Loved playing a small part in the creation of this. Great to create more green in the built-up area of Leeds Harehills. Mothin Ali Green Party coucillor is an inspiration 😁

This is absolutely the only answer. We all need to start doing this. Greed is not good.

What's going on at #BBCRadio4 #Today? Three 'interviews' in two days with no challenge or interrogation by the interviewer on sensitive subjects ADHD diagnosis, gender and mental health

Genuinely shocked at this..

Prem Sikka @premnsikka.bsky.social · Mar 18

UK Govt to cut benefit spending by more than £5bn a year by 2029/30. Poor/Disabled hit.

Silence on corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich.

Aligning tax on dividends and capital gains with wages, and charging national insurance on the same can create £20bn surplus.

Why hurt the poor?

Liz Kendall promises to fix 'broken' benefits system

Measures including restricting eligibility for disability payments are expected to save £50bn by 2030.

Absolutely! That doctor was outrageous on the radio. How can anything be 'over' diagnosed? If its clinically indicated then it is diagnosed. End of.

Dr Steve Taylor @drstevetaylor.bsky.social · Mar 16

A diagnosis is a diagnosis

There is not over diagnosis there is an increase in those people suffering with mental illness who need support

For someone who says he follows the evidence @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social seems to be struggling to grapple with the diagnosis here

Wes Streeting says there is overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. #bbclaurak

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better?
This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵
