Hmm…tricky as the MAT he led got rid of so many ‘difficult’ (sic) pupils for years under the snappy tagline of ‘flattening the grass’ So what kind of authority does HMCI have here? Asking for a quite a few friends. theguardian.com/education/20…

A few parachute payments doesn’t change 150 years of history
🤔 Who is bigger - Sheffield United or Sheffield Wednesday?
We put the question to @BeastlyOli and @krisvoakes and asked them to state their case...

🔴KING CHARLES & Prince William’s estates avoid tax, charge NHS £11.4M for ambulance storage & force tenants to live with damp, mould & fuel poverty
How much longer will we allow such privileges❓
Is it time to rethink the system❓

Whose legacy is kids like me being here against the odds.
Today I was so incredibly proud to give my maiden speech as the first woman Member of Parliament for Bolsover.

Incredibly disappointed in news from @educationgovuk that #historyteacher #ITT students will not receive a bursary in 2025/26. It locks out brilliant prospective teachers who can't afford to self fund, AND makes achieving QTS harder than it should be. uonhistoryteachertraining.sc… 1/
Never mind consultation, get on and do it! Obvious benefits. Can’t wait any longer to right this wrong and to bring back 2p fares!
Since the 1980s, our buses have been in a spiral of decline.
But today we’ve taken a big step towards fixing our public transport.
We’ve now taken the decision to move to public consultation on our plans to bring buses back under public control.
Have your say from 23 October.

It's been a privilege to be an Oracy Commissioner, and our report is out! All children need to learn *through* talk, *to* talk, and *about* talk. This needs many, varied & connected aspects of education – from sure foundations in early years to sustained work in adolescence.
We need to talk about oracy—what it is, why it matters, and why it matters now, in particular.
We are proud to share the final report from The Oracy Education Commission, including our findings and recommendations.
We need to talk👇

On John Sheridan’s 60th birthday, here he is scoring one of the best goals you’ve never seen, in an all-Sheffield ZDS Cup tie at Hillsborough in 1989.
What a run. What a finish. What a player!

There is no such thing as a migrant crime wave. It's a myth spread by racist agitators. 🧵 brennancenter.org/our-work/a…
More time for History then!!
"Our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against the disinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories awash on social media" says @bphillipsonMP

Last night the British people showed that we stand in solidarity against racist thugs. We kept peace on the streets. Ever the cowards, the far-right rioters slunk away home. So much for your "civil war", @elonmusk.
As so often, Monbiot sums it up perfectly.
When the X-mob spills into the streets. My column explores how the far riots were stirred up by years of Tory hate-speech, augmented by the media (including the BBC) and, latterly, @elonmusk.
