The right’s callous overdiagnosis bandwagon is rolling. Wes Streeting should not be on it | John Harris
Thankfully, we now know more about conditions such as autism and ADHD. The health secretary must not be part of this attempt to turn back the clock, says Guardian columnist John Harris

I love that Prince issued a takedown for this immediately to YouTube, and Radiohead then issued a non-takedown because Prince had no authority to do so as he wasn’t the copyright holder of the song. And Radiohead was annoyed they hadn’t had a chance to listen to it yet. 🤣🤣

Allies and soulmates of Trump may well become the next UK government. This why special needs parents plead with Labour ministers: do not take our hard-won rights away, from us or families who might face this in the future
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.
