Note to British politicians.
THIS.
ALL OF THIS.

At last. Fantastic news and one I wish had been offered when my child was young. Instead he contracted chickenpox and had a stroke. Vaccinate and avoid the lifelong consequences.

The man who can gauge the condition of kids’ mitochondria and level of inflammation with a passing glance has discovered the cause of autism, but he’s waiting until next month to tell us.

Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni
ALT Zelensky and Trump in the Oval Office. Trump looking angry.

This is extraordinary news. Rachel Wardell awarded an OBE for services at several councils including Surrey. SCC met only 26% of EHCP within the statutory deadline. Many waiting much longer and failing children. Hardly a success yet still awarded an OBE.

Fifteen years. Five prime ministers, seven chancellors, eight foreign secretaries, twelve culture secretaries and sixteen housing ministers.
A thread, for #RantyTuesday.

A reminder that children's education, health and care service failings don't just damage their futures, they can have lethal consequences: Serious and systemic CAMHS failures contribute to the death of 17-year-old with #autism and #ADHD doughtystreet.co.uk/news/ser…
My child had a stroke and continues to recover, ten years on. A childhood strokes registry is needed urgently. Children have strokes too.
Two mothers whose sons had a stroke and were told they could die are backing calls for the introduction of a childhood strokes registry in the UK.
Austin was just 12 minutes old, while Bayley was aged two when they suffered strokes.

Surely that's forward to the 70s, after the existential havoc your party has unleashed over the last 14 years.
A year after leaving mainstream (and an isolation room), my child thrives in a specialist setting. He remains traumatised though and has only just started speaking about his experience. He still has nightmares about his old school. He's 10.
If a school destroys your loved one what do you do?
Do you insist on attendance or save what is left of their soul?
I’d like a politician to answer this dilemma.

Today's @guardian leader. Absolutely bang on, except that the rise to 25 for EHCPs was essential because, as it says lower down, disabled & neurodivergent become disabled & neurodivergent adults. Without early support needs can become far greater #SEND theguardian.com/commentisfre…
