Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama.

Do you remember when @GaryLineker said some of the dehumanising language used by the last Tory government about migrants and asylum seekers was reminiscent of Germany in the 30s. And the right were furious. Outrageous they screeched. Well, he wasn't wrong was he.
Posted Friday. Finally delivered today because I met the postman in the village and asked about it. Lenses that wet urgent. Very poor service from@RoyalMail
In the 24 hours since this post was published, two further victims have come forward. It is possible that if the church had responded properly to my friend’s disclosure they might not have been abused. Church safeguarding failures have real consequences.

Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, "not invented here syndrome". https://t.co/yi1XY0v8gN
Incredibly important proof that Sure Start was a fantastic social innovation eviscerated by purposeless Austerity. From 3500 centres in 2010 to 1000 today. All to achieve - what? To turn back the clock on social mobility and the relief of inequality.
