Solicitor appointed to manage the contentious #Inheritance problems for my husband.
I really didn’t think it would come to this, but he’s been left completely in the dark.
Looks like the Solicitor that managed the grant of probate broke the Code of Conduct for Solicitors so even messier

MY GP told me today that there are many risks associated with ADHD meds, but couldn’t name any.
When I said there was research showing that medication can significantly help (I’ve been on it for years) she said she wasn’t aware of this.
I also added that being unmedicated poses risks

It’s really hard to sleep when your mind won’t stop racing #ADHD
It’s been a tough couple of weeks & it just seems to keep getting worse 😢
I just want a break from it all, but that’s not going to happen

UC managed to lose my 16 year old so we only received half our payment. 17 days later they haven’t found him, but have verified the details of my 14 year old 🤷♀️
My husband’s employer didn’t pay him - at all 😭

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

My GP sent me a text today telling me I need to complete a Risk Awareness Form as I take topiramate.
They should do their own research first as I’m not happy at all.
Apparently the medication can cause significant harm to an unborn child - I’ve had a hysterectomy 🤷♀️
What’s the harm? Well…

Immigration is not the cause of people's problems. So, to anyone who thinks it is, they will always demand more.
When this round of immigrant bashing doesn't win Reform voters and only makes our problems worse what is next?

Let's be crystal clear: doing some good stuff doesn't give you a free pass to also do a whole bunch of bad stuff. And when the bad stuff is REALLY bad, no amount of good stuff can compensate.
Labour have flirted with that hard line many times since the GE. Today's immigration assault leaps over it.

I may not be religious, but I am interested to hear from anyone that may have been at this?
Seeing as Claire has said she will vote in line with party how does that align with faith?
Labour policies will push people into poverty.

Shameful bullish. What's done incalculable damage is a decade of pernicious falsehoods about immigration, while people who should know better refuse to counter the lies of the increasingly normalised far right.

Teaching autistic children to 'mask' may lead to depression, autistic burnout, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, & suicidal ideation. There is extensive newer research happening in this & excellent volumes that can be read on the subject.
It is unethical to simply not consider any of this.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....
