@CMParrish1 Yes, time to challenge this assumption that if you buy your education it is necessarily going to be better. It undermines state schools- you would think a politician may have thought this through…..
Sunak "For the first time in UK history pensioners will pay tax". Is very inaccurate phrasing. Pensioners do pay tax just like everyone else. What he's talking about is paying tax if you get the full State Pension and have no other income. #ITVdebate
@RestIsPolitics The inability to answer a question directly is infuriating. A format that allows ‘talking over’ someone and constant repetition is very disappointing. Also, please can someone challenge the assumption that aspiring to and buying a private education means it will be ‘better’?
@jonsopel@BBCr4today Appalling from Badenoch. Impatient and dismissive when asked about Truss doing a podcast with a far right influencer who discussed raping Jess Phillips. Badenoch is Women and Equalities Minister. Telling the audience this was “not serious”.
How utterly disgraceful.
@jonsopel@BBCr4today Initially, I actually thought I must have misheard the ‘trivial’ comment re: Jess Phillips. I hope Ms Badenoch is now reflecting seriously on how her interview may have been perceived by many of us listening to it.
Extraordinary interview on @BBCr4today with Kemi Badenoch. She’s getting increasingly tetchy by being asked technical detail about her gender recognition proposals - which don’t seem thought through at all. Totally see why she’s not being used much for media appearances 😱
#Newsnight ends tonight’s programme with a tribute to DJ Steve Wright – described by his close friend Ken Bruce as a “brilliant broadcaster” who “respected his listeners and believed they deserved nothing less”.
DJ Steve Wright, who presented programmes for BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 for more than four decades, has died aged 69, his family says https://t.co/d9aKQgY8f4
@RoryStewartUK Enjoyed this very much. An insight into the challenges faced by a cabinet minister working with good intent, but thwarted by the vagaries of govt and those ‘political personalities’ that seem to lack basic understanding of geopolitics and serve to obstruct real progress.
Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan".
I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support.
I do not support the "Rwanda plan".
If you don't either, please retweet.
We're delighted to have received funding from the wonderful BNA Charity to fund Scholarships for exceptional young students from Newark (Notts, not NJ) and Lincoln. Roll on 2024 👏🏼👏🏼
Robert Jenrick, "We have won on the most important question of all"
Victoria Derbyshire, "That is incredible spin. You have not won. You lost, all five justices ruled it was unlawful because it was not safe to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. That is a demolition of your Rwanda policy"
Robert Jenrick, "No, I mean, Victoria, that is not a correct reading of what happened"
We're in the middle of thanking our donors for supporting 250+ Scholarships this year, and thought we'd share some of the fantastic write-ups our Scholarship winners got from their Heads of Year #socialmobility#HigherEducation#edutwitter 🧑🏿🎓👨🎓👩🏽🎓👏
If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight
Please take just two seconds to show you care
Want to know what impact our Scholarships have on those that win them? Thought so.... 😀
