We were delighted to have @AnneMcLaughlin join some of our Nat 5 and Higher modern studies classes last Friday! We had so many questions for her and our planned Q&A turned into a real chat about so many things going on in Dennistoun, Scotland and the wider world! Thank you, Anne!

Our first Higher politics advent calendar Christmas quiz!! Currently it’s a cliffhanger tie! 🤓

Late night having a fab time at the @WhitehillSec Christmas concert! Brilliant night of music and laughter! Congrats and thanks to all! 👏👏👏

Also snagged some time beforehand to finish a late entry for the Christmas door competition… 🎄🎅🏻

Westminster's day of chaos

Here's how Wednesday's drama unfolded

Trying to get my head around how I begin to frame all of this for a class…😅😐

Can’t believe it’s not only possible but probable that I’ll need to update a course I only finished creating a couple of months ago *again* due to new a PM/Govt. (Election? 👀)

Wild, wild times.

[Miss Robbie @_MissRobbie_]

Erm, so guess which topic my Higher class are due to start next week? 🤦‍♀️🫣

*Sorry, guys politics doesn’t stop for summer! 🤓

Higher Politics 👇

Power? Authority? Legitimacy? 🤨

UK democracy trying to wrangle with this PM. More to follow in the next few days/weeks, I’m sure…

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

"I think he'll be dragged kicking and screaming from Downing Street"

Former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe says "it's now going to be immensely difficult" for Boris Johnson to survive as PM

Throwback to a very different last couple of weeks of term 2 years ago… (2 years!?!?)

So glad we’re back in the classroom! (The wee fuzzball less so 😂)

Result is in! 👀

Victory for Boris Johnson. But is it really? 41% of his MPs voting no confidence in him.

Tomorrow’s discussion point 👆Yes? No? How did we get here? What’s next?

🤓 fact: T May won a 63% vote of confidence, at which point Boris Johnson said she was “toast”.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

BREAKING: Results of the confidence vote in Boris Johnson.

Confidence 211
No Confidence 148

A worse result than Theresa May suffered.

[Miss Robbie @_MissRobbie_]

On a lighter note, there are some no.10 residents who never have to be concerned about confidence votes… 🐱

[Kay Burley @KayBurley]

Seen it all before @Number10cat?

2/2

3) what are no.10 saying afterwards. Will any changes be made by the PM and his team? To cabinet? Policies brought forward? New policies introduced? If so, what/where/when? Other changes?
4) Party unity afterwards? ⬆️⬇️
5) Public reaction.

So Higher Mods & Politics folks, things to watch for:

1) how many votes the PM gets
2) how many votes the PM doesn’t get - even if he wins this number is important because votes against can still put a dent in political influence and public confidence, even in victory.

1/2

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

How many votes does Boris Johnson need to survive leadership challenge?

It's the day of #LocalElections2022 and as usual the #dogsatpollingstations is trending.
But surely #catsatpollingstations is so much better.
