The juxtaposition between Jackdaw approval and today's UN report warning the world is on track to far exceed 2C of warming even if all current net zero plans are delivered is beyond stark. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537621... www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...
38% of the sector is carrying out compulsory redundancies. 30,000 jobs lost in three years. 43% of universities in deficit. Our world-leading university sector is in crisis. And where is the government? (If this had happened in fishing or steel, we'd never hear the end of it.)
This whole argument is premised on the idea that we had a perfectly correct rate of diagnosis at some point in the past, and there is *zero* evidence of that.
What is the rate of “false” diagnosis? What is the actual harm done? Especially when the main intervention is “understanding and reasonable adjustments”? Or is this just the transphobic moral panic collecting another set of victims?

In other words, a 10 percent contraction in one of Britain’s most successful exports. If it were steel or fish or other infinitely less profitable sectors, people would be having a meltdown.
Visa applications to study in the UK fell by 10.3 per cent for the key recruitment month of September, new Home Office figures show. @jgro-the.bsky.social reports #highered #visas #internationalstudents #edusky https://ow.ly/3LSs50ZVPAE

inews.co.uk/news/politic... A couple of million pounds is a rounding error in the budget of the United Kingdom - a rounding error that decides whether hundreds of thousands of people starve. The WFP predicts "acute levels of food insecurity". That is famine and death in plain English.
Despite all the media attention paid to stories of 'overdiagnosis' of autism, the real story is that many families are desperate to access support for their children and are langouring on waiting lists. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

literally thousands of jobs in higher education were cut *last year alone* and there's been almost no media coverage and no government action
I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

British fascists are attacking and doxxing the incredible volunteers of the RNLI. Donate now.
They are still labouring under the misapprehension that people who turn up to do masked direct action for a fascist movement are floating voters who'll tick the box for Labour if you sort out their local bus service. I despair.
Asked if the Government considers the masked thugs swarming British ports “far right” Andy Burnham’s spokesman replies that “it's an operational matter for the police to set out their response to the protests on the ground. So I will leave them to respond to that.”

The AfD and Reform immigration policies are almost identical. There is no plausible reason for considering one far right and the other not.
Watching BBC News and it's striking to hear the presenters repeatedly referring to the AfD as "far-right" whilst refusing to ever say the same about the hundreds of actual masked blackshirts currently swarming British ports
