In America women who homeschool, submit to their husbands and make bread are a social media phenomenon. Katie Glass meets their UK counterparts

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Walk into hospital with coeliac disease and they take the bread away.

Walk in with a peanut allergy and they take the peanuts away.

Walk in with a liver damaged by alcohol and they take the alcohol away.

Walk in with lungs damaged by cigarettes and they take the cigarettes away.

Walk in with type 2 diabetes, a body that can no longer cope with sugar, and they bring you breakfast: cornflakes, orange juice, white toast and a little pot of jam.

Then the insulin trolley, to push down the sugar the breakfast put up.

Then a carton of juice by the bed, in case the insulin pushes it too far.

Then a line in your notes: poorly controlled.

This is the disease they diagnose by making you drink 75 grams of glucose and watching your body fail to clear it.

Every other patient on the ward is kept away from the thing that's hurting them.

The diabetic gets it on a tray, three times a day, with a drug to clean up after it.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

A man in China went on a demolition spree with an excavator, tearing through a government office complex for nearly an hour.

The motive was dispute over unpaid compensation to local villagers.

Fortunately, nobody was injured, and police eventually arrested him.

How To Tell If Your Girlfriend Is A Spy:

[Dr. Andy Palmer @AndyatAuto]

Japanese brands in the U.K., represented 17.1% of UK registrations in the first nine months of 2017. YTD 2026, Chinese brands inc Volvo etc reached 21.8%. Extraordinary growth exploiting a consumer need for competitively prices PHEV and BEV products. Nothing to celebrate here as almost none of the cars are made in U.K. and no immediate insight into any chance to change that.

[TransgenderTrend @Transgendertrd]

"Baroness Cass has called on the National Lottery to stop funding a website that helps children get around a ban on puberty blockers".

It's incredible that this needs to be said. Withdrawing funding doesn't begin to cover what action needs to be taken.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.

What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.

This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.

BBC File on 4 on the horrifying number of babies readmitted with feeding complications and jaundice in the early days of life. 🚨👇

Why is this happening?

The File on 4 investigation ignores the elephant in the room!

[Educational Freedom @edfreeuk]

Home education has enabled us to use hands on methods, relevant to daily life and time to teach our child maths. We can easily identify her struggles and slow the pace when needed. This allows her confidence to build rather than thinking she is a failure at maths.

[Caroline Criado Perez @CCriadoPerez]

Do you hate driving at night? Are you a woman?

If you answer yes to both questions, you might be interested in a new report which found female drivers are significantly more likely to be dazzled by headlights - & to adjust their behaviour by driving less or not at all.

But why?
