Applebees is the equivalent of Wetherspoons.
There’s nothing wrong with Wetherspoons or Applebees- I’ve been in both in various places plenty of times. But that is the equivalent.

To be fair to David Cameron and Theresa May they both at least made an effort on mental health, even if the actions didn’t always match the words. Since then the debate and the services have gone backwards and Sunak speech today just the latest depressing chapter in an awful…

Appalled at you giving airtime to Tom Bennett OBE on special needs. Find yourself a genuine expert, such as an EP or a SaLT, who can offer solutions for these children.

This “movement for a better society” stuff is Scottish exceptionalism 101.

Victory - but still much more to do!

Dad is the driving force behind this campaign. Recalling events surrounding his sudden death has meant reliving the rawness of the pain.

We did so, however, to bring about change that will save lives. This is a step in the right direction.

Please report anything claiming to 'cure' autism immediately. This is dangerous, predatory and could be illegal - not to mention insulting to hundreds of thousands of autistic people. It's time to stamp out phoney autism 'cures' for good. bbc.in/4aE53hF

Given the assertion made here, we need immediate clarity on the basis upon which Rainbow Greens claim greater expertise in this area than both Dr Cass (and her team) and the clinicians at Sandyford. As if they don’t (hint: they don’t) this post is deeply irresponsible.

🧵 There is no cure for Autism & Autistic people generally don’t want to be cured either.

This Met Police warning about a stem cell scam is just the latest but there are many clinics peddling dangerous cures that do nothing but scam parents 1/4

Scot Gov today announced an integrated ticketing system across all public transport. No year was given for its planned launch.

12 years ago, Nicola Sturgeon also launched plans for an integrated ticketing system, complete with dummy card in her name. It didn’t happen.
