So well observed So well written So well acted
If you haven’t watched Trying on @AppleTV you really are missing out. 4 series of beautifully tender and well observed comedy that also shines a light on how infertility and adoption are gruelling and challenging.

“The merry-go-round of Tory ministers in recent years failed to grip the rising tide of poor behaviour pre-pandemic & then told children & families they’d ‘maxed out’ on Covid recovery support.” 14 years of underfunding may also have something to do with it. @Stephen_Logan
An appalling article from @guardian, which has the potential to cause harm to thousands of children. With lurid warnings of a 'bad-behaviour bubble', it could inflame a delicate situation. And the beneficiary could be under-fire tsar Tom Bennett. 🧵 https://t.co/NqlrLEFOjq

Civil society, not civil war. Do please repost, #Elon
Liverpool, Walthamstow, Oxford, Bristol - beautiful scenes from up and down the country of communities coming together in the face of hatred this evening. THIS is who we are, THIS is what we should be striving for.

An incisive and powerful piece by @DavidOlusoga “While there were horrific attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, most of those targeted by the rioters were British citizens: members of communities with histories that go back three generations or more…”

What a blisteringly sharp analysis from @DavidOlusoga, who calls out the riots for exactly what they were - violent racism, fomented by populism. Please read his superb piece 🔥 https://t.co/FzHHYPmxj1

#FarageDoesNotSpeakForMe
It's impossible to view the postings of Farage, without utter revulsion. He masquerades as a " reasoned commentator" on what he claims to be a national crisis linked to immigrants while claiming he deplores any lawlessness. Then he hints at more lawlessness if his warnings are

Very happy to embrace hopeful and optimistic words but will be even happier if they are followed up by action that secures a brighter future for all young people and places education and teachers at the heart of this new government. @HeadsRoundtable @AlisonMPeacock

@jcartlidgemp Time to let a proper government sort out the mess you left. Conservatives failed our forces for 14 yrs, with the Army at its smallest size since Napoleon, a recruitment crisis, morale at record lows, and over £15 billion wasted in bad defence procurement. #defence
