I'm sure it was unintentional but the term "experts at hand' throws shade on the experts in schools.

Stay classy, Rupert.

Would be even better if they lost because people are realising just how toxic they are.

Would be hilarious if Reform lost out on the Greater Manchester mayoralty because of Farage's face-saving fight with a bin

Scoop from @joshhalliday.bsky.social Reform activists urged to divert from GM mayoral by-election to help Farage in Clacton. Leaked WhatsApp: “The message could not be more clear. We now need all of our fantastic activists to come and help us in Clacton.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Fuckinell! They're literally smearing Count Binface already. The joke candidate. My god these people are pathetic humourless worms 😀 @countbinface.bsky.social

Vote Binface Take Out The Trash! Come on Clacton you got this...

Just looked to take my great niece and nephew to a local lido. You can only book an hour and that is £11.50 each. No wonder water safety is becoming increasingly problematic. When I was a kid we could spend the whole day with life guards to keep us safe. It was a cheap day out.

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

Lots of football fans wandering home from what must have been an emotional time in the pub!

England red card.. So does the king call fifa now? Is that how this works?

I do not understand the version of education presented on much of social media (not here). Either I'm getting old or people are talking in a weirdly non human way about the very *human* nature of the work we do as educators. Genuinely, I'm so often left thinking, 'well where is the child in that?'.

“Softness is not weakness. It takes courage to stay tender in a world that can be harsh.” Kate Baer Life has a way of closing our hearts if we let it. Here’s to trying to stay open… not perfectly, probably not all the time, just whenever we can. 🧡 Artwork by Katie Abey #Hope #Compassion

Anon post: Can an internal teacher be promoted to Head without the job being advertised externally?

3500 excess deaths in UK in 1976 heatwave Many places ran out of water It wasn't embraced it was fucking miserable And this fantastist is an idiot

This is fantastic news Angela Rayner👏

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs. Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election. Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

They've changed the phonics threshold to 31!!! Mother of God, I never thought I'd see the day. Spread it far and wide! The world is collapsing; first Keir and now this!! I can't cope...

A shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.

I’ll keep posting for a while: Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37 They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such And:

There’s a lot of hope and action from Labour about ‘in-sourcing’ - ie you get rid of private providers and run everything yourself. Has anyone done any thinking/writing/modelling on this? As in, what’s the hypothesis for why and how this will improve things? Links & reading suggestions welcome!

Well said, Billy 👏🏼 #BookSky

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

I was at the World Cup tonight and everyone else was watching ... scaffolding?

The challenge for schools is that the zero tolerance behaviour strategy and endless knowledge based curriculum and the Ofsted framework do not allow for any sort of flexibility to support children with needs. There is an endless tension here. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Says the man who appears to be absent all the time from his work

Unfortunately still just as true today as when Oscar Wilde wrote it in 1890.

Who was it who was responsible for the Belfast attacker being granted the right to stay in the UK on a 5 year visa? Answer: Suella Braverman as Tory Home Secretary & Robert Jenrick as Immigration minister. Who have now defected to Reform & are whipping up racism, hatred & othering immigrants.

A reminder that Brazil banned Twitter for failing to stop the spreading of disinformation. There is nothing stopping the British government from doing the same.

The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.

Polling has shown Farage's response to the tragedy hasn't gone down well with voters.
