Jeremy Clarkson on Farage. Unexpectedly devastating.

“Nigel Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up. He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150bn. Huh? But before anyone can question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week.

Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined.

Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen.

The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

Please never be embarrassed or too afraid to talk about your mental health. You’re tired from being strong. There’s nothing wrong with seeking assistance with getting along.

Just saw a heavily pregnant 11 y/o Somali girl having an ultrasound
I burst into tears.

This world is an abomination.

Patriarchal societies are an abomination.

Child abusers are abominations.

Religions permitting child rape are abominations.

Child marriage is an abomination

Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant and is still considered the safest choice of pain relief during pregnancy.

There is no evidence it causes autism in children.

Kate Brintworth, our Chief Midwifery Officer, explains more 🎥

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO statement on autism-related issues

The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between autism and use of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) during pregnancy.

Globally, nearly 62 million people (1 in 127) have autism spectrum disorder, a diverse group of conditions related to development of the brain. Although awareness and diagnosis have improved in recent years, the exact causes of #autism have not been established, and it is understood there are multiple factors that can be involved.

Extensive research has been undertaken over the past decade, including large-scale studies, looking into links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. At this time, no consistent association has been established.

WHO recommends that all women continue to follow advice of their doctors or health workers, who can help assess individual circumstances and recommend necessary medicines.
Any medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in the first three months, and in line with advice from health professionals.

Also, a robust, extensive evidence base exists showing childhood vaccines do not cause autism. Large, high-quality  studies from many countries have all reached the same conclusion. Original studies suggesting a link were flawed and have been discredited. 
Since 1999, independent experts advising WHO have repeatedly confirmed that vaccines - including those with thiomersal or aluminum - do not cause autism or other developmental disorders.

Childhood vaccine schedules are developed through a careful, extensive and evidence-based process involving global experts and country input.
The childhood immunization schedule, carefully guided by WHO, has been adopted by all countries, and has saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years. The schedule remains essential for the health and wellbeing of every child and every community. These schedules have continually evolved with science and now safeguard children, adolescents and adults against 30 infectious diseases.

Every vaccine recommendation by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), an independent advisory group to WHO, is grounded in rigorous review of evidence and carefully designed to offer the best protection against serious diseases and to be delivered when most needed.

When immunization schedules are delayed or disrupted, or altered without evidence review, there is a sharp increase in the risk of infection not only for the child, but also for the wider community.
Infants too young to be vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions are at greatest risk.

Autism and neurodevelopmental disorders are among priority mental health and neurological conditions being discussed at the 4th UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and mental health this Thursday, 25 September.
As a global community, we need to do more to understand the causes of autism and how best to care for and support the needs of autistic people and their families.

WHO is committed to advancing this goal working together with partners including autistic-led organizations and other organizations representing persons with lived experience.
WHO also stands with people who are living with autism and their families, a dignified community entitled to evidence-based considerations free of stigma.

The Pope is exactly right.

No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care.

We can and must do better.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

It's clear to everyone the BBC is giving Nigel Farage and Reform far too much coverage. It is dangerous and it has to stop.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Iranian schoolgirls dancing fearlessly and hijab-free in the streets show EXACTLY why Khamenei fears the younger generation of Iran.

The regime has poisoned their schools, tried to crush their spirits, and unleashed brutal oppression- but their defiance is stronger than ever.

Those who try to suppress this generation will be left behind.

Share their story. The world is watching.

Halal slaughter should be banned in Britain.

Our country has clear laws on humane slaughter, and religious practice must not override them.

In Britain, we treat our animals with care - we must not bend our standards to appease brutal customs.

This is a debate we need to have.
