Nigel Farage swans around peddling hate on Nick Ferrari’s phone-in | John Crace

It is indeed increasingly annoying and unbalanced the way in which the BBC report on immigration and on Farage/ReformUK. It is also what they do not report on.

From the original Swedish researchers.

he could have stopped after the first 4 words….. #Farage #Trump

Reform’s immigration plan falls apart on hard contact with evidence, economics and any form of engaged brain. Never be afraid to stand up for this country and its decency and future by giving them short shrift.

Thank you for your contribution to this programme and highlighting(again) the appalling waste of money and how a few lined their pockets from exploiting others’ misery. Where oh where is the accountability?

Why has this received so little coverage? Where is the accountability? Well done ITV for showing it but why not at peak time? @chrischirp.bsky.social @paulbrand.bsky.social @profaliceroberts.bsky.social @samfr.bsky.social @maitlis.bsky.social #PPE

“As we’re seeing in the US it’s messy and often unpopular but can still lead to very significant change through sheer brute force” Is this the ‘he got the trains to run on time’ syndrome? That way danger lies. @samfr.bsky.social @suecowley.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Time for it to go not for it to change (a bit) #ofsted @suecowley.bsky.social

If you vote Reform you will be voting against women’s equality, for more harassment in the workplace and beyond (as if there isn’t enough) Remember 41% of the Farage Foot Soldiers arrested in last summer’s disgraceful riots had already been REPORTED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE

Really positive article from our own @vicgoddard.bsky.social here: www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

‘That’s not just numbers on a sheet; that’s a young person walking into a college interview with doors already closed. That’s a parent/carer who doesn’t know how to help because they didn’t get those chances either. That’s a community that starts to believe education isn’t for them’ Spot on.

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

Voting for Brexit, stopping the small boats – none of it will ever appease those who wage war on immigration | Nesrine Malik

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

A combination of political dog whistles and the media which is daily feeding this narrative. But also just people's basic prejudice because it's not hard to get hold of the actual figures.

A view from @kennyfrederick.bsky.social sharing key points from her long career, contributed to the 1000 years blog.

As a mother - as a human - I find it very difficult to look at these photos and not weep. “Rates of severe malnutrition among children aged under five at Médecins Sans Frontières’ Gaza City clinic have tripled in the last two weeks” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Allegedly the government used AI to write the guidance…..

Congratulations @andrewoneill.bsky.social

How can we develop young people’s #oracy skills & what does best practice in #schools look like? This free 21-page SecEd guide dives into all that #teaching oracy entails. Lots of ideas, examples, lesson advice & case studies. Get your free pdf: buff.ly/DD8CL5j #teachers

#oracy can be transformative. Is it time for an oracy-based curriculum? Paired talk, group talk, philosophical inquiries, formal and informal debates, presentations just some of the aspects @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social @alisonpeacock.bsky.social @suecowley.bsky.social @morsecat.bsky.social

“The upcoming spending review is a moment for the government to step up and show real strategic vision rather than plunging the sector into a new cycle of cost-cutting.” But, will it? #schools #funding #spendingreview

Big day on Monday: I'll be appearing as witness on behalf of @cbffjuk.bsky.social on 1st day #covidinquiry module on Test, Trace & Isolate. In case you've forgotten, see below for a reminder of the disastrous policy 👇 @martinmckee.bsky.social gives impt evidence on Tues. @chrischirp.bsky.social

Would that be in Pratts’s Bottom in Kent?

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

“A lot of the students are influenced by Tate and Trump, they spout racist, homophobic, transphobic and sexist comments in every conversation and don’t believe there will be consequences.”

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Good old Rosemary! This one’s doing the rounds and (soz) I’ve lost whom to credit.

The hard-hitting themes relating to #incel culture raised in the hit @netflix.com #Adolescence are addressed in a new secondary school #teaching resource (with free access to all four episodes) from charity Into Film: buff.ly/sujR6bE #teachers #safeguarding #edusky

www.theguardian.com/education/20... “Schools can’t solve these problems alone, and responsibility starts at home with parents. But only one in four of the teachers in our schools are men. Just one in seven in nursery and primary. One in 33 in early years”

Adolescence. Will these dangerous teenage boys all end up in cells? The new Private Eye is out now

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

great piece & a timely one. It reminds us all of the difference between the selfless acts of those in education & health and the often selfish behaviour of those who saw #covid as an opportunity to line their pockets. @chrischirp.bsky.social @johncosgrove.bsky.social @headsroundtable.bsky.social

You’re @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social probably already aware but apparently the Legatum Institute have rebranded as the ‘Prosperity Institute’ but are still pumping out inflammatory disinformation 👇👇

In questioning, Hancock said he acted with "impeccable behaviour" at the time, #covidinquiry Anyone else spot the irony? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An honest discussion needs to take place about inclusion; and the starting point needs to be that large scale mainstream schools are a fundamentally utilitarian good, delivering the best thing for the majority. The collapse of support services like CAMHS cannot be replaced by schools trying harder.

“….recruitment and retention in England remain in a perilous state, posing a substantial risk to the quality of education”.

A sense of belonging might just be key to reducing absence & inspiring pupils to want to be in school. Jean Gross offers some practical ideas for how primary schools can set about building belonging and what she calls the ‘we’ – buff.ly/3QC5TmE #schools #inclusion #edusky

The UK Anti-Corruption Coalition said in its evidence to the inquiry this week that it had found no other country that gave priority for Covid contracts to politically connected companies. #covidinquiry

NEW! Today on Myatt & Co: Do we really need research on learning the curriculum? Yes, we do! But the paradox is that we intuitively know a lot of what works in any case. So it’s really helpful when what we know works is also backed up by the cognitive science. /1
