Worth keeping an eye out for reporting on the Schools White Paper + SEND consultation now that we've had half a chance to actually read them, and how it differs from the day-one headlines that (given the size of the papers and 11am release) almost entirely relied on Govt press releases and summaries

After another week of high-profile debate around autism - particularly, again, focusing on women and girls - this pair of Google Alerts hit me hard earlier.
Rhetoric vs Reality.
Mask-off corporate bootlicking that causes these fucks to junk the most vulnerable members of their audience at the first sign of resistance aside:

News: Sources say that Trump has been receptive to officials and allies privately encouraging him to send US troops into Iran.
This comes as Lindsey Graham has reportedly gone to Israel and coached Netanyahu on how to push Trump to take action in Iran.
I was nine years old when a Labour government followed the US into an illegal war in Iraq, sold to the public on lies.
Twenty-three years later, we’re back on the streets opposing another Labour government and another illegal war - this time against Iran.

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

Tintin by Bilal. Tintin is moving through a sewer tunnel carrying a machine gun and a triangular briefcase. Snowy is on his shoulder.
I've always loved this Tintin painting by Bilal. What's up with that weird briefcase? Who's chasing Tintin? And what's Snowy just seen in front of them?!

🚨 NEW | Greens and Your Party now have more members combined than Labour, figures show.
🔴 Labour – 250,000
🟢 Greens – 215,000
🟥 Your Party – 60,000
Total Green/Your Party = 275,000 members
I thought that the leak of labours membership was that it was below 250000, not that they had 250000 meaning we still don't know for sure where the membership figures are.

An illustrative piece in that it says the quiet part out loud: When you ask *who* is "wrongly" included in the autism spectrum, the response is almost always "women".
In other fields, this phenomenon of women being immediately dismissed, overlooked and underdiagnosed is called medical misogyny.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
