I imagine a fair few Reform voters are probably scratching their heads round about now, wondering why Starmer isn't out yet... #educationiskey #politics

After Reform's latest attempt at scaring people into voting for them, I'm now seriously considering voting Green. #backfire

There's a lot to unpack here, but the use of rudimentary understanding of science to justify political screw-ups is a particular highlight...

Interesting smell in the air... 👃💩 #Trump #VaticanFiles

Just a heads up peeps, this is what a doctor looks like... Just thought you'd like to know because I've apparently been getting this wrong for a while 😒

I'm sensing some "drunk man at the bar" vibes here...

The hypocrisy of headlines on the BBC. Why is it important that a man is an "Afghan Asylum Seeker", but not important when it is a White Russian "Man" or White British "Reform Candidate" doing something heinous...?

I see Farage is taking tips from the Trump book of how to lose gracefully... BBC News - Reform UK reports by-election 'family voting' concerns to police www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh, get in the bin you wazzock.

"You know that thing that doesn't really work? Do more of that. That should solve the problem." BBC News - Do not always send suspended students home, government tells schools - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I see the man of peace has resorted to threatening other countries again.

She's been gotten to... BBC News - Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner presents her medal to Trump www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Trump suing the BBC story is going to go on for a long time. I mean, why not? It's a stupid amount he's claiming to sue for - billions... a sure cert to make it into the news. Which is the point. As long as we're looking at that, we're not scrutinising the Epstein files...

If you want to understand how dangerous misleading headlines can be, you need look no further than comments sections of social media posts sharing articles. The number of times people make wrong assumptions when correct information is provided in the first paragraph of an article is terrifying

Would someone ming explaining to me how, when the BBC is 'caught' doctoring a video to fit a 'left wing' agenda, it is the decidedly right wing director general who ends up resigning? Call me cynical, but surely that suggests that something else is going on here?

The more I see news reports of a non-white person commiting a heinous crime, without seeing similar stories when white people do the same, the more I feel the media is trying to manipulate me. It hacks me off. Racists... well, they don't feel that...

My child is now at an age where they are tracking what they got during their trick or treat escapades. They now know if I have helped myself to the stash. I no longer like Halloween.

Apart from the ludicrous suggestion that career-motivated politicians care more than teachers, what strikes me is that parents are reporting the system doesn't work. I wonder how many of these parents encourage their children to read at home. Education is not just about schools! #edusky #edchatuk

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

Gammon: I'm angry because asylum seekers are in hotels. Also Gammon: I'm angry because asylum seekers are in abandoned army camps. Sooner or later, maybe they're going to have to admit it's just they don't like asylum seekers. #racistbritain

When the "helpful" student reminds you of the important assembly you've forgotten about. #edusky #edchatuk #traitors

I'm amazed the Guardian paid to have the single word 'No' written in response tk this question. I haven't opened the link, but logic and sense implies that is the only thing in it - right?

😅

This from @mrjamesob.bsky.social Spot on! youtu.be/5BsybinJYLw?...

I don't understand how the media obsessed with 'balance' can allow someone to spout fundamentally racist logic on national TV without 'balancing' it with someone else calling them an illogical, ill-informed, bigoted and racist fu*kwad. Doesn't seem all that balanced to me...

Joe Marler basically channelling most teachers' day-to-day lives

I'd never seen this sketch before, but it is pretty apt. #montypython #politics youtube.com/shorts/IG7XT...

When you organise seating plans to create groups of different skills and abilities, there is always that student.. #edusky #edchatuk #traitors

The decision to stop funding the IB still has me fuming weeks on. The fact that every time someone who complains the official response is “well, we're only a small number of students affected” makes the “we're doing this to save money’ argument all the more laughable! substack.com/@iteacher/no...

When you ask a really profound question to the student who definitely wasn't paying attention... #edusky #traitors

When a teacher stands up in the staff meeting and says, "I'm not trying to play dumb but..." #edusky #traitors

That moment in an all staff meeting where the union rep stands up to tell leadership that they can't make teachers do that... #edusky #traitors

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

Wow! So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform. This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.

It is worth noting that these comments, which rightly saw this person banned from teaching, would entitle you to a platform on mainstream media if you were a politician. #edusky #edchatuk share.google/w5h3Llh9PspN...

Any guesses to Bridget Phillipson's answer? Did she apologise? Was any analysis taken? Tune in next week... I'm sure you're all waiting with baited breath... #edusky

Josh MacAlister here, basically saying that an increase of £300 per student will cover the £2000 shortfall from not funding the IB and allow students to still do it, apparently unaware of the dire state of most school finances. Spoiler: it doesn't come close hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

I would love to meet the school leader that will assign their school with "urgent improvement" in any of the categories... It's on a par with asking students to give themselves their own GCSE grades. Utterly pointless. #edusky #edchatuk www.tes.com/magazine/new...

In other news, teachers will also diagnose broken bones, provide physiotherapy, dispense glasses and triage all trauma related issues. Is the government planning on asking schools how feasible this is, or will they continue to promise the impossible? #edusky #edchatuk inews.co.uk/news/teacher...

Eldest is watching Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Man's Chest for the first time, and has decided to rename Davy Jones as "Mr Wally-Penguin"... And I am totally down for this...

Labour is standing as a monument on the grave of education. Shame on them! #edusky #ukedchat open.substack.com/pub/iteacher...

Labour Party - ensuring that working-class students can no longer study the International Baccalaureate from next year. But it's OK, because schools can still choose to financially cripple themselves in order to give students this amazing opportunity. Shame! #edusky observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

The British Far Right Playbook: Step 1: Convince you immigrants are not human. Step 2: Convince you the Human Rights Act only benefits immigrants Step 3: Get elected on mandate of removing human rights Step 4: Laugh when you finally realise you voted to remove your own rights

Allegedly, Tommy Robinson is complaining that his latest trial will not be judged by 'his peers'. He is being tried in magistrates court - max sentence of 2 years if guilty. He can legally choose trial by jury at Crown Court - max sentence 14 years. I wonder why he didn't choose jury trial...

For the avoidance of doubt, being anti-immigration is one thing. But when all your examples of the immigration 'problem' focuses exclusively on muslims, your problem isn't actually immigration...

I wonder if the right wing of US politics will start lobbying for better gun control now that a high-profile crime has been committed by a left-wing shooter...

I'm sure getting bored of hearing people on the media telling everyone how they're not being given a platform to be listened to. For once, I'd like to hear from those who apparrently are always given a platform...

1: person paints St. George flag on a mini roundabout. 2: another person paints 'Everyone welcome" over the same mini roundabout. 3: people outraged that someone grafittis the roundabout. 4. "Everyone welcome" graffiti removed. St. George still there Wake me up when people stop being n*bs plz

Inset day one: AI is a priority in my school because everyone says it should be a priority. No one in SLT seems to be aware of any research regarding it. One member of SLT openly declares the research isn't important. Oh, what a tangled webb we weave… #edusky #edchatuk
