How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Kemi Badenoch delivered a very good speech. I don't trust her, would never vote for her, and 14 years proved how much the Tories truly care about the country, but someone's had some solid coaching.

It was seeing this from last month that made me wonder. Who is this supposed to grab the attention of and convince? It feels like a giant social media post that only gets likes from the already convinced

I wonder if Led By Donkeys has ever had any impact or whether it’s essentially just an expense way of getting applause from people who already agree with them

I wouldn’t analyse it too much. He’s just leaping on largely the same sort of bandwagon Starmer is, except he’s gone the whole hog. All about political power. They don’t care what anyone thinks of them

Farewell to the actor John Woodbine who died today. He was ubiquitous in the film and TV of my childhood appearing in everything from Z Cars, Dr Who and the films The Devils and An American Werewolf in London.

“but no” made me laugh out loud. Like a young 1930s lady writing her diary.

Just as the flawed Online Safety Act doesn't properly protect children and the Digital ID scheme won't stop illegal working, restricting protests will never actually *make* people safer.

You don't solve problems with performative authoritarian policies that sound tough.

Tomorrow, look out for a special #CBeebies video celebrating the many Moon festivals happening, including the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chuseok, and Tsukimi. I wrote, directed and produced this, with my friend making the mooncakes. (Better photos tomorrow too!)

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁

Strange how Mahmood didn’t say any of this when the pro-Tommy Robinson protest happened and police officers were actually injured www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Police hurt during Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally in London - BBC News
Some 24 arrests are made after "unacceptable violence" at demonstrations in central London, police say.

Mahmood said: "I think just because you have a freedom doesn't mean to say you have to use it at every moment of every day…”

Wow.

And people wonder why many of us are concerned about mandatory Digital ID.

Excellent reporting by the BBC into the Met Police. Another reason many are concerned about allowing any future Digital ID App to be misused by certain authorities
