"... harming flexibility and admissions and tightening control on local authorities. That isn't about raising standards. It is about government control. It doesn't fix what is broken, it breaks what is working. It doesn't raise standards, it lowers them." - Baroness Meyer #AreYouListeningNow

"In 2023, only 1.4% of home educated children got a school attendance order ... the same year, 10% of state schools were considered to be inadequate or require improvement by Ofsted. Where is the problem in the system? #HomeEducation is, I think, a vital safety valve..." - Lord Frost Definitely!

"Home education has long thrived not because of regulation but because of trust. Trust that #parents, not bureaucrats, are best placed to know what the children need. Trust that diversity of thought strengthens society, rather than weakening it." - Lord Wei Absolutely!

This is a definite quote of the day: "Advocacy must never be treated as a threat. Children’s rights must never be sacrificed for institutional reputation." - Michael Charles. Many Local Authorities and schools seem to think the opposite of this - if that bill goes thru, things will get worse.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Loving the alliteration here from Zack Polanski. Reform - Cosplaying for the Cameras when they really stand for the interests of Billionare Backers? 🙅🏻‍♀️❌ versus Greens - a real People-Power Party to tax the super-rich to fix Broken Britain! 🫡✅

Thank goodness we privatised our energy companies in the UK. We NEVER get nationwide power cuts as they are now suffering in Europe. Our privatised energy companies are so well run.👏 Also we are not in the EU! Another guarantee against such a disaster happening in our country.🇬🇧

Every single woman has to prove they are a woman now to strangers in the UK. This is what the ruling means. The oppression and regression of women's rights and bodily autonomy. It does nothing fo prevent male violence against women. I can only see it increasing.

Post-Brexit plan would allow British and European 18 to 30-year-olds to travel and work freely. A small and welcome step in undoing the Brexit damage. Must extend it to all, as well as free movement of goods Rejoin the EU. Better than being enslaved by Trump.
