@AnalyticoFC @PSG_English I think we also know who had the easier journey to the final (by far)!

[Laura Trott MP @LauraTrottMP]

What has Labour really done to education?

They have taken a wrecking ball to the cross party consensus that drove up school standards across this country. Labour looked at the evidence and chose ideology instead. They are following Wales down the same failed path.

They promised that taxing education would create 6,500 new teachers. There are 400 fewer teachers.

The Government claimed only 3,000 pupils would leave the private sector after their vindictive tax. The DfE’s own figures now show around 11,000 fewer pupils in private schools by mid 2025.

And meanwhile schools are being pushed into the red by Rachel Reeves’ jobs tax & unfunded pay rises. Ministers talk about teacher satisfaction while the threat of strikes grow.

Labour have failed to help students trapped on Plan 2 loans.

They are doing nothing about dead end degrees that leave young people buried in debt with no serious job prospects.

They have botched Ofsted reform and weakened accountability across the system.

They have even made it illegal for people to donate school uniforms 🤯

They axed higher level apprenticeships and starts among U25 year olds fell in the last academic year.

After dragging their feet for 18 months, they have watered down the guidance on gender questioning in schools. Children as young as 5 can according to their guidance “socially transition” at primary school. This is wrong.

The £2 billion SEND blackhole remains & Labour will not tell parents whether the money will come from schools or SEND provision.

Childcare costs have only been cut in half because Conservative reforms are working. Reforms Labour opposed every step of the way.

Attendance has seen its best improvement in over a decade because they continued the changes that were already working.

Behaviour remains a crisis in schools. Social media is fuelling violence and knife crime. Labour mocked our calls to ban phones in schools and introduce restrictions for under 16s. Thankfully this was one of their many u turns.

Knives are still being brought into schools by children as young as six. Labour blocked out proposed tougher measures to crack down on knives in schools.

Their curriculum review opens the door to more ideological teaching under the banner of “citizenship” for children as young as four, taking time away from the core knowledge and skills children need.

Labour rejected our amendment to give parents the right to see what their children are being taught in school. Party politics over common sense.

That is Labour’s record on education. They are trashing the progress we made and the country won’t forgive them for it.

It's amazing that the entire British media and political establishment will spend weeks obsessing over how exactly a paedophile's best friend was appointed by our government, while completely ignoring the fact that the government is destroying our economy through Net Zero, bankrupting the country through welfarism and punitive taxation and disarming the country by failing to fund the military despite repeated warnings from senior military figures.

This obsession with trivia is partly human nature, of course. But it's also a dereliction of duty and a reflection of just how unserious our entire political class has become.

Florida’s state budget is $117 billion.
Florida's population is 23.7 million

New York's state budget is $237 billion
New York's state population is 20 million

New York City’s budget is $127 billion.
It's population is 8.4 million

Florida is thriving.
NY and NYC are in crisis.

This is the outcome when you host a post match rugby function for six (6) junior international teams at the U18 Series! Competitive opponents on the field, but pure camaraderie off it! Rugby’s future stars and World In Union! We are different, but we are one. 🇿🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷 🇬🇪 🇮🇪

Today’s Springbok loss has harrowing similarities to the Springbok loss to New Zealand at Ellis Park in 2022.

🇿🇦 SA 22 - 38 Aus 🇦🇺 (2025)
🇿🇦 SA 23 - 35 NZ 🇳🇿 (2022)

Both games ended up in runaway wins for the visitors, who both scored a flurry of tries in the final stages.

Game plans weren’t identical from the Boks, but both had the same flow of being sucked into playing “Super Rugby” and moving away from traditional strengths that lead to us having over exposed edges in the final minutes of the game.

@HORISracing @BrentWR @SLBAlt @B0bJobB0B @robprogressive What moron puts savings into a 0% interest account?
