Wonderful from Raul, and slightly similar to David Kelly vs Leicester many moons ago! #wwfc

From hedgehogs and bats to butterflies and newts, the UK’s wildlife is disappearing fast – and our government is letting it happen. I’ve just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition calling for urgent action. Add your name: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/tel...

Record numbers for A level Maths this year, just short of 110,000 (still No 1 by a long way, 3.9% up on last year) - and record numbers for A level Further Maths, topping 20,000 for the first time ever (an increase of 8.6% on last year)

There is a reliable way for a student to get higher predicted grades. Work hard throughout the year and treat revising for mocks as you would the real exams. Teachers have seen hundreds of kids who say "I didn't really try for the mocks, but I promise I will pull it all together". They don't. Ever.

The people who follow Reform, MAGA, AfD don't care whether their policies are working. Look at it. Trump's every policy failed, most admit Brexit was a mistake. Still Trump & Farage have substantial support. Bc they stand for xenophobia, deportations, anti-migration. That's what people vote for.

Keir Starmer's response to Nigel Farage at PMQs just now was probably the most powerful and eloquent I have seen him in the Commons. The full answer is worth reading.

What has happened to MathsGenie? The new version is horrible to use

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Not even bothering to pick up the phone to call the man who was in charge of HS1. Trying to reinvent the wheel ourselves instead of using the expertise of our continental neighbours who have much more experience with this sort of thing.

Reposting for my Canadian friends. (Who are just about waking up right now)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The only specific thing they seem to moan about is being confused between 'linear factor' and 'real roots' not exactly stuff they shouldn't know. Surely there were specimen and practice papers ahead of the first sitting of a new spec.

Year 12s are talking about an insane complex numbers loci question on todays AQA AS FM paper.

The BMJ is one side of a war that is nothing but a total waste of everything (science, medicine, clinical, patient safety, time) where ME is concerned. But journalism is like that in "Britain".

Please say sorry to Keith @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Favorite Star Trek Actor in a Non-Star Trek Role Avery Brooks in 'American History X' An incredibly powerful movie, and while much has been said about what a powerhouse Edward Norton is in this film, Avery Brooks delivers a supporting role performance that felt truly unforgettable to me.

People who vote for Reform may believe they are giving the establishment a kicking but in fact they are backing the establishment! Farage and his cronies are backed by overseas millionaires and billionaires who wouldn’t dream of paying their taxes in the UK. He’s on their side not yours!

Daisy Cooper, "Please do not take a gamble on reform, because the donation that we were talking about a minute ago shows that Nigel Farage is playing by the Trump playbook" "We do not want our British politics funded by foreign bitcoin billionaires"

I can't believe they got this interview with the walrus

Did you know...? Hedgehogs have been around for a LONG time… about 15 million years! 🦔 They’ve evolved along their own unique path and don’t have any close relatives today. A tiny survivor from an ancient world 💚 #DidYouKnow #BritishWildlife #FridayFact

In Carlo M. Cipolla’s brilliant book, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, he argued that it's impossible to define the percentage of stupid people in circulation. That's just changed because America has given us a number.

If anyone thinks about buying these: don't do it. They are not in AQA style and are for more difficult than anything on real papers. #ALevelMaths mmerevise.co.uk/shop/a-level...

He is only saying publicly what the rest of them are thinking quietly. If reform is elected we will say goodbye to the NHS. What replaces them will mean bankruptcy or death to most of us

Brexit Just Damages The NHS Time to #ExitBrexit

It was such a pleasure to be involved in this wee programme celebrating the enormous legacy of Joan Lingard. It airs at 4pm tomorrow on Radio 4. Here’s the link and info www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Hungary is partying like it’s 2026 The man dancing is Zsolt Hegedus, slated to become Hungary’s health minister. He is dancing to a club remix of the resistance song “The Hanging Tree” from The Hunger Games: The Mocking Jay.” How fitting!

This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour.

If Trump follows through with his wilder and increasingly concerning threats, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world.

@carletonhandley.bsky.social Is the Millie and Molly Catrap Edition on CSDB ok to download? I bought the original game in 2020 and would enjoy playing some more levels. I can't see it on itch.io so I am asking.

Dear all websites and apps, I do not want an AI trial. Thank you.

The EU gets a better trade deal with Australia than Britain did. Of course, the EU negotiates with the clout and leverage of being the world’s largest market. It gets better deals for its members than they’d get negotiating separately. Britain now misses out on that.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social are spreading an absolutely nonsensical theory that lockdowns caused the meningitis outbreak. As if not catching a few colds suddenly makes you more vulnerable to meningitis.

Slight misunderstanding of percentage increase here: Sadiq Khan said research commissioned by his office suggested that Brexit may have reduced UK GDP by as much as 10%. “What [the research] confirms is that our economy would have grown by an additional 10% but for Brexit,” Khan said.

Millions of voters are robbed of their voice in elections due to unfair first-past-the-post voting. This has gone on too long. I’m proud to support the Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform and their campaign to introduce a fairer proportional representation voting system. @libdems4er.bsky.social

Exciting news for teachers of AQA #ALevelMaths, Further Maths and #CoreMaths - there are now shadow papers available for the 2025 series, on myAQA (the password protected bit) 🥳 Same questions, but slightly different numbers and answers. Good for mocks or retests/follow up to mocks.

(-3)^3 * (-3)^5 generating much interest with year 10 #MathsToday

We have entered two teams into www.ukmathematicschallenge.org.uk Is anyone else doing this? #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

I've only got 2 French jokes, this is the best

#LogLoads64 Winter Games It was... inevitable. #Epyx made some absolutely cracking games for the #C64 and WG & its Summer counterpart, & their respective sequels & the two called "The Games: Winter/Summer Edition" - there is a lot of mini-game action going on! For me - this is top drawer! Hot Dog!
