My review of Nick Gibb's Reforming Lessons is now available on @yorkshirebylines.co.uk:

"This book unavoidably feels like a desperate attempt by a long-standing minister to safeguard his legacy from the reality of the education system he left behind"

My take on why everyone should come to #Bradford2025 to see #TurnerPrize - even frequent TP visitors are finding something fresh & new in #Bradford - but it’s attracting artistically unseasoned eyes, too.
Brilliant art, brilliant setting, all in brilliant Bradford!

Claire Jones on authoritarianism. Article in link:

"Project 2025 is aligned with global authoritarianism & won’t stand or fall with Trump. It's also naive to think Reform's survival depends on Farage, given its place in the global authoritarian ecosystem".

'Trump has targeted the courts, the universities, civil servants of the federal government... One key bulwark has crumbled under this assault: the media. Trump... said major US networks gave him... "only bad press. I mean they’re getting a license...maybe their licenses should be taken away."'

Praise me or shut up! – Trump’s threats to silence opponents break US first amendment

A press free to criticise its government and leaders is essential to any democracy – in America it is crumbling before our eyes

Leeds’ recycling and energy recovery facility turns black bin waste into electricity, heat and even roads – cutting landfill for good
