A true scandal SchoolsCompany was a joke & its directors acted appallingly It’s ridiculous that millions have gone into pursuing these people It highlights just how much unscrupulous people could get away with under the soft touch/lax regulation under Michael Gove & his mates

Councillor Broadhead clearly knew something was happening, hence his preemptive letter criticising the IT system These people are “no excuses” when it comes to policing other people’s behaviour, but it’s always someone else’s fault when it’s their wrongdoing This should be career ending

But I thought Free Meals improved attainment? Perhaps it’s just more complex than just free food?

On the back a welcome Free School Meals expansion & ahead of the spending review, I just want to reiterate the priority for campaigners should still be for better per meal funding Currently there are 3.5 million pupils receiving either FSM or UIFSM With schools receiving £2.58 per meal

The most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty is to abolish the two-child limit, which would cost £7,480 per child lifted out of poverty. If it is not scrapped then one-in-three children will be in poverty by 2029-39, including half of children in large families 👉 buff.ly/oiV5Re2

A certain type of man has been waiting their entire lives to mask their faces and shoot at women in the street who don’t instantly do what they say. America has finally allowed it against white women, as for minorities. Rubber bullets will only be enough to assuage these desires for a short while…

MPs are being asked to accept unprecedented cuts to disabled people’s incomes. @trusselluk.bsky.social analysis shows these cuts are likely to create more deep poverty and hardship than even the bleak forecast from the Government’s own limited assessments 🔽 www.the-independent.com/news/uk/poli....

New analysis from @trusselluk.bsky.social shows impact of the government's massive cuts to disability support is even worse than previously thought: *440,000* people in disabled households forced into severe poverty and left at risk of needing a food bank. 1/4 www.trussell.org.uk/news-and-res...

Nearly half a million people in disabled households will be forced into severe hardship if the disability benefit cuts go ahead, new research by @trusselluk.bsky.social shows. No MP who votes for this can pretend they don’t know. www.trussell.org.uk/news-and-res...
