Well that was worth staying up for! Congrats to Europe for retaining the Ryder Cup 🏆

England are Women’s Rugby World Cup winners!! 🏉🌹👏🏼

Ekitike! Why oh why?!

Another excellent, thoughtful post by Jim. 🙏🏼

Love, love, love that Nnena Kalu, a woman with a leaning disability, has been nominated for the Turner Prize. Why did it take SO long? 😬 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The settlers in the West Bank are the real terrorists. Settlements are illegal but everyone turns a blind eye. #RogueState

I wonder if any of the Turning Point UK gang have been invited to the Charlie K*** memorial. 🤔

Yup. Has the Guardian covered the dire and overtly emboldened stance to denigrate people like me (who appear both in physical and named spaces as Muslim-appearing/sounding*) I am aghast at what happened to him but this sheer sanitisation of his very * hate-fuelled * beliefs beggars belief. Truly!

A short thread on digital ID (cards) just to bear in mind. There are a few myths that I keep hearing about this idea that need clarifying/debunking. 1/10

In @dailymirrornews.bsky.social today - with thanks to @martinbagot.bsky.social www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

The youngest child is really keen on economics - just started his A levels. He’s currently reading Danny Dorling, Thomas Piketty, Marianna Mazzucato and asked for more books. So here’s his next read @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social

Brilliant comment by the lawyer (radio5 live) who points out that those who claim they are concerned about children, didn’t turn up to the #SEND protest in London! Don’t fall for the lies of those who make the claim that they are concerned about women and children.

NEW POST: In a massive week for SEND, the Education Committee's "Solving the SEND Crisis" report tells the DfE: strengthen inclusion—but don’t dilute SEND legal rights. Here's part one of our analysis, courtesy of @captaink77.bsky.social & @catrionamoore.bsky.social www.specialneedsjungle.com/s...

Oh my. Just hearing Neneh Cherry singing has reduced me to tears. “And when a child is born into this world” Think of the children of Gaza. 🥹 #tfp

This is v informative. And a real indictment of the official figures.

Margaret Aspinall, what an incredible woman. #HillsboroughLaw #LFC

And yet apparently a lot of evidence for its use at Brixton and Tooting tube stations. Interesting.

Bravo @eddavey.libdems.org.uk for calling the attacks by Israel on Gaza, a genocide. You are on the right side of history.

Reform scraping the barrel here. And she was never ‘senior’.

NEW POST: We look back at yesterday's SEND Petition Debate as MPs speak up for EHCP rights—at the start of a big week of SEND news. You need to know what's in store! www.specialneedsjungle.com/s...

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says www.bbc.com/news/article...

Georgia Gould gives no real answers as to what the #SEND reforms will look like. Not good enough.

I can’t help but think of this as I hear the new School’s Minister, Georgia Gould, speak about her time at Camden LA.

Absolutely incredible (but predictable) that Reform couldn’t be bothered to attend the #SEND debate in Westminster today. So many MP’s have pointed to their absence and also that they should apologise for their comments about ‘parents hijacking and gaming the system’. Shame on Reform.

Oh Danny boy 🤦🏽‍♀️

Children and the Covid-19 pandemic. UK report is out, and includes a child-friendly version.

I’ve written several articles criticizing US foreign policy - like this one - below. Indeed, I’m currently working on a new piece for @bylinetimes.bsky.social about US policy in Asia. Am I going to be deported? This is absolutely terrifying. What happened to Rubio? bylinetimes.com/2025/08/22/s...

This former DfE senior civil servant held the SEND policy brief in 2022-23 The controversial £19.5m contract was Delivering Better Value in SEND, signed in June 2022 with Newton Europe: the DfE SEND team were the key customer for their work Newton Europe now have a new ACOBA-cleared senior adviser

Following Elon Musk’s incitement of violence yesterday, none of our politicians should be on X. If they are too afraid to call out his interference, the least they can do is leave his platform. #HaveYouGotTheBalls

What do the immigration figures for the UK really show?

Hearing after last summer how unsafe many ethnically diverse colleagues and friends felt going about their day-to-day lives, please ask your colleagues and friends if they're OK, if they need support, if there's anything you can do that will help them feel safer

Love the young people of today - called my eldest as he’s just moved into his new shared house at Uni and asked what he’s up to. ‘We’re having a house warming. And before you get stressed, we’ve been round to the neighbours with wine and chocolates and told them it might be noisy later’. 😂 1/

This is utterly terrifying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Governor of Utah, "I was praying that it was an immigrant." The USA is a hellhole, to smear immigrants like this on stage in front of the whole country when they had nothing to do with it. This is disgusting.

Where are these voices who were shouting from the rooftops that women need protecting? Why are those voices not amplified today?! “Our women” doesn’t apply to women of colour, evidently.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Are you going to condemn this? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

For those of us who look ‘different’, this is our current reality. Solidarity with Alex. We won’t let the f*ckers win 💪🏼

“A successful reform should articulate a clear vision for a system that supports all children while delivering better value for money.” 📗 Ahead of the government’s White Paper on reforming the SEND system later this autumn, read our briefing here: ifs.org.uk/articles/eng...

Good that the Guardian is calling Kirk “far right” and showings its readers his views - not “common sense”, not “conservative”, but far right conspiracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just had a chat with my 16 year old and his friend about Charlie Kirk. Two things I took from this: 1/ kids saw loads of clips of him on social media, mainly ones where he is antagonising others. 2/ these kids didn’t take him seriously and thought his ideas were completely mad. Phew!

Lord Mandelson gone. What a mess this government is getting itself into. Due diligence clearly not carried out on Mandelson.

"Simple common sense"
