I've seen the #REFUK Councils referred to as "unserious government". That's #Kent County Councillors for you in a nutshell. They don't want to work.

'Walking into a primary school in the UK and finding not a single male teacher in sight is the daily reality for many young boys. The proportion of male secondary school teachers is at a record low, reducing children's chances to connect with positive male figures during their formative years.'

We are used to #Trump 's level of stupidity but this is an embarrassment to the whole USA government.

There's notion that if students do not study geography they've become ‘lost’ from the subject. But, recognising how they take geog with them, regardless of where or what they do, is critical in demonstrating our subject’s value Kate Otto @geographicalassoc.bsky.social ga-blog.org/2025/06/06/t...

From the other site: "Even REFUK's friends at the BBC point out that nice people don’t do #Tice. Friendly people don’t do #Farage. Polite people don’t do #Pochin. Loving people don’t do #Lee! And merry people don’t do McMurdoch."

I wrote this about how to read and why. Books remain the best technology ever invented to understand life and the world. There is no alternative. Every book you read helps you build a richer picture of the entire world. jmarriott.substack.com/p/how-i-read

When a Reform councillor brands children in care as “evil”, it says more about political ignorance than the kids themselves. Here’s why.

Split. Some places seem to defy their history or, as we prefer, their geography of the past.

I worked with her. She was always nuts. That's why I couldn't believe Tory MPs would put her in the final two for the leadership. They *knew* she was nuts.

Let me be clearer. I was former head of UK Foreign Office humanitarian affairs, incl policy on war crimes, genocide. I helped craft policy for international criminal court. I’m in no doubt these are war crimes. Disproportionate, indiscriminate, collective punishment by an occupying power.

#ReformUK have so far cancelled 4 out of 5 Kent County Council committee meetings. It's not governance - it's paralysis. www.fhld.uk/news/article...

A "lay up" is a #golf shot that is played conservatively in order to avoid trouble ahead on the hole. For example, you might be able to clear that water hazard up ahead ... then again, you're not certain. Go for it? Or chicken out?" From now on it will be called a #TACO #Trump shot.

Israel has taken over the distribution of food in Gaza from the UN. This is how they treat the starving Palestinians, forcing them into cages like animals before giving them slightest amount of food. How can the world let this happen?
