All inspection reform is turd in glitter stuff. Fundamentally it’s just not possible for strangers to reliably evaluate a school in a couple of days. Any notion of grading accuracy is a delusion. Why are we wedded to the charade? Schools should be known and supported over time.

This three minutes and twelve second clip of GB News getting absolutely owned on Brexit is one of the best things I’ve seen on this site in a while.

Today we say goodbye to a giant of the Labour movement.

Thank you, John.

Tomorrow’s hearing with Pete Hegseth is a HUGE deal. 

I believe every American should care deeply about the person who holds the lives of our men and women in uniform in their hands. 

Here’s 10 questions we need answers to – and yes, I'm going to be pretty damn blunt:

🧵

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Today the @HouseGOP put out their rules for the next two years of Congress.

If you thought their dysfunction, disorganization, and disarray was bad before, buckle up, because it’s about to get even worse. A 🧵…

The Tories won’t want to hear this.

They accuse Labour of “giving away British assets” over the Chagos Islands and Elgin Marbles – yet they’ve been selling off crown jewels for decades.

Here are 8 things the Tories flogged (and the damage it caused):

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Over 74 million Americans voted for Democrats in this election. They don’t expect us to roll over & play dead. And progressive policies—like paid sick leave, minimum wage increases, and abortion rights—won ballot measures around the country. I’m staying in the fight.

[Jake Lambert @JakeyLambert]

@SPBeale I’ve been making almost identical sheets for years. Can’t believe it never occurred to me to call them synoptic circles! Genius

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Chris Christie told @MargaretHoover that Charles Kushner's criminal case was "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he had handled.

Trump just nominated Kushner to be the US Ambassador to France.

[Robert Hutton @RobDotHutton]

If Louise Haigh wanted a new phone, she should simply have peddled a get-rich-quick scheme under a false name.

[William Hague @WilliamJHague]

Just been sent this. Think he won that one.

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

[Sebastian Salek @sebastiansalek]

Labour racked up the wins this week.

Lots of new initiatives to make the country fairer and greener in particular. (Though much of it didn’t make the papers.)

Labour introduced more bills in its first 100 days than the Tories did in the whole of 2010.

Here are all 17:
