ISC census shows a drop of 2.4% in pupil numbers. The Times tries to hype this up but the ISC previous claimed numbers would drop by 25%. My estimate was 3-5% by next year. www.thetimes.com/article/893e...

Howard Lutnick on UK Deal: “They opened their market for the first time in 30 years for 5 billion in exports, while paying us 6 billion a year in tariffs” Fact check: The UK won’t pay a penny. American companies importing goods from the UK will pay the tariffs, and pass the cost on to consumers.

Simple, straight-forward reform with no downsides. Bureaucratic intransigence - 'an apprenticeship must be 12 months' - held this up for years. Good on Labour for pushing it through. Interest in the route is increasing - and this will help more good TAs become teachers.

Old man Trump is not well. Republicans in Congress and the cable news talking heads know it—so it’s time to stop pretending. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so dangerous. He actually believes this nonsense—and we’re the ones who’ll pay the price. ALL OF US.

Alan Amos, Reform UK’s candidate for Bedwardine, Worcestershire is a familiar name… He’s a former Conservative MP, but then he decided to stand for Labour, but then went back to the Conservatives and became a councillor. Then he was an independent, now he’s chancing his luck with Reform.

Thanks to the Labour Government, around 1.2m households, 700k with children, will be £420 better off each year on average due to Universal Credit changes coming into force today. The changes help those struggling with debt, with the new Fair Repayment Rate reducing debt deductions from 25% to 15%.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
