As a supply teacher, I taught _GCSE_ English for two terms. I’m not sure I could do it without quite a lot of tutoring and revision. *A level*??!! Absolutely nuts, racist, xenophobic and entirely ineffective.

Blaming immigrants is the far right’s favourite distraction. The real problem? Billionaires hoarding wealth and dodging taxes.

I don’t like him. Commas. Typo. Vagueness. Ignore him til he comes up with a better email.

Yet another case of the Home Office noticing an increase in asylum claims by people arriving via legal routes and responding by immediately slamming that route closed. It’s like they WANT people to travel irregularly.

Gill - Guilty for spouting pro-Kemlin talking points.
Farage saying EXACTLY the same, with far much more conviction.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Why are they still employing the racist? His only talent was his likeability and now that’s gone.

Rather than worrying about a bit of a queue at the airport, can we not start to tax ludicrously cheap, virtually untaxed holiday flights properly; raise some cash to invest in UK; reduce demand and NOT waste billions on pointless airport expansions! #r4today #heathrow #gatwick

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Greg Jenner @gregjenner.bsky.social · 5d

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

Let me tell you now. This will never happen.
1. LBHF don’t do everything they promise in the Development Plan. Ask me about light pollution.
2. TfL haven’t agreed to co-fund it.
3. It’s a terrible idea.
