@LaveenLadharam @ManxFreeState @HarryLang100 Hence why Army Policing is conducted by the Royal Military Police.

@PaulfrYorkshire @nigeext @JonSilk2 @njmcook And where do you think the money should come from?

[Jay Smith @J_C_Smith]

@TrisOsborneMP @pigreen1 Surely if there are falling numbers of pupils due to ‘demographic cycles’, it would be better to reduce class sizes thus providing a more conducive learning environment, rather than trying to backfill the gap with nursery provision? Not sure I follow the logic here?

Hi All, the Education Not Taxation campaign needs your help! We've created a short survey to shape our next steps and would like your thoughts.

Our fight against the Government's tax has given independent school parents and supporters a collective voice. As we continue to fight VAT, we know that other issues affect you as well.

This survey is a Google Form, and responses are anonymous. We may use AI to support our analysis. Please share far and wide!

Thank you!

@QuinsFOTS Don’t forget the British Army Vs Royal Navy men and women playing today. You can watch it on YouTube

@cjtudor @Sum1st If the aim was not to close them, why force through the measure with such immediacy, rather than a gradual introduction allowing operating models to adjust? If to raise funds, why not a more equitable way focussed on the users of the provision rather than those who don’t?

@pinstripedline @Sandbagger_01 Quantum of Compliance - Bond, against the time pressure of year end, must complete his workstation assessment, lest he fall foul of Health & Safety (DSE) regulations.

The anticipated publication of the UK's Defence Investment Plan will represent the most significant sovereign demand in a generation. How that signal is read, and by whom, will shape the quality of the investment decisions that follow.

The Armoured Brigade is one of the critical areas where #NATO’s Force Lethality Enhancement #FLE is delivering its first evidence-driven push to strengthen combat power, survivability, and speed on the battlefield.
The results point to clear gains in situational awareness, engagement speed, and personnel risk reduction: https://t.co/lUGUpHHbWY

@CrosspoolClaret @EducationNotTax @KarlTurnerMP Your point on future voters, in my opinion, is entirely valid. I was a recipient of an assisted place, and have benefited from that (which I turned into service to this country). The removal of the opportunity for others by Labour has certainly impacted my voting intentions.

@jennosj1972 @ChainSchema @AndrewBeckett @BellaWallerstei No, if it’s about fairness: apply to all or none. Why not place a levy on state education? Household income >£45,000 & children in state ed? Pay 20% on the cost, for the betterment of the system you understand. Only an extra £1800 a year or so, pretty sure the 93% can afford it.

[Jay Smith @J_C_Smith]

@TheLondonMinute You are doing a great job Michael. While I am sure it sometimes feels thankless, I can assure you that it’s landing. Keep going!

@educationgovuk Remarkable that for a Dept. of Education, you do not appreciate that it is *not* the government’s money, it’s the taxpayers’ money which you are supposed to steward on our behalf. That’s the problem - you think it’s your money; it is not and you handle it with incompetence.

@louderry @crosspot2 When she submitted it to the OBR as a major measure she was taking.

[Jay Smith @J_C_Smith]

@Peston Hold the phone… didn’t we experience a once in a generation budget that hammered businesses and parental choice last year to clear a £20bn black hole? But we are going to experience another challenging fiscal event to rectify a £20bn black hole a year later? 🤔
