Without trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have
• a minimum wage
• maternity & paternity rights
• pension provision
• holiday & sickness entitlements
victories which have benefited every single person in this country

I’ve been quiet on the subject of Ofsted recently, waiting for details to surface before commenting. So, we can see from TES and The Guardian that details have now emerged about the ‘scorecard’ system set to replace the current inspection framework next September…
Paul Andrew retweeted
They have learned nothing from their own Independent Learning Review. This proposed 'reformed' system proves what Dame Christine Gilbert found - that Ofsted's leadership and management are still 'defensive and complacent'. Must do better.”

It's a nonsense. It's no help for children to write interesting stories or non-fiction. It is overly, misleadingly and mistakenly focussed on sentences and not on themes, characters' dilemmas/motives. And fails to talk of 'story' grammar eg reveal-conceal, story arcs, obstacles.

King Charles charges this RNLI lifeboat station to launch its boat because he owns the beach. And they’re not the only charity he’s rinsing

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
£600 a year across 6 sites is a “peppercorn rent”: a small amount legally required to create a lease and therefore give rights to tenants. It is usually asked for by the tenant not the landlord, as tenants’ rights are worth far more than £100. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercor…

The Tory PPE Scandals continue
1,049,700 PALLETS of useless PPE have now been destroyed (about £8/9 BILLION)

And not a single person or politician has been charged with corruption or waste of our public money
Our system is ……

Well he wasn't on the beach while the sea was closed leaving people stranded in Kabul, and he wasn't at KGB HQ in Perugia for a Bunga Bunga party, and he wasn't doing I'm a Celebrity...so I guess if he was doing his job on the world stage then it's OK.
How much time has Keir Starmer been out of the country?
Since Sept 1 Keir Starmer has been in:
Ireland 1 day
Italy 2 days
Washington 2 days
Berlin - 1 day
Brussels - 1 day
UNGA - 3 days
Samoa - 5 days
Budapest - 1 day
France / COP - 2 days
Next week G7 - 4 days
22 days on overseas trips since start of Sept to next Wednesday in that 77 day period.
In that same period the Commons sat 34 days
This isn’t judgement about whether this is right or wrong (and we discuss pros and cons in the podcast)

New - this is simply remarkable. New data shows 42% of private school kids now get extra time with exams (compared with 26% in state schools). @bphillipsonMP wants to know why. Great story by Kieran Smith and Amy Borrett on.ft.com/3YDsrXY

They cannot and will not accept the power in being exposed day after day to written language, that gives pleasure, information, excitement, intrigue, mystery, imagination, cultural support, empathy. They can't accept that it enables children to access wider learning.
Paul Andrew retweeted
I've had one to one sessions with a series of Secretaries of State for Education and Education ministers about the power of reading for pleasure and they just shrug and say they're doing it anyway. Balls, Knight, Croaker, Gibb. They don't 'get' it. They ignore the evidence.

🚨Patients should know who is and is not a doctor. If you agree RT to let @wesstreeting know
🚨It’s time for Health Secretary @wesstreeting to come clean & confirm if Department of Health & Social Care is funding @gmcuk’s costs in defending legal actions brought by @TheBMA & @AnaesUnited to protect patient safety in the physician associates scandal - what’s the answer?

Excellent piece on the manipulative scare and anxiety creating tactics of right wing press, in this case Daily Telegraph.
Bear @i_iratus will be centring on this going forward.
Follow and send examples to Bear 👍🏼👍🏼

For those who were asleep at the back:
- the overwhelming majority of farmers will be unaffected by the proposed changes to Inheritance Tax
- those complaining about it are the multi-millionaires who saw investing in farmland as an excellent tax avoidance measure.

Dear @metpoliceuk
In understand farmers are conspiring to “grind the capital to a halt with their tractors”.
I assume you will want to arrest them and send them to jail for many years to discourage this.
Yours more in hope than expectation,

The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:
