I made another attempt in the Lords today at warning against schools obsessing on mental health, and dangers of medicalising many aspects of growing up. Especially worrying is the huge increase in under-18s being prescribed valium - even primary aged pupils...
@ivanhewett @BucketsOf_Rain Yes, exactly what shocks to core
@NxtAero @DavidHa66919388 @Tom_Slater_ Thanks both
@LauraMK20 Cheers
@SmugPigFace @seerutkchawla Thanks for reference
RT @DPJHodges: In a contest in which honesty and integrity are so pivotal, I don't see how Penny M's attempt to rewrite her position on this in such a nakedly opportunistic way is survivable.
RT @andrew_lilico: When MPs work out that Sunak can't beat Truss or Badenoch with the members, there will be big implications for the way they vote in the MP rounds.
RT @JosephineFormby: @Peston @KemiBadenoch She is a game changer. Very impressive. A natural. Super smart, quick, authentic, cuts through. You see very few people with such qualities in politics.
The Conservative’s best chance at the election.
RT @camillahmturner: Loudest desk banging of the hustings so far for Kemi Badenoch - not surprising given that she is standing on an anti-woke ticket and the Common Sense group are the largest caucus of anti-woke MPs
@anthonypainter Yes we have the HRA. And with it, in spite of it, free speech has eroded drastically in recent years, and civil liberties likewise
RT @DPJHodges: Can we just be clear as this contest goes forward. Defining what a man is and what a woman is is not a "culture war". It's not something we turn to when we've got the cost of living crisis under control. It's one of the most fundamental issues. And it needs to be adressed.

The meeting will follow the hustings organised by the ‘92 Group’ of Tory grandees, from 10am to noon. 1/2
@Tom_Slater_ Made me laugh out loud.
RT @Tom_Slater_: Another crucial endorsement
RT @KemiBadenoch: I’m really grateful to all of my colleagues who took the time to nominate me.
I’m now focussed on the votes ahead, uniting our party and delivering a fresh start.
RT @FraserNelson: The “freedom of speech” line is not empty one; Badenoch today became the first candidate to pledge to vote against Nadine Dorries’s Online Safety Bill. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.spectator.co.uk/article/sleepwalking-into-censorship-a-reply-to-nadine-dorries/amp
