Just to clarify things, I'm on my sofa watching #SuperBowl2024, not warming up to do the half-time show.

Just the most amazing nonsense being talked about 20mph speed limits: it’s not fuel efficient, you’ll be looking at the speedo, it’s distracting. Good grief. Like American gun nuts demanding the right to kill people.

Tell me you know nothing about school governance without telling me you know nothing about school governance (etc) 🤨

@sarahbeanscott @MsGHist It still doesn’t explain why they’re needed? Schools are accountable to so many people & academy bosses too, so why this bunch of old retired dudes & people doing their bit for ‘charity’ or whatever it is? They’re so pointless. Happy to be corrected but in 20 yrs, not understood!

Talking about freedom, sat in Margaret Thatcher’s old Rover.

Earlier I spoke to @Telegraph about how important cars are for families to live their lives. It’s something anti-motorist Labour just don’t seem to get.

Shocking. Also: completely unsurprising.

Also: the labelling of expertise, insight & knowledge as an "influencer" (with quotes) - because they are listened to & trusted?

Presumably in contrast to the established rosy view of influencers within the DfE: https://t.co/4AqzG0IbeF

This may be about to become a much bigger story than I anticipated when I submitted my SAR, turns out it’s happened to a lot of people! Many people are afraid to speak out because they’re worried about their work and there is an imbalance of power at play here. Of course as a

Timing not great! Teachers on their knees as end of term approaches. No teacher should feel guilty for not reading this. It's a helpful doc but doesn't contain anything revolutionary. Enjoy the rest of term with your pupils - this can wait! Read when energy levels allow.

@ShakinthatChalk tbf I figure all schools will have a few parents who do that...
...or maybe staff. Or governors.

Apropos of not very much, I think we should remember that you can create very, very convincing pictures with generative AI, and that we should be careful about making assumptions on the veracity of images until we know for sure if they're real.
