Had a great time today being interviewed by my @stir.ac.uk colleague @jessanderson61.bsky.social on developing #antiracist pedagogy. Part of a documentary she is making on disrupting literacy hierarchies in primary teaching. Watch this space for the full film 🎥 in due course 😀. Also 👇🏽get her book!

A great honour to attend the raising of the Palestinian flag at the soon-to-be Palestinian Embassy in London, with my friend Ambassador Husam Zomlot. A defining moment in securing self-determination for Palestine and peace through a two-state solution.

The new 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @educatorsforpeace.bsky.social network launched only 6 weeks ago, but we've been very busy! Clearly Our network, reach & influence is growing. Check out what we've been up to in our 1st newsletter along with our upcoming events for all educators. preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1695...

How many reports do we need about this before govt really give it the seriousness it deserves? Ultimately badly behaved society is resulting in badly behaved learners who are finding it hard to make sense of the hate, discrimination and injustice in the world around them. And teachers need help.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is doing a great job building momentum in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 for the Green party,would be good to see the same energy in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 from Ross Greer & @gillianmackay.bsky.social. One thing they all need to work on is the total lack of any minority ethnic representation which is vital to build trust.

#Antiracist education is needed more than ever. Schools, HE & FE need confidence to tackle the rise of hate in society more than ever. Join our inaugral #CPD event for all educators across Scotland to think about how to face this challenge, increase confidence and build a movement towards peace ✌🏽

With our msgs of love, unity & justice. It was gr8 to have the opportunity to speak on behalf of @educatorsforpeace.bsky.social in collab with Women Against the Far Right. I spoke about the need for #education not to remain silent in the face of racism & hate. www.thenational.scot/news/2548283...

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

The UK has now finally and formally recognised the state of Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Now end the war and atrocities on Palestinians. End the #occupation. End the #genocide. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

On this International Day of Peace it's easy to feel these are hollow words. Education plays a huge part in making peace and justice a reality, which is why @educatorsforpeace.bsky.social is on a mission to make it central. Join us educatorsforpeace.co.uk/call-to-action

As the UK recognises a Palestinian state today the media is obsessed with only one side of the argument: why recognise it, instead of asking why not? Why has it not been recognised for so long? It's always existed, & the majority of the world already recognise it, what has taken you so long?

Lovely words of welcome from @johnswinney.bsky.social for thr children of #Gaza 🇵🇸

Immigration is not the problem. Multiculturalism is not the problem. Religion is not the problem. The problem has always been inequality between those with privilege and power, and those without.

Gorgeous. Definitely. Consciousness. Conscientious. There are many 😀

Such powerful words. It's 3 yrs today since my mum passed and I realised I was now alone without both my parents. The sacrifices they made leaving their homes, families, friends so I could have a better future here as home, will never be forgotten or wasted. We owe it to that generation.

Incredible @channel4tv.bsky.social 👏🏼👏🏼

This was a hard read. It has upset me. It has added to my anxiety. But it has to be written, it has to be read. Grateful to Neil.

Does it matter now that the 🇬🇧 still denys a #genocide in #Gaza? Will they continue their support? If only they knew a good human rights lawyer that could advise them of the best course of action. Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says www.bbc.com/news/article...

An excellent explainer from @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social which I 💯 agree with. "His actions were all about generating outrage and, with it, engagement, followed by cash." 👆🏽 Is the whole business model which has become hugely popular and children & young people see as an aspiration more & more.

The shame of this UK Labour govt. "Some Gazan children have been brought privately to the UK for medical treatment through an initiative by Project Pure Hope. But the UK government, until now, had not evacuated any through its own scheme during the conflict." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Should Religious and Moral Education (RME) get a new name? What do you think the subject's name should be to best represent what it teaches? We'd love to hear your suggestions! 👇 Learn more about the discussion in the full article: starme.co.uk/2025/09/10/n... #SchoolCurriculum #RME #RMPS

Have these scenes occurred at any other type of rally that stands for justice and equality? You know all the ones I mean and the answer is no.

There are Scottish Parliament elections next year and I don’t see anything like enough urgency to work on beating Reform.

I am really liking @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Can't wait to see all the defenders of women and girls sharing this message.

How is this allowed to be said without any consequences or prosecution? This is discrimination, racism, inciting hatred against protected characteristics under UK law. Where are the people we elected to uphold our rights through a democratic parliament, apparently?

Interesting development. Granny of Kirk's killer - “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat," the suspect's grandmother Debbie Robinson told The Daily Mail." 🤔 Source: Occupy Democrats
