Education predictions for 2026:

1) Bridget Phillipson will NOT be Education Secretary on 31 December 2026. If Starmer is still PM (unlikely), it will be Georgia Gould. If it’s Streeting, it’ll be Peter Kyle. If it’s Rayner? Justin Madders.

David Sullivan has resigned as West Ham United joint-chair after what he alleges are “factually incorrect and entirely false” allegations made against him.

What I’ve found after a year of @Carousel_Learn is that there’s far less panicked, last-minute revision before exams, as students who’ve engaged consistently just know more!

That’s allowed us to focus more on exam technique and paragraph structure.

🤞 for History Paper 2 today

[Tom HB @hb_history]

@benjaminbutter That’ll be A Level Politics, exam on Monday. They should be preparing “evaluate the view that Brexit restored sovereignty to Parliament”…

[Tom HB @hb_history]

There is no guarantee that any of these topics or questions will appear tomorrow. They are best guesses only (plus some nasty questions that I can’t imagine Edexcel will come up with, but wanted to plan just in case)!

With just over 24 hours to go, I have published my walkthroughs of potential exam questions on Edexcel GCSE History Paper 2 - Elizabeth and American West!

Incredible regen name 🏀

Nuno made key mistakes towards the end of the season, but had he been in charge for the full season they would not have led to relegation. In his first few months he had to deal with a squad systematically dismantled and totally unfit for purpose by Graham Potter.

[Jacob Steinberg @JacobSteinberg]

A bit of a shift in the mood overnight, with some on West Ham’s board wanting Nuno to stay. Situation still to be resolved in next day or two.

You don’t need to be Southampton’s data analysis team to have seen that one coming.

Following Tottenham's 1-0 win against Everton, West Ham have been relegated to the Championship. It is the first time the club will play in the second tier since 2011. #WHUFC

As I was saying…

Is it possible to get minus points?

Should students be placed in isolation/referral for not attending a revision session on the weekend or in the school holidays?

[Tom HB @hb_history]

🚨 A letter to Year 11 families at Michaela Community School states that children who do not attend weekend and holiday revision sessions will “spend time in Referral”

They must also attend in full school uniform

[Tom HB @hb_history]

Yes, without a doubt… we wouldn’t be at risk of relegation if he were in charge from the start of our season. But that is more an indictment of Graham Potter.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: West Ham United want Nuno Espírito Santo to carry on as their head coach even if they are relegated from the Premier League

Brighton Ben surprised me on this one. Coastal Keith did not.

Today was the day we’d all feared… the day Miles went to the vet and didn’t come back home.

He was 18.

A strong innings. He’ll be eating Dreamies in kitty heaven with his brother.
