Despite what the corporate media and MP’s are always spreading, a new study has shown that it’s actually harder to get disability benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) if you have ADHD. For months now the rags have pushed the narrative that too many people with ADHD are cheating the system and claiming Personal Independence Payments (PIP). The latest was from The Times: More than 100,000 get benefits for ADHD with no need to seek work As the Canary reported at the time, this was days before the DWP released the Timms Review into PIP.

Andy Burnham PM has already upset millions across Scotland and Wales before he steps into Downing Street (figuratively, at least, since he apparently plans to live elsewhere). With his various pronouncements, as he tries to convince the people of Britain that he plans on “doing politics differently” from all the predecessors who promised the same, he’s forgotten some key areas.

The White House house has now asked Congress to grant a funding request for $87.6bn, some $67bn of which will go straight to the US ‘War Department’. For the most part, the massive bill is directly related to “urgent needs” regarding the war in Iran. The news comes after the US Senate passed its symbolic War Powers Resolution on 23 June. Four Republicans supported the resolution, which nominally forbids Trump from continuing hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. However, it doesn’t carry the weight of law. Likewise, it also follows over a week after both Trump and Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkianset…
