Services currently available to people in #Gaza fall far short of what is needed, largely due to the destruction of the health system and restrictions imposed by Israel.

Now more than ever, Palestinians need more services, not less. Providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza is vital.

I do find it a bit weird that some people believe low level disruption can be eliminated completely because children and young people are human beings and I've seen plenty of what those people would call low level disruption in rooms full of teachers doing CPD. 🤷‍♀️

Is Reform UK putting foreign billionaires ahead of our NHS?

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Farage says he will now vote against scrapping the two-child limit. In case it benefits “foreign-born people”.

It’s not just the racism, it’s the out-of-control personal greed, combined with the staggering meanness.

He’s a repulsively inadequate man.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

If Reform UK are happy to have an overt racist on their benches then what does that tell you about the party?

Pochin should have had the whip removed 24 hours ago.

Or are Reform condoning it by their silence?

There's a shiny new independent specialist school in Birmingham. All the parents are really keen on it because it's shiny and new, especially for autistic children with EBSA.

Today they posted that after half term they are having a renewed focus on uniform and attendance....😒

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

If we banned a Russian football team's fans over safety, would people be saying it was discrimination against the Russian orthodox church? Or discrimination against Slavs? Is Isreal a state or a whole religion/ethnic group?
