One would have thought the service might be more about celebrating God. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

A finding that will surprise nobody. Also, water is wet, grass is green, etc.

Strange reporting on last night's match by @BBCBreakfast focusing on Harry's sending off but never mentioning the real controversy of the match - why one shirt pull was a penalty and red card but the other was completely fine!

Very sad. Jenni Murray's wonderful voice was part of my radio listening life for so long. She was the beating heart of Woman's Hour, which has badly needed resuscitating ever since the BBC dropped her.

Government admits key final decisions on the SEND Tribunal have already been made, despite consultation on its SEND reforms being open till 18 May. It's at odds with ministers' statements on the consultation engaging people 'before any final decision'.

Thought for the day. 🧵 🪡 Recently redrafted classes and taken on some pupils persistently disengaged and behaving atrociously. Surprised how quickly it took to turn the class around and that’s a discussion for another thread. One lad inches away from exclusion.

But surely you can be motivated to put in the effort to learn to drive because of your appreciation of cars, just like children can be motivated to work at reading because of their appreciation of stories? Appreciation -> function -> more appreciation

If anyone is waiting to hear on their Access to Work application, I called today to check mine, and they told me that they're currently processing applications from early June. Anyone who waxes lyrical about 'freeing' disabled people from benefits should be yelling about this.

Oh yes, hereditary peers are the worst. Let's stuff the Lords with unelected political cronies instead. 🙄

I am not furniture either. Yes, I do have aphantasia or as I like to say it - I have the gift of abstract thinking.

Dr. Wilma Bainbridge (@WilmaBainbridge) from the University of Chicago explains how aphantasia just broke a 50-year-old theory of memory 🧵.

@jon_severs @JabedAhm I thought School Leaders had been claiming that all their financial problems were because middle class parents of SEND kids without REAL needs were grabbing expensive placements their schools could provide for nowt? And now the Government has caved they’ve changed their minds?

This sort of thing is why I will not be voting Green as long as this man is the leader of the party.

The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated. Incredible reporting from @RetractionWatch: https://t.co/ErcnEw60S6

SEND-sceptic educators retweeting an opinion piece about autism because they think it gives them permission to ignore EHCPs

Do not let pro-Putin voices exploit current events to launder their own agenda. You can be against American intervention without dismissing years of documented war crimes committed by the Russian state. Putin has been one of the most egregious violators of child rights across

It is totally unacceptable that the link between Looked After Children (LAC) and Previously Looked After Children (PLAC) and SEND barely gets a mention in the White Paper or SEND reforms docs. Tells you a lot about how these very vulnerable groups are viewed by @educationgovuk.

Are ties and blazers over? I sincerely hope so.
