What is non disciplinary isolation. Can someone give me an example.

Which means he’s going to sue the British people because that’s who pay for the BBC - nice. I wonder what QEII would have thought about that? Perhaps we should charge him for the parades etc that no one wanted when he was over here, even it up a bit.

The flying of St George's flags across the country are creating "no-go" zones for NHS staff, with some facing frequent abuse, health bosses have warned news.sky.com/story/st-geo...

Says it all

observer.co.uk/news/nationa... The BBC like the NHS deserve national treasure status. Yes some slip ups, but generally providing high quality public service on a shoestring that could never be provided by commercial organisations. That’s why the capitalist media hate them. Stand by the BBC

Riot Women. Happy Valley. Strictly. Sherlock. Line of Duty. Peaky Blinders. Traitors. Race Across the World. Planet Earth. Match of the Day…Are we really going to let the right wing culture wars coup at the BBC news department bring down the whole thing? It’s exactly what they want.

Remembrance: 75 years of the ECHR The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) celebrates its 75th birthday this month – like all elders, it has a lifetime of wisdom to share By Dr Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social

May I suggest (yet again) to HM Government that what is wrong with utilities, education, health &care services in England is that they’ve been handed over to private companies who run them on the basis of maximum cash to the directors and the most basic service possible they can offer to the users?

Excellent post by John. And not to forget the profiteering that goes on through education, health and care services, with private providers being paid with public money. MATs are the main such issue in education.

So this is Labour's response to Farage's speech this morning - but put out this afternoon across all the channels they are active on. Very good Labour, very good!

@johncosgrove.bsky.social manages to press many buttons in this very detailed and evidenced blog. Like John, I'm not sure that @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social has a strong grasp of the realities of inclusion. "Culture change" needs a mindset change; it's a principle, not just a word.

Education is about much more than school. A child is in school for under 20% of their time. So what we really need is an overarching, joined-up, inclusive, child-first vision. And then a long-term thoughtful plan to implement it.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

For those using the "all refugees are commiting sexual crimes and therefore must go" argument, the same logic would lead to all white men being forced out of the UK. Between 77% and 89% of these crimes are comitted by white men... So... Yeah... #refugeecrisis #racistbritain

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

Well let's face it, when the young Royals ask: "Why do we go to church every year Mummy?" the grown up replies: "Because we own it."

I want the media to stop hounding Labour women. We need women in politics. Labour needs to protect women. This is an urgent priority. Regulate the media. Do it now.

In mild defence of Rachel Reeves, I think if Southwark Council expects landlords to pay for a license, it ought to mention this prominently on its "guidance for landlords" web page: www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/priv...

This guy is dangerous. He connects to MAGA in many, many ways including the religious right wing.

To our friends in Jamaica: your beautiful island is loved across the world. Our hearts are with you as you face nature at its most destructive.

Exactly ONE YEAR AGO TODAY (just before the presidential election) we created "Bohemian Trumpsody" ... so now people can play #Project25 bingo with what was in the parody vs what has transpired in the USA in the 365 days since ... youtu.be/YY_8WzcHqMQ

Fun Fact - Sarah Pochin was a magistrate for 30 years in Cheshire I imagine she got mad seeing Blacks & Asians in her court & wouldn’t be surprised if they got 5 years for speeding but whites probs a caution She was reprimanded in 2018 by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office for misconduct❗️🥴

Public service announcement: The purpose of adverts isn't to accurately reflect society, it's to sell things.

Very concerning, if true.

Adil Ray, "Prince Andrew has given £12 million of his mum's money to someone he has never met before" "Has renounced all his titles for something he didn't do" "With the same person he's never met before" "At the house of someone he was only friends with" "To be polite" #HIGNFY

The Tories have clearly lost the plot but they're also finished as an entity imo. It's fascinating and horrifying to watch the collapse which was essentially triggered by Brexit.

FINALLY the BBC starts covering what we’ve all already seen. “A 55-year-old Palestinian woman has been taken to hospital after being clubbed over the head by a masked Jewish settler as she was picking olives.”

In an interview with Bloomberg, Farage has said that Nathan Gill was "one bad apple" - unintentionally being accurate because he forgot the rest of the proverb.

Anti or Fa? Time for civic courage.

"[O]ver 9,100 Palestinians continue to be held in Israeli prisons." "Some 3,544 of them are held under the Israeli system of 'administrative detention,' which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians for up to six months without charge or trial." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Incarceration #Genocide

We don’t teach children to read anymore. We teach them phonics. Evidence shows teaching phonics doesn’t help with reading. It just helps with learning how to do phonics. I wonder why the v small expert panel who introduced phonics back in 2012 were so keen on it?!?! #edusky

And let’s not forget the enormous wages of the CEOs and business managers in the NHS, social care, and in England, Multi Academy Trusts (MATs). Why should such institutions even need business managers? 🤯

‘Households across UK are paying a vast “privatisation premium” to access essential services. According to our estimates, the public have funded almost £200bn in dividends to the shareholders of the privatised water, energy and transport companies’ #Tories #Labour.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board? Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone? Half way through another week of silence then.

That vibe of when you can afford to buy your own media empire but don’t want to pay more in taxes …

@warwickmansell.bsky.social I wondered if you’d like to take a look at this? And maybe @oaknational.bsky.social might explain this ?

County Durham residents fear higher bills as Reform UK plans council tax changes Reform UK won control of Durham County Council in May, hoping to cut council tax; they now contemplate a significant increase in that tax northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

Nigel Farage Teams Up With Extreme Anti-Abortion Group and Calls for Debate on Restricting Abortion Rights in UK – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

So, Reform would rocket-boost austerity, slash welfare *but not taxes*, cancel net zero progress, do mass deportations, huff out of the ECHR (torching the Brexit deal and our human rights)… And to top it all off, there’d be this gem of US-funded christofascist authoritarianism on offer too. Grim AF.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

A man born in Pretoria, 1971, left for Canada in 1989, might want to wind his neck in (though apartheid South Africa was not necessarily too traumatic place for those who could benefit from apartheid if could manage to resist being too troubled by the racist principles of the state and society)

Exclusive: Reform UK-run Kent council plans to raid £2 million from schools’ already-squeezed budgets to pay for vital services it can no longer afford, sparking fears of more classroom cuts schoolsweek.co.uk/reform-run-k...

The exclusive findings in @johngroberts.bsky.social story make clear that, whatever comes out of the education white paper & broader inclusion push, it mustn't simply heap more tasks onto overworked sencos.

"It has been two years since Yehuda Cohen's youngest boy Nimrod was captured by Hamas militants. Even on the eve of a ceasefire and the return of the hostages, he writes, Israel must change and recognise a state of Palestine - and Netanyahu must be held accountable - so that we may say: never again"
