I've been looking at some of the EEF trials and what worries me is that they're mostly about testing some kind of programme or intervention which means the only things that get evidenced are programmes and interventions. Essentially we could end up valuing most what is most easily measured.

This whole 'he didn't mean it that way' Starmer thing is doing my head in. If it can be interpreted like that by the people you're aiming it at, or by the people you're effectively attacking, then you meant it but you're doing it as sub text. It's the 'was it a Nazi salute?' thing all over again. 🤦‍♀️

This is not a complaint but after 30 years of working in/with state schools in England, much of my CPD work is now in independent schools, in Scotland and overseas. I think this says something interesting about the way the system has changed in England. A lot of it is now centrally/DfE controlled.

This is bleak reading

This is a Labour MP. I wouldn't use a screenshot but she has turned off QT and replies so no choice as I'm hardly going to repost without comment. Now tell me again that Starmer's government isn't using loud dog whistles. 😒

Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, is proposing cruel anti-migrant policies to pander to the far right. Our country doesn't have to be fuelled by this hatred. Immigration benefits our society and economy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland is a country for all.

And it’s absolutely vile & hugely offensive

Well done Labour Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you. Anyone who didn’t, still won’t. People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience. You’ve managed to turn off everyone. Quite the achievement!

'Island of Strangers?' Not in North London's name & North Londoner Keir Starmer once knew it 👇 wp.me/p15p2Q-e9G

the thing is, ‘concern’ about immigration is directly proportional to how much media coverage is focused on immigration, so even assuming Labour reduce the absolute numbers by 2030, the only way that it will make voters happy is if the press decide it should

this is not an exaggeration

From 1968. In many ways, we have gone backwards

Honestly Labour ffs what are you DOING! We didn't vote Labour to get Reform. 🤦‍♀️

it was not right that Hasan was stopped however his encounter seems to have ended when he asked if he was being detained. if this happens to you the script is simple am I being detained? If no: may I go If yes: invoke the 5th

If my children ask me one day what it was that led me, a lifelong believer in the Union and 2014 No voter, to believe that Scotland would be better off independent, I'll tell them it was the Tories who opened my mind to the idea but Labour who sealed the deal.

I've always used my vote but I'm starting to understand why so many people don't bother.

We’re not an island of strangers- We’re a tapestry, bold and bright. Every culture, every story, Turns difference into light. Welcoming new faces Builds bridges, not divides. Britain’s true strength Is everyone, side by side.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

I'm not meaning to be sarcastic but isn't Labour meant to be a left wing party? Why do they need to keep trying to appeal to the right rather than advocating for progressive values and policies?

I mean the natural reaction to this is "good" so I'm not sure what these ridiculous people are expecting. Off you go now and no need to inform us thanks.

Having met many NYC educators last week, I’m unsurprised. They’re a strong bunch.

Crashing out like the stock market this morning.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Having stoners answer customer service calls is so effective. My grocery delivery got stolen (so I'm mad) so I called the store & some dude was like "Seriously? Damn, what the fuck" and I was like "Right? Dude, I know" and he's like "Fuck dude, let me get this fixed" and I was like "Bro, thank you."
