New tune setting: The Pinch Of Snuff (reel)

This is fantastic!

Agree - this is really good from Robert - very clear on the need for Labour to take actual advantage of Reform's many missteps and to press harder on those bruises.

The way to defeat Reform is not to parrot them on immigration while hoping they'll self-destruct. Instead, it is to take the fight to Farage relentlessly and aggressively, while offering hope voters can buy into. Can Starmer do it? He has no choice. @robertshrimsley.bsky.social absolutely nails it.

Ed Davey's strategy of spreading joy could be Liberal Democrats' secret weapon

"The more total the aspirations of the new regime, the more imperiously will it seek to introduce an era of forced forgetting” (Connerton 1989, 12)

Modern slavery laws have already been weakened to the point where victims are at serious risk. Further undermining them will be absolutely catastrophic for vulnerable victims. It isn't modern slavery laws which need changing. It's Labour anti-asylum policies. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is a welcome shift but it should have been the strategy from day one. The rise of support for Reform is not really about immigration. Support for Reform is highest in those areas with *low* migration, but high deprivation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The perennial myth about migrants eating swans stretches back to at least 2003 when the Sun printed it as a front page story. It was later obliged to clarify that it had zero evidence. Farage must be fairly desperate to be trotting that one out www.itv.com/news/2025-09...

This country made significant progress against racism in my lifetime - but we did not do so by chance. There is a visible visceral regression in experiencing of overt racism because the toxic fringe with the most extreme views have a sense of permission & impunity www.easterneye.biz/racism-in-uk...

UK universities take note: “95% of organisations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies.”

Comey to be charged with willfully and deliberately making it very hard to charge him with anything.

Long Covid has now overtaken Asthma in the US, as a cause of chronic health disease in children. There is currently no cure. Yet no action is being taken and Violet Affleck is very much on point.

The statue of Trump & Epstein (left) lasted 1 day on the National Mall, despite a permit that ran through Sunday. It was the 3d of 3 such temporary installations (apparently by the same anonymous artist). The White House criticized the 1st two, but they remained for the duration of their permits.

It's that time of year when people start to think about applying for #ITT #teacher training and so, having had a couple of conversations of this nature already this week, this means it is also time to reshare this blog. #TeacherRecuitment uonhistoryteachertraining.school.blog/2023/02/28/u...
