"MAGA says Alex Pretti was holding a weapon – but it was never the gun. It was always the phone. "The phone that sheds light on truth is far more powerful right now than a gun in the holster." Are the ICE killings a moment MAGA can't lie its way out of? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/minn...

I’m trying to think of a historic precedent and all I can think of are two words: European colonialism @davidolusoga.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social @profaliceroberts.bsky.social It was exploitation & oppression then and it is now.

And her “apology” was not an apology but a re enforcement of her quite clearly racist viewpoint. How will the wider media view it? How will #Farage react?

Very grateful for any shares on this to get the word out. Thanks! 🙏🏻⬇️

Never forget. Never again.

Is this the kind of role we want technology & #AI to have in our schools? @suecowley.bsky.social

this is so incredibly powerful. thank you, @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social et al. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tENn...

As Jo Grady, the UCU general secretary, said: “This is an economically illiterate policy; no country has ever grown by slashing university places. Nonsensical ideas such as this come as no surprise from the party that crashed the economy…”

And at night in #Thatchertheatre …….. well, you know what happens…..

The new #Ofsted inspection framework is flawed, poses clear risks to the wellbeing of school leaders & #teachers & will not offer parents reliable assessments of schools, says Paul Whiteman – @naht.org.uk – in his @seced.bsky.social blog: buff.ly/tQ5TPH9 #schools #edusky

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

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…..

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.
