"Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is being deserted by a so-called Green wave of left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the party’s shift to the right on welfare, migration and transgender rights." https://t.co/HkNeMcbDnA

Labour may soon be ‘haemorrhaging’ left-wing voters to the Green Party, which is surging in polls, amid disillusionment with the party’s shift to the right

Are DfE using a political-suicide algorithm? How do they come up with so many policies that no-one wants? Teachers don't need the extra burden, parents don't want support rationed by the people who'll deliver it, and kids don't want to be at the mercy of anti-SEND cultures.
EXC: Teachers, not councils, will take a greater role in assessing children with special educational needs and disabilities, the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has revealed in an interview with @theipaper

Long past time for Europe to release Russian assets and send them to Ukraine. Trump can't be trusted. > Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia

@duncanbudd @heraldscotland She was an accomplished and celebrated artist in her own right, and her design work became one of the defining features of the Glasgow Style during the 1890s to 1900s. I imagine she would have been afforded her own name more often than not.

This has lasted well...er...hang on....
The misrepresentation of all Maccabi Tel aviv fans as racists and hooligans who are a threat to Birmingham is a lie, let’s start there. Then we can move on to the fact that West Midlands Police based their decision on a report written by Dyab Abou Jahjah’s Hind Rajab Foundation,

I look back on my life, disabled since birth & paralysed since I was 15, never in my 60 years alive have I experienced such anger, hate & jealousy targeted at disabled people. All fueled by the Right & the media. I know I have never felt so angry at our society as I do now

Subsidising meals in the House of Commons for MPs is thought to cost the UK taxpayer up to £7 million a year. Despite an ongoing cost of living crisis and huge food price inflation we are paying for our MPs to scoff on cheap fine dining. https://t.co/zL3qa436UY

MPs can earn around £91,346 per annum but they can also tuck into discounted food while working in Westminster

Mishal Husain is one of the standout current affairs broadcasters of our time. Even if she weren’t, “listen love, you’re trying ever so hard” is a deeply disrespectful way to talk to any woman - or anyone.
Farage to Mishal Husain "Listen love, you're trying very hard....listen love, you're trying very hard" Vile man.

The Hack is some of the best television ever made. But for very obvious reasons you have probably hardly heard about it….

#MedEd #MedTwitter this is such a 🔥 thread on teaching misconceptions in health professions education
My teaching was feeling a bit stale, so I picked up this book - quick read, would recommend. 10 core points summarized, with examples of where we fall for the illusions in MedEd

The tax gap (total tax avoided and evaded) for the UK in 2023-20224 was £46,800,000,000. It's not teachers or nurses avoiding tax. It's not people on PIP. It's not asylum seekers. It's the rich. It's the billionaires. Its Nigel Farage. It's the Tories.

In summary: Engagement ≠ learning: busy and fun isn’t necessarily durable. Expertise ≠ teaching: tacit steps must be made visible. Student‑centered ≠ student‑run: novices need structure. Transfer isn’t automatic: vary contexts & bridge explicitly. No painless mastery:

1/ The Engagement Illusion: We mistake being busy, entertained, or highly interactive for actually learning. Enjoyment ≠ durable memory formation. e.g. a noon conference with lively discussion is presumed to result in learning

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.
