This thread describes an article written by @cremieuxrecueil explaining why they do NOT think there is an autism "epidemic" but that the clearly broadened diagnostic criteria and educational/financial incentives to diagnose can explain the increase.

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.

This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.

@JolyonMaugham Yet poll after poll clearly favours rejoining the EU. The telegraph has really lost the plot

I’ve watched the warm up, main event and post match analysis of the budget. What I haven’t seen was an acceptance of the current state of the public sector and viable alternative strategy

No doubt it’s not perfect but seems to be mainly hand wringing and whinging

Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs:

David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”
They raised it from 17.5% to 20%

David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test it”
They means tested it.

David Cameron “We have no plans to scrap the educational maintenance allowance”
They scrapped it.

George Osbourne “we will reduce the deficit and get debt under control”
They didn’t.

Boris Johnson “we will build 300k homes a year”
They didn’t.

Boris Johnson “we will end rough sleeping”
They didn’t.

Theresa May “we will ban no-fault evictions”
They didn’t.

Theresa May “we will ban conversion therapy”
They didn’t.

Boris Johnson “we will not raise income tax, VAT or National insurance”
They did, to the highest levels in 70 years.

Boris Johnson “we will build 40 new hospitals”
They didn’t.

Rishi Sunak “we will cut NHS waiting lists”
They didn’t.

David Cameron “we will end child poverty”
They didn’t. In 2021/2022 1 in 3 children in the UK lived in poverty.

@sturdyAlex @KnittedKittie Could it have anything to do with concerns over wealth taxes?

[lord fat of ted @fatted17]

I wonder why the press owned by billionaires are aggressively attacking the Labour government who are looking at potential wealth taxes??

I have a good friend with a significantly disabled 5 year old. She should be starting education but is struggling to get an EHCP, missed PMLD placement due to delays and now concerned about how to go forward without spending vast amounts on lawyers

Any ideas greatly received

@BehaviourA @JohnWest_JAWS @IPSEAcharity Hi, not an expert, my understanding is they took over 3 months and a lot of chasing to get it sorted. Now stuck without spaces and support. Not sure what help they got
