Most of us joined Twitter , a cool, fun site, with tinges of naughty & dark. For me now it’s mostly darkness. Twitter is dead. It is time to leave. Read 👇

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the absolute state of X in January 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation.

Bridget Phillipson needs to listen, she's damaged the Independent schools sector, now her ideological meddling is heading for the state.

[Neil O'Brien @NeilDotObrien]

A searing speech from Labour MP Dame Siobhain Mcdonagh slating the destructive Schools Bill - she set out her "serious concerns" brilliantly.

I hope the Labour leadership will listen.

The mother's sorrow. There was no support for her to keep him on the right track. State boarding schools need to be a thing.

[Vinnie O'Dowd @VinnieoDowd]

Mary Bokassa last saw her son Kelyan at lunch time yesterday. He went to an appointment by bus, but died after being attacked on the bus with a knife. The killer remains at large.

I can't stand this kind of stuff, it may seem cute but it's about the human's ego as per usual

We know that this year is likely to be tough. Are re people ready? Mentally, spiritually, physically even?

[Amanda @Briesias]

As we are appear to be nastier to each other as humans, male v female, racial divisions, etc. There's all these videos of often wild animal petting...

@isitjustmeonly @EducationNotTax @MaidwellHall yes, things were tight but the tax onslaught finished them off. Lots of businesses operate at loss, and hope to turn things round.

[Amanda @Briesias]

Focus on the economy you cultural war wasters.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

On Wednesday we’re tabling a vote on a full national inquiry into the rape gangs grooming scandal.

Thousands of girls were abused. The system failed them. We need answers.

Keir Starmer can choose either to back it, or block it.

[Amanda @Briesias]

@isitjustmeonly @EducationNotTax @MaidwellHall Parents can't afford the fees, the fees have to cover VAT on the education, employers NI increase for teachers, business rates relief gone, general inflation of energy, too much too soon... These schools often work on v tight margins.

[Amanda @Briesias]

Too much tax, piled on too soon. This history of Labour and the economy is not a pretty one. They think they are doing the right thing but its alway ends up costing...

[ENT - Education Not Taxation @EducationNotTax]

Another independent school @maidwellhall will be closed, leaving 160 students displaced and jobs lost. Not-for-profit schools operate on tight margins, and when Govt policies give them a good kicking, some are bound to fall. The consequences? Kids education, mental health harmed, and increased demand for state-funded places—costs not accounted for in the #SchoolFeeVAT policy. Slow clap, @RachelReevesMP. #EducationNotTax https://t.co/T3gTKl61XH @bphillipsonMP @CommonsEd @KemiBadenoch @ISC_schools @LauraTrottMP @TiceRichard @IsabelPat1886 @BBCNews

[C20 Society @C20Society]

NEWS: As the longwave switch-off nears, C20 Society has called for the listing of two historic 213m radio masts at the Droitwich Transmitting Station in Worcestershire.

In continual use since September 1934, the masts have played a pivotal role in WWII and the D-Day landings, and broadcast such national staples as the Shipping Forecast, Test Match Special, and the World Service.

Good, don't let this drop. It's not just about #RobertBrooks, it's about a system not being honest with itself about what it is. No more silence about violence by COs in prisons.
