WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔 (Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

Farage's tax plans will make you poorer youtu.be/0xbIJRorVjc?...

Horrifying

War-ravaged Portland

Rest well Assata Shakur.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Labour refuses to acknowledge the immorality and muses about the budget

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

Basically, Farage is promoting fascism. I don’t see how anyone can deny it.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Heads up for #earlyyears peeps and all those interested in #maths and young children My new book due for publication May/June 2026 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Our focus on scale, scaling, and generalizability in education is such a distraction from the problems and solutions that are right in front of our faces. Talk to students, families, and teachers and you'll not only develop a rich data set, but you'll build capacity for solutions!

4. Failing to clear out the Tories’ highly political appointments to the BBC. They should be replaced immediately with independent people. Until that happens, it will remain a public relations outfit for the hard right and far right.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .

Go figure. The guy who wants to put hundreds of thousands of people into mass detention camps without trial or verdict is against human rights laws and treaties. Who’d have thought?

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

Yes indeed. Current working population in UK = 34 million. Av. no. of children per couple = 1.44. Therefore, without immigration, next generation supplies 25 million workers, next after that = 18 million, and next = 13 million! We should be panicking about attempts to suppress immigration!

Our government is not defending us www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09... The UK is facing the greatest existential threat since WW II and Labour is hoping we won’t notice.

The DfE’s Writing Framework: Our Review And Implications For Practice writing4pleasure.com/2025/08/30/t...

Must read for all #primary & #EYFS - the perfect companion to the Writing Framework, the missing research & evidence

Welcome to the new DfE. Same as the old DfE. I did vaguely contemplate applying for that behaviour adviser job but I didn't fit the criteria because I've never led a school. Looks like that wasn't actually essential. Hmm. 😒🙄

From another place

1) Teacher–student relationships aren’t “soft extras.” This analysis (2.6m pupils) shows they drive achievement, motivation, executive function, belonging + wellbeing. Predictable structures + relational warmth = accelerators of learning, not distractions.

The trains & buses in #Italy are a lot worse than I was led to believe.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

I have written to Nigel Farage in response to his visit to my constituency of Bicester and Woodstock today.

Brexit, the ECHR, xenophobic whining, everyone else’s fault… Are we really going to spend the next 4 years watching Farage running the same failed, victimhood narrative? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content

Trying to hold this government to account, or at the very least pointing out their flaws like I did with the previous government, is not the same thing as wishing that the Tories won instead of Labour. This is not a serious argument. It has to be okay to criticise those in power, of whichever party.

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.

"Ukraine has been doing our dirty work for years... It's hard to say, but it's in Europe's interest for Ukraine to continue fighting 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 a bad peace deal." Lewis explains how a 'Putin-inspired' peace deal could be catastrophic.

Trump looking properly excited about the concept of no elections during a war

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."

That reminds me of this, the most unqualified people possible put into decision making positions for shit they know absolutely nothing about.

This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

How you teach writing depends on what you believe writing is for 👇 writing4pleasure.com/2024/03/15/t...

The EPA announced that it has terminated collective bargaining agreements with five unions representing thousands of employees.

Being a HT in a school that is in an Ofsted category is hard enough. Many HTs in this situation will be working hard over the summer to develop plans and actions. Now it seems the goals posts will change for them…. Perhaps Ofsted have not thought this part through? www.tes.com/magazine/new...

I don't think I've ever seen such a bizarre headline on a DfE post. I'm sorry but Labour has lost the plot using 'evidence' like this. 🙄 www.gov.uk/government/n...

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children” We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”

So, apparently, Christian Nationalists would rather a child be raped by Donald Trump at Epstein's mansion than get a free lunch at a public school. #priorities
