When we set arbitrary goals for children and then find them lacking when they fail to meet them, we create problems which can last a life time. We can't fix the children because there's nothing wrong with them. We have to change the system. 13/
fascinating that the biggest income raiser (£11bn) in the Budget documents - the recently announced change to tuition fees - wasn’t mentioned by the chancellor at all
It’s hard to overstate the scale of the cost of living crisis coming - but the Chancellor has prioritised burnishing his tax-cutting credentials over support for the low-to-middle income households hardest hit by this crisis, says RF's @TorstenBell
The good: higher NICs threshold
The bad: measly £500m via local authorities to help the poorest
The daft: promising to cut income tax while also raising NICs rate
According to this chart (done before the statement), raising the NIC threshold (green bars) will help everyone a bit, mostly in the middle. Sunak didn't offer much extra for ppl at the bottom, who will be struggling most.
The only reason that our education system is not imploding is because of our brilliant school staff.
Not the govt.
Not the DfE.
It's only functioning because of the amazing people who work in our schools and colleges.
Sending strength to every single one of you.

@HRTinker I keep it quite quiet. Basically the team colours suit my complexion. (Nothing to do with years working in Spain and going to matches. Nope. Nothing to see here.) 😇
