Asked about the 7 Labour MPs, including me, who lost Labour whip over 2 child limit Pat McFadden said it was because we voted against budget with other measures in it. For record this is untrue. We voted to amend the King’s speech to scrap the limit & we voted for Kings Speech.

My latest @thecanaryuk exclusive. MOD claims there has been ‘no internal discussion’ of how Trump’s Caribbean war affects UK anti-drugs mission

They’re doing it again. This is exactly how it was in 2010 onwards, when the government demonised disabled people & incited the public to hate us, manufacturing consent for policies that killed many Disabled people. And they’re doing it again. We’re right back where we started.

"By only publicising reports and releases that will turn the public further against disabled people, the DWP is making it easier to quietly push out policies that will affect us all." me for @TheCanaryUK
thecanary.co
The DWP are going for shock and awe tactics as they rush out masses of changes with little warning or fanfare

Oi Wes Streeting: if ADHD is overdiagnosed, why does it take so bloody long to get a diagnosis? Just fear-mongering, then?

I accidentally didn't include any sources in a community note I wrote absolutely MONTHS ago, and cos it got downrated for that, I've been locked out of writing notes since. Yet I constantly see notes from bigots that are biased and don't provide proper sources @CommunityNotes @X
