Boris Johnson: The Covid Tragedy and England's Clown King Get news direct from reporters you trust.

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.

Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...

And thousands died.

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Reeves expected to drop plans for income tax rate rise The chancellor had been widely expected to increase income tax rates, which would have broken a manifesto promise.

“Expected” “had” “widely expected” “would have”

I long for a time where the top new headline wasn’t entirely made up of things might possibly have happened in some imagined future but now possibly aren’t going to have not happened in this future

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

🚨On Halloween, ‘concerned citizens’ in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, shot fireworks at a hotel housing asylum seekers and encouraged residents to commit suicide during a protest, showing the ugly face of anti-migrant hate.⬇️

An autistic woman is reportedly so good at masking she is frequently mistaken for a neurotypical – while the monstrous portrait in her attic withers and decays at an alarming rate.

Equality is a garden that needs constant tending, because the weeds never stop growing.

"Autistic people are not a special kind of people set apart from all other people. We are just one of many kinds of people, and oppression and injustice take depressingly familiar shapes." -Mel Baggs, rest in power.

I've seen the UK and Australian ones. The latter was a slightly different format, as it forms part of an autistic-focused University course, I think?

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

Being autistic is being told why didn’t you ask for help.

Because asking required social scripting, shame buffering, tone analysis, and a risk assessment.

At a time when patriotism can feel as as contested as ever, this is a bloody lovely ode to so much of what we love about Britain from @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social in @renewaljournal.bsky.social.

Drexel professor refutes link between acetaminophen and autism - The Triangle Dr. Brian Lee coauthored a study that concluded there is no causal link between Tylenol use and the development of autism in children.

Tylenol is NOT linked to autism: “What one person who isn’t a trained scientist or physician believes should not get the same weight as what scientific evidence has found through rigorous study.”

Also please stop demonizing autistic people. Autistics > fascists.

Bear with me, I anticipate your disagreement. There is a clear pattern to the advice given to those who want to press back against rising racism. What it boils down to is that if you point out that racism is often being dressed up as “legitimate concerns” you will alienate people. /1

🧵

There is no autism epidemic.

There is only better identification of existing autistic people.

Anyone claiming otherwise is either ignoring, denying—or does not understand—contemporary autism research, or is selling something.
