4/4 For many families, diagnosis isn’t about labels it’s about support, structure, and giving children a fair chance to succeed. I hope perspectives like ours are part of this conversation. #adhd @Nigel_Farage @BBCEssex #ourvoicematters #adhdchildren #neurodiverse #send

@Nigel_Farage @Nigel_Farage I’m not expecting a reply, but I listened to your interview on BBC Essex and wanted to respond respectfully to your comments on ADHD. 1/4

3/4 My son was diagnosed at age 6. We’ve never used ADHD as an excuse for behaviour, but understanding it has helped him manage challenges and build resilience. He’s now nearly 16 and far more self-aware because of it. And also knows how to manage his deregulation

@JeremyClarkson @JeremyClarkson how’s pepper?

People with ADHD don’t just struggle with focus — they make thousands more decisions a day.

Every task, every distraction, every impulse = a mental negotiation.

No wonder we’re exhausted by noon. It’s not laziness. It’s cognitive overload. #ADHD #Neurodivergent

@toby00green @JNafafe thank you so much for your inspiring lectures last Friday at @BristolUni. On West African history :)

If you agree with me that we need to stop school cuts, let’s get active in your school community.

There are plenty of ways to get involved and join a community of thousands of parents and educators saying no to school cuts in every neighbourhood. Join us @SchoolCuts

A Labour government would give £2,400 to teachers in the very early stages of their career in England to try to stop them leaving the profession.

1. It’s experienced teachers you need to try and keep.
2. The possibility of £2,400 means nothing to someone who is working themselves into the ground and becoming physically ill.
3. Use the 50 million budgeted for this to pay for more PPA time for classroom teachers in the schools/areas where they are most likely to quit.
