The current measles outbreak in London shows us that vaccination is not just a personal choice but essential to protect the community. A highly infectious disease like measles can spread rapidly in areas with low vaccine uptake; putting children at risk. https://t.co/6q6hyXYQaw

Appalling. This is not “criminal damage” and “public nuisance” - this is attempted murder and should be treated as such.

UPDATE: Police have arrested two teenager boys after footage circulated online of a seat being launched over a barrier at Stratford Westfield shopping centre, narrowly missing bystanders as it plunged down two storeys and on to the ground.

[Ormiston Academies Trust @OrmistonAcads]

Following a recent inspection, @OrmistonDenes has been rated good in all areas by @Ofstednews for the first time since joining Ormiston 10 years ago - marking an impressive transformation for the school.

Inspectors highlighted the significant improvements under Principal Kate Williams and commended the dedication to personal development, stating that staff “leave no stone unturned in their work to build students’ self-esteem.”

Huge congratulations to the staff, pupils and community! 👏

[Ray Wang @RWang1998]

Fantastic news, huge congratulations to the @OrmistonVenture staff and students!

@OrmistonTrust

[Ormiston Academies Trust @OrmistonAcads]

We are proud to announce @OrmistonVenture has retained its outstanding @Ofstednews rating - a testament to the academy’s unwavering commitment to excellence in education.

Inspectors praised the academy’s “superb behaviour” and highlighted that “pupils do excellently at Venture. They benefit from the highest expectations of what they can achieve.”

This recognition reflects the dedication of the school’s staff, the inspiration of its students and the strength of its supportive community 👏 🔗 https://t.co/8ayRWhqDo5

Economically illiterate, culturally offensive and yet more American hubris and racism.

High time for MAGA Republicans fantasising about 19th/20th century imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism & gun boat diplomacy to wake up (although that’s probably a fantasy in itself…)

U.S. Vice President JD Vance on China and its people:

We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things that those Chinese peasant manufacture.

Delighted to be invited to judge this year’s @ASSETEdu Awards representing @OrmistonTrust.

Some very strong nominations of students, staff and community partners who have made amazing contributions to their local learning environment and primary education in Suffolk. 👏👏👏

[Ray Wang @RWang1998]

Completely agree. This happened to me too outside Slough train station on the way to a night shift in the hospital… reported the crime and the GPS data and nothing came to it.

Low level crime in this country is effectively decriminalised… more than rhetoric is needed!

[Robert Peston @Peston]

When I had a mobile phone snatched by a biker, I gave the police precise GPS details of its two UK locations, including Google maps pictures of front doors. The police refused to go to the addresses or investigate.

This was maddening. The officers said they were not allowed to act on GPS locational data - and also that there are so many street crimes that they can’t cope. But they did want to visit me to take a pointless statement and offer me victim support, when what I actually wanted was my phone back. It is now in Algeria.

The police are significantly under-resourced but there is also an issue about how the existing resources are being deployed.

The Home Secretary says she will give the police the power to act on location data. But it is unclear when this will happen, and why the police can’t even now simply go to a property and knock on a door as a warning to the thieves that they are being watched. And as for the failure to use cctv images, don’t get me started.

Of course thefts and crimes such as the one I experienced are trivial compared to many that go unsolved. Which is why what is reported below will resonate widely.

PS I am not being funny but I thought the most counter-intuitive aspect of the Louise Haigh case is that a decade ago the police took an interest in where her phone might be

I just cannot believe what I have woke up to this morning… a spectre is haunting America. That a convicted felon, demagogue and deeply dishonest person is returning to power is absolutely horrifying.

[Ray Wang @RWang1998]

On campus @imperialcollege to hear @uksciencechief Dame Angela McLean speak this afternoon on putting science advice at the centre of govt decision making.

Such an important and timely topic in our present age of populism and disinformation.

[Ray Wang @RWang1998]

At @ExeterCollegeOx attending the South East Undergraduate Medical Education in Secondary Care conference today.

Fascinating insights from speakers on NHS Workforce Plan & research in MedEd. Great to catch up w/ colleagues @FrimleyHealth @OUHospitals too.

[The King's Fund @TheKingsFund]

In our new long read, we outline seven key areas for action that we believe the government's forthcoming 10-year health plan should prioritise to ensure the #NHS can better tackle #HealthInequalities. See our seven priorities below – and read more here: https://t.co/yRg3siiRY1

@OrlaHilton @NIHRresearch @LSHTM Huge congratulations Orla!

[Professor Azeem Majeed @Azeem_Majeed]

Congratulations to all students who obtained a university place this year. Do ensure that you are up to date with your MenACWY (meningitis) & MMR vaccines before you start your course. Vaccination protects you from the risk of serious illness and death and reduces NHS pressures.
