Northern Powerhouse. Levelling up. HS2. Northern Powerhouse Rail. Now, Northern Network: honestly, @RishiSunak - you’ve deprived our children of a chance. You and your circus of smiling liars can rot in hell.
Video: the two pieces of the HS2 puzzle - Leeds and Manchester - that made the whole thing make sense, scrapped. They’ve widened the commuter belt for London, doing precisely, PRECISELY the opposite of levelling up. They’ve helped themselves. Again. 👇🏼

It’s the final f**k you. Like it’s been planned.
“What we’ll do, in the end, once London is hooked up to Birmingham with high speed rail, having quietly shafted Leeds, we’ll go to Manchester, in person, look them in the eye and tell them they fell for it. Hook, line, sinker.”
@BryonyShannon @Richard_Autism Language is so important and this is a great piece. I have referred to it with students. Hope that’s ok and I hope they think more about the words they use! 😊
@maisy_mcadam@angeblack200 Really important question in this discussion! A LD is still a clinical dx around cognitive ability. Many people have learning difficulties/differences and we don’t know about that but from her use of language and understanding it would be assumed that she would not have LD.
@RoseUnwin@Channel4 It’s a slur. However the some of the worst and yet still acceptable are those slurs that would describe people with LD. And the offensive nature is because of what it describes. God forbid people would hear words that meant people thought they were like one of ‘those’ people.

How to say "my meal is bad"
It's certainly different
Not what I expected
Yours looks nice
I've had better/worse
I wouldn't order it again
Good to have a change
It’s an acquired taste
I’m glad I tried it
It’s fine, honestly
I’ve never seen it cooked this way
It’s interesting
Mmm
