So long and thanks for all the fish. I've pretty much completely moved to BlueSky now. Find me there. Just search my name.

My wife is a trustee of @CarersWorldwide an international charity supporting unpaid carers. It's tough here but where there are minimal resources its often intolerable. We'd love it if you donated at Christmas - the money is needed and will be well spent. https://t.co/3t9pK8Idrr

Ben gave this talk to our @CofE_EduLead Flourishing Trusts Network last week. It’s visionary, pragmatic, challenging and encouraging. If you’re interested in ways we can prioritise the vulnerable and the reasons that we must, then take a read - it was electric in the room. 👇👇

Hope as part of Labour’s Curriculum review they look to Scotland and learn from the significant mistakes that have been made there and what not to do. Both falling standards and a widening attainment gap for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds is truly depressing.

These looks like disastrous exam results. The pass rate for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher have fallen to astonishingly low levels. The attainment gaps in all three have increased. https://t.co/77hLZkweMe @heraldscotland

It's utterly bonkers that Elon Musk has the influence he does, especially given how clearly unstable he is. Continuing to use twitter feels like a genuine moral issue now.

I'm looking into Desi pubs for something I'm working on. Anyone aware of any books, stuff available on YouTube or elsewhere about them?

We've known this for years to be fair: "Fidget spinners negatively influence young children with ADHD's attentional functioning, even in the context of an evidence-based classroom intervention."

I welcome this joint letter from faith leaders in light of the hatred and vandalism we have witnessed over the past few days. We will not tolerate this violence in our communities. Everyone has the right to feel safe. https://t.co/SslhmJPojm

The thing with riots is that a large part of them is almost always a case of a bunch of anti-social thugs using the disorder as an excuse for a punch-up and some looting. Such people usually care little or nothing for any purported political cause lying behind the riot.

Willerby is beautiful and intriguing. There's an ever growing gallery of photos on our website with an original score to listen to while browsing. We'd love you to have a look. If you have questions, just ask. https://t.co/1a3cIh9z0j

There is no evidence that will convince me pole vault wasn't invented by drunk people in a pub at last orders.
