An excellent piece on a critical issue: ‘This is not a moral or ethical question about providing support, it is a question of the practical application of how to better support pupils and then how can it be funded’ www.tes.com/magazine/new...

NEW: My piece for the Observer on how I was so deep into my investigation into Cambridge Analytica that I failed to realise that Hannah - my ex's daughter - was facing a human version of it: a stalker who was harvesting her data and weaponising it against her. 1/ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

English is suffering an identity crisis. It was born out of the tongues of the Germanic tribes who once swept across Britain. Yet now, it has a vocabulary dominated by French and Latin terms. Is English still Germanic? Let's see: m.youtube.com/watch?v=PCE4...

Lovely morning working with early years colleagues in East Sussex. Everyone was in agreement that the curriculum is too full, not developmentally appropriate enough, the pressures on children/teachers are too high and we need to be allowed to make more space and time for children to play. #EduSky

On International Women's Day 2025, I want to pay tribute to the courage of Dr Viktoriia Kovach, Chief Medical Officer of Ukraine's Third Assault Brigade. In January, I spent 24 hours with the combat medics she leads on the front line. Please read 🇺🇦 #IWD25 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Hi All, I released the first part of my weekend update early (it’s all free) because what we are seeing is so extreme it needs to be said now. The USA is now openly admitting to helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Indeed, Trump seems to be enjoying it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Latest piece in @theatlantic.com with @eliotacohen.bsky.social Trump is speaking nonsense when he says Ukraine has no cards, it was actually taking a very heavy toll on Russia's strength. Trump's aid cut off is actually something done to help Russia a great deal. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I’ve been digging into the quality of EHCPs, plans that parents are dragged through court sometimes to obtain, and that are bankrupting councils What’s actually in them? Are they good quality? Personalised? Include interventions backed by evidence? Are they fully funded? The answer often is no

Btw, all the talk you hear about Trump going for a third term is absolutely right. One plan you will hear about more and more is Trump to run as VP in 2028. He this would not be elected to a third term. It would end up in the Supreme Court…

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

How to pay for defence? Keir Starmer plans to cut aid. But Keynes had a better idea in 1941: tax the rich. And we could do it now... Prof @richardjmurphy.bsky.social writes on #DefenceSpending & #FairTaxation

This is an older story, but worth keeping in mind through every step of the AI hype cycle. The whole business model relies on violating copyright law. If your business model relies on stealing your inputs, that's normally called not having a viable business model.

When Essex planned to close a third of its libraries, thousands of residents refused to let it happen. Protests, petitions and persistence forced the council to about-turn – now, every library remains open, some with imaginative refurbs. @jennyrhodes42.bsky.social reports

This thread from earlier today is literally just me offloading after 16 years of helping to run an actual early years setting. It's so frustrating that politicians don't listen so please excuse me the rant. 😉
