We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Disability benefits need at least doubling, not cutting, if Labour wants more people back in work any time soon - because NHS is not there for us and we're having to self fund and treat ourselves.

January is not the month for resolutions. We’re all sick, exhausted, cold, broke, depressed and back at work against our will. January *is* the month for outrageous Victorian self-care rituals, because who needs a new gym membership when you can just take a good turn about the room for your agonies.

Writing about Errol Graham - who starved to death in 2018 - always stayed with me. That the Tories spent £50,000 trying to stop the release of a review into his death is sickening. There’s money to hide the truth but none to help a disabled man eat.

Apparently HM Government appears to think autism & ADHD are “light” SEN conditions. (FT interview).
I wonder if they have read the NHS long term plan, the suicide prevention plan, the suicide rate, the SEN exclusion rate, the prison population…
Asking for someone to explain!
