not telling you
Despite what the press tells us, the government is very busy, often doing popular things. But you wouldn’t know it from the press coverage

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary."
Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year.
