Literacy levels in Swindon have fallen behind the national average, so we’re making a commitment to do this every year – but it will take us seven years to make sure every school benefits.

🚨The IPP scandal is one of the most cruel, monumental and shocking injustices of the past half century. If you are not yet familiar with it watch this jaw dropping update.

PM Keir Starmer now has an opportunity to take the politics out of it and end this injustice

The Bylines Network, where I work, will be running a joint event with Hope Not Hate next month, looking at what we can do about extremist attempts to take over our politics, and the failure of some of our existing institutions to resist. Come along and join the resistance.
A flyer which says "Hope Against Hate: How citizens and journalists can reclaim democracy," and has the Bylines Network logo on it. At one side it says "7pm, 4 November 2025. Book now. https://bit.ly/BylinesHope " and at the other it says "George Monbiot, Nafeez Ahmed, Nick Lowles, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown."
