What Trump and Vance did in the White House Oval Office today to Zelensky is being universally condemned as the most disgusting and shameful behavior of an American President and VP in U.S. history. The entire democratic free world is collectively appalled and outraged. 😳👇

Our Book Reviewer loved Bears Don't Get Scared by @MarkGristPoet and @Chris_Jev It's about Bella the bear who isn't scared of anything but then she does a play and gets scared. Her favourite bit was with granny on the stage and also all the costumes! Thanks @KidsBloomsbury

A huge thanks to everyone who joined me for the Big Box Bonanza at @edfringe this summer. I was nervous about bringing a show where so much is decided by the audience - loved co-creating each show with you. Each was so different! Never had such fun interactions on stage. ❤️

Since the riots began, it's been sad to see the trad part of the education community use this as an excuse to demonise struggling kids. We've seen some tone-deaf mask-dropping in recent days, but this tweet, comparing excluded kids to violent abusers, may be the worst so far: 🧵
