Another example of Trump/Musk policy killing people around the world. In the Thai-Myanmar border migrant camp Umpiem Mai, home to more than 10,000 displaced people, staff departure triggered by USAID cuts, forced sick patients to return home and multiple patients, relying on oxygen support, died.

Freefall. 'Academy trusts could be on the verge of going bust.' 'But CEO pay back on the up.' The magic bullet, as we've always argued, was a dud. Except for the big-rollers of course. schoolsweek.co.uk/trusts-on-ve...

@bphillipsonMP fair to say you'd flattered to deceive until yesterday. Hopes of teachers and teaching assistants dashed in a truly awful speech. Nothing to alleviate the recruitment + retention crisis, nothing to alleviate the dire funding crisis. Alienating Govian tosh.

Please contact both your local MP and Bridget Phillipson (Secretary of State for Education) about this move to eradicate any mention of trans people from PSHE education. Highlight the similarities with section 28 and what Trump is doing in the US.

Teachers in Harris primary schools are leaving at twice the rate of those in maintained schools. This chaos disrupts pupils’ education and puts unfair pressure on staff. It’s not good enough – return your ballot paper to campaign for the change the schools desperately need. 🗳️ Vote now.

This article is reinforcing myths that the fat CEOs like Daniel Moniyhan want people to believe. Proper research by Professor Stephen Gorard shows that academisation has not improved attainment. @schoolsweek.bsky.social you could do better! #edusky

@schoolsweek.bsky.social There is a coordinated & sustained attempt to undermine the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill by fat cat CEOs, shady lobbyists in the NSN & CST and remnants of a rotten Tory establishment. They are putting self interest before children’s needs. #edusky #defendthebill

School funding is set to be at its lowest rate since at least 2010. Making Chancellor Reeves the first Labour Chancellor since 1979 to force schools to make cuts. Tell your MP you won’t stand for it:https://buff.ly/4hxpRdS

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization. He is who we think he is.

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.

Angry and disheartened at the job cuts at Essex —a place where I studied, did my PhD, and grew through student politics. It’s where I met mentors, friends and my partner. This isn't just about budgets; it's about the erosion of a vibrant community that fosters education, activism, and connection.
