I don't know why, or when it started, but reading a bit of Jeeves has become a Christmas tradition for me now. On a dreary morning, with tea and a mild opiate, there really is no better way to start a holiday.

Finally the EEF impact assessment of @MayorofLondon FSM policy You won’t hear much about it, because there’s nothing particularly positive in there £130 million pa and it had ZERO impact on attainment or attendance And it left schools out of pocket 🙄 https://t.co/1nSZLIbha5

Right @jessticles_1 I've got a bone to pick with you. Your poor excuse of a team cost me 20 of the king's finest pence today. I had Man city, Ipswich and fucking Bournemouth... How could they let Burnley score?!?! PS it is you, isn't it, that is the Bournemouth fan?

Sometimes in the shower, or driving home, I have the most lucid moments where I can articulate my vision for something with crystal clarity; it’s all worked out, I explain it beautifully and I’m so happy. Then I get home, or out of the shower, and I’ve completely forgotten it.

I know this sounds clichéd (and it is hard to see when it's pissing down, the place is covered in snot, everyone's ill and the internet is down) but I'm convinced that it is these moments that, when they are gone, you will miss the most. Have a wonderful final week everyone.

Went to the theatre yesterday. Claire made a list of the things I said (I didn't realise). Can you guess what we saw: How's she doing that? Is that a rat, with a crown on? I could do that. So who is the lad that's a doll? What the fuck, that's amazing. He's got a sock down there

I know it's Saturday night, and I'm pretty ambiguous about the original report (and I've had a wine) but this just gets better. I'd not heard of Jim Gamble before this, but his handling of this is just wonderful. I'm thinking of inviting him round for Xmas dinner.
@oldandrewuk @greg_ashman @ktibus @educationgovuk @CSPR_Panel @Ofstednews @hackneycouncil @lscp_chscp A conversation is a two-way exchange. I’ve asked you several questions that remain unanswered. I’ve provided detailed information on methodology, the focus on ToRs and the triangulation of evidence. You’re clinging desperately to the notion that the methodology is flawed but it

Men and boys. Regardless of your views on the subject matter, the way Jim Gamble deals with this is marvellous.

I haven’t spoken to him for a while, so I’d forgotten just how good Jamie is.
*NEW POST* Tracking the progress of pupils with SEND. When it comes to SEND, especially those pupils working below ‘age-related expectations’ we have to be really careful about the data we use. https://t.co/bz8fP5UXLN

That was my last ever parents evening as Ruud won’t have another and I don’t think universities have them (if they have, Alex didn’t mention them). My last words were ‘So he’s an idle little fucker then?’. Apt, really.

Ha ha, are they? You reckon? Well thank god Ofsted are leading the way and have identified this; such insight, such wisdom. If only there was a way of knowing this before the damning report released this week (like an effective inspection body, for example). Brilliant.
Some schools' behaviour policies are too inflexible for students with SEND, a new Ofsted report warns https://t.co/5OTWwQxTpy

Health and safety in schools these days is less about actual safety and more about how to protect you and avoid litigation.

Ruud is on form again. I tell him he might see a flightless bird in new Zealand. Which one, he says. The Kiwi, I say. What, he says amazed, is that real? Jesus, I say. I thought it was a myth like Welsh dragons, he says. They're real, Claire shouts. What, he says, they're real?!

So @AnnaDew98 @pdcornish76 do you think we should have declared on that first day and maybe had the chance to take some wickets, rather than let them starting their innings in the sunshine. Looks like we will be batting second through twilight and under the lights…

Hi @bphillipsonMP Schools are struggling. Some families have never recovered from the pandemic; social issues have been exacerbated, poverty has increased. Many kids go to home countries for extended holidays. Tell you what, let’s give them an attendance target. Good idea.

Hi @bphillipsonMP Schools are struggling at the moment. 14 years of cuts have coincided with unparalleled rises in behaviour, attendance and complex SEND needs. There are no AP places and schools are barely coping. Tell you what, let’s raise the phonics target to 95%. Good idea.
