Yet the week that the Lampard Inquiry heard about the lack of evidence for Oxevision (now rebranded as LIO health), Oxfordshire Mind accepted their money in a corporate fundraising/promotion deal. An outrageous and disappointing decision @mind.org.uk

🚨 JUST IN: a record number of people are going without essentials, like food and bills. New research by @jrf-uk.bsky.social reveals that 7.4 million households have gone without at least one essential in 6 months. This is a stark reminder that the cost of living crisis is far from over.

Particularly raging about Healey as chancellor and Pat McFadden keeping his job Tories also just confirmed my nightmares 😡

Healey at Treasury and McFadden in DWP says the war machine has the purse ratings and social security is on the chopping block. Disastrous.

Yet another paper about Oxevision (now LIO health) has been retracted. How many more? Will the NHS finally accept the lack of evidence for this technology and its fundamentally flawed research? #RetractionWatch @retractionwatch.com #MadSky journals.plos.org/digitalhealt...

Oxehealth, the makers of Oxevision (now rebranded as LIO health), have long boasted that they supply 50% of NHS mental health Trusts in England. However, as a result of our campaign and increased scrutiny of the technology, we can now reveal this number is down to just 36%! #MadSky #StopOxevision

"The steering group is constrained to stick within currently predicted spending" Disabled people are being asked to 'coproduce' cuts. As in The Care Crisis by Emma Dowling, this is Participatory Austerity. Labour's #PIP review is about the ideological needs of politicians, nothing else.

Our thoughts, love, rage and solidarity are with Elise Sebastian's family now and always. You did her proud with your evidence. We will not stop fighting until Oxevision is banned www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)
