Private schools receive £7,000 per pupil from the Government, and the money parents pay in fees.

State schools receive £5,500 per pupil, that is it.

Private schools should receive NOTHING from the state, RT if you agree.

Happy Publication Day to #ColinWalsh for the fantastic #Kala from @AtlanticBooks

If you are looking for a novel to completely absorb you, that you can’t stop thinking about, then this is what you need to read!

Thank you so much @theotherkirsty and @sofeeeee for my proof copy.

And the "exceptional situation", was @thameswater?

[Mountain @sharpeleven]

Have you noticed how there’s been a sudden amplification of the “Privatise The NHS” trope?

The BBC leading the way with #r4today, Kuenssberg and ‘special debate’ programmes. Then, corrupt former politicians now working for Banks/Corporations, like Blair and Javid.

Disturbing.

Not to be outdone in yesterday's national sewage dumping frenzy @SouthernWater romp confidently into 2nd place behind @SouthWestWater with 10 beaches polluted.

GB ‘News’ presenter and occasional MP, McVey, gawps at teachers striking and Andrea🖕Jenkyns wonders why they can’t strike in the school holidays. Neither of these pea-brained culture war warriors seems to understand that public sector strikes are evidence of their own failure.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Just Matt Hancock on how he wants “the NHS to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century” - as though the shoddy IT, ancient computers & unfit-for-purpose, second-rate software are nothing to do with him whatsoever.
