Streeting really is a tit. He's suggested ADHD and Autism are 'overdiagnosed' and then says later: 'We must look at this through a strictly clinical lens to get an evidence-based understanding...'

Perhaps, wait for the evidence then, before coming out with a sweeping and - very possibly - wrong generalisation.

Starmer cameo power with some nifty footwork, dodgy money and reputation for intelligence. But as we have seen while McSweeney and Labour Forward are looking on ever shakier ground, reports of intelligent life were misguided.

I hear Farage is having Downing St measured up for his installation.

Starmer rejects idea Labour could rejoin customs union
The prime minister’s chief economic adviser told him the move would increase exports to the EU and reduce costs for businesses

Sir Keir Starmer has rejected calls from his chief economic adviser for Britain to rejoin the European Union’s customs union in an attempt to improve growth.
Baroness Shafik privately made the recommendation in the run-up to last week’s budget arguing that it would cut costs to businesses and increase exports to the UK’s largest trading partner.
Some economists have suggested that rejoining the customs union would at least partly offset an estimated 3 per cent drop in GDP growth that resulted from Britain’s decision to leave the EU.

The chancellor would not need to go far - the nearest mirror (if she has a reflection) would provide a hint. The OBR leak on the day seems to have been a configuration problem with Wordpress, the weeks of floating’ policy to favoured newspapers and reporters too see what was acceptable was all down to her. Those toddlers in the maladministration need to learn that government by focus group is not a good idea.

All those empty mansions, huge rambling held by just a few over-privileged rich people, rich with pilfered assets often gained from an unsuspecting empire.

And nowhere for these unfortunates to live? Maybe a solution hidden there in plain sight?

Are you IN or are you OUT?

IN - OUT ?

Safer with me than without me?

Which is it to be? Make your decision, make it soon.

So has plucked out of thin air the notion that people with mental health issues are philanderers rather than suffering any real decrease in health.

Another case where have produced a negative nit-picking non-solution to cut costs rather than address any real solution.

Please allow the medical to do their jobs.

So the WI showing they too are an outdated institution following pseudo-science and values.

The law in this case has shown itself to be an ass.
The ruling was badly considered and poorly written, difficult to read and likely to be misread.

The WI should follow modern common sense and values instead of cow-towing to ill-considered thinking.

Sad.
