Today's genuinely baffling tale of Victorian childhood...

February 1859.

Emmeline Southwell is 10 weeks old and has been in a furious teething rage for some hours. Her mum is bloody knackered. So she does what we've all yearned to do, and decides to DRUG THE CHILD INTO SILENCE.

Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health.

His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.

@William76610412 @AndyCraddPhotos @EmmaSleepTech I’m in the same boat @EmmaSleepTech - still no sign of the mattress or the base. When I ordered it said 5-10 days for dispatch.

@LearNonsense @MathewJLyons @YaleBooks This sounds great! I’m sure I’ll be among lots of ready who’ll find it fascinating 🧐 Congratulations on this huge step 🥂🧐🥳

@jewstein3000 Fibromyalgia is a huge long Covid follow-up diagnosis in the UK, too, as you may know. I’ve been diagnosed now, following a long Covid relapse + yet more symptoms almost 2 yrs after the initial infection. I appreciate the thread, and it’s horrible, accurate resonance.

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.

3/3 ‘or our humanity. It came out as a resolute demand that played over & over in my 10-yo head, & has echoed ever since: STOP KILLING CHILDREN.’ Activist, writer & @AmnaHealing founder @ZarlashtH’s 1st-hand terrors of being a child living under siege. #StopKillingChildren #Gaza

1/2 ‘War confuses people, especially the adults who wage them. They get lost in technicalities and self-deception, the desire to be righteous in their pain and victimhood, no matter what the cost. As a child it was so clear to me what needed to be done...’ https://t.co/p1NzmEOPSl

[Dr Helen Goodman @HelenMGoodman]

2/3 ‘… I would get angry after each experience of hiding from the shells. I didn’t understand it then, but there was such intelligence in my anger. It didn’t manifest as a desire for revenge or the need to make me or my family into victims who couldn’t recover our life…’

[Dr Helen Goodman @HelenMGoodman]

@UKRI_News @UKRI_CEO I sincerely hope that the UKRI refers here to being concerned by Donelan’s own comments in the letter (especially the last two paragraphs), not the tweets by the committee members.

@NickFletcherMP a) Your party has been in power for half the years since Blair won in 1997, and it’s the more recent half, so don’t imply that more immigration is just thanks to Labour.
b) You seem to be ignoring the huge resources brought to the UK by immigrants eg in skills and tax £.
