It’s been available in the UK for a while, but only privately -my daughter had it 10 years ago. It’s only now being made available on the NHS as part of the standard set of vaccinations children here get.

A Labour leader who had enthusiastically campaigned for Remain might have changed the entire dynamic of the era. I voted Labour in both elections, I liked both of the manifestos. I never liked Corbyn and agree that he got much abuse, as have many Labour leaders.

I’m 53 I learned nothing about the slave trade. My 13 year old has been taught about it in both primary and high school. I was pleasantly surprised.

Inevitably my eyes rolled a full 360 when I read the headline.

So to claim refugee status in the UK, you have to slay a dragon or would that just get you points in an Australian like system?

Who Owns England by Guy Shrubsole is a really good book about inequality of land ownership in England.

For good or ill ChatGPT is often very good at providing documentation for such things.

Advocating we teach history like China and Russia do seems a bit wild to me. I’m pretty sure there’s at least one rather prominent statue of a great Briton in Trafalgar Square, some sort of naval figure I think.
