@bertiecarvel @channel5_tv @AcornTV @My5_tv It’s brilliant! Love the books and your interpretation is excellent.

Another grim article that seeks to justify violent assault against students and teachers. It’s unbelievable how some people can find out a student attacked others in school, needed to be excluded as a result, and their sympathies are solely reserved for the attacker. https://t.co/Ot01RWyDYm

I've been re-reading the 1945 manifestos for a thing next week.

The sections on education - written in the middle of an economic crisis, with a huge job of reconstruction ahead - make quite a contrast with the narrowly econometric vision we get today.

@RichardGCorbett UK public opinion is approaching the super-majority for Rejoin (+65%) which, if sustained, is considered in Brussels as a convincing renunciation of the marginal (and dodgy) Brexit vote in June 2016

RISHI SUNAK IS A LIAR. Tell your friends

Keir Starmer didn’t “work for terrorists”
Mr Sunak

On the contrary he led the service that brought dozens of terrorists to justice. He met with victims of terror attacks to listen to their views. He had the confidence of our intelligence agencies to keep us safe

Sunak: we will ensure the state pension is never subject to tax. Hmmm. @DWP told me in an FOI that 1.5million people already have a state pension which by itself is liable to tax.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Outraged by the Israeli strikes that have killed many displaced persons in Rafah.

These operations must stop. There are no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians.

I call for full respect for international law and an immediate ceasefire.

@MortyMark I’m old enough to have lived through 13 years of Labour rule and 31 of Tory. I’ll be voting Labour without any hesitation whatsoever.
