This thread has been re-discovered today it seems. If the BBC is going to apologise for anything, I hope it’s for its total and abject failure to critically report on Nigel Farage

"BATHING WATERS IN THE BEST STATE EVER", screams the minister "last year 93% were classified as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’".

That's an impressive number; or is it? Your short 🧵for a Sunday morning. (1/7)

Rishi Sunk has said that this year's public sector pay awards have been agreed in full but with no new or additional funding to cover them. There is literally no economic sense in this whatsoever. A short thread...

All stinks dunnit?

Check out my new article "The Teach First Effect" in @YorksBylines.

"There is no real evaluation, understanding or even recognition of the impact that this growing network is having on our public professions, services and policy"

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of our best known/best loved models in leadership. Yet Maslow never presented it as a pyramid or hierarchy. @dhambeukers has redrawn it as circles. I like the addition of a 6th component: our need to be part of & protect the bigger system, whether it's our community or the planet https://t.co/4kkdBuoiMZ

We've done it. It's been a long road, but we've found a Brexit benefit, and by jingo, it's a banger.

I would be really grateful if @guardian @ObserverUK & @TEDTalks made a comment on this ruling. Any comment.

It has huge ramifications for UK journalism. And some basic solidarity from the organisations who published the work would go a long way.

Thank you.

The Psychotherapy worm is turning it appears. Good to hear more research being done on longer term therapies.

Short-term psychodynamic therapy is more effective than CBT for depression, study finds https://t.co/A9U7XthBBa via @MITUKTeam

Q: How do you trick the population into believing that asylum seekers are becoming a bigger and bigger issue?

A: Stop processing asylum applications.

Cynical? That's exactly what the Tories did.

The % of asylum applications completed within 6 months fell from 80%+ to ~10%.

Do you understand the difference between empathy and sympathy?

@BreneBrown laid it out for us.

Two key facts have come to light over the Easter recess concerning asylum seekers...

1. Robert Jenrick admitted there are no legal routes for asylum seekers to request asylum in the UK from outside the UK, nor to come to the UK in order to claim asylum.

Thread - Fascinating isn’t it? 9/10 of those convicted for sex offences in Britain are white and male, although if you just listen to the media, you would never know. Time to change the narrative. Source: https://t.co/4DApNURCbd

This clip of Gary Lineker from 2021 feels relevant to where we are now. He outlines his interest in 'refugee issues', how he considers himself a freelancer, how Tim Davie's never called to say 'you can't tweet that' - and that he doesn't think 'they could do that anyway'.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Refugees would always be welcome in my house, Tories fucking wouldn’t.

No human is illegal.
Refugees welcome.
