BREAKING
Esther McVey’s husband Tory Philip Davis MP in Shipley caught betting against himself in his marginal seat

£8,000 bet on losing his 6,242 majority

He says it’s “nobody’s business”

Just vote both of them out and tell them if it’s our business or not

@RishiSunak 'woman' is a gender term. Gender is not the same as sex. It is very simple to understand if you don't choose to exploit it as an inflammatory issue to distract from your party's failures. #BBCDebate

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

Since 2010, austerity measures have caused the closure of 1400+ Sure Start Centres. There are approx. 400 family hubs now. This isn't a win for you, Sunak. #BBCDebate

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

Oh Starmer, the SASS I love it - glad calling out Sunak's detachment from reality got a clap #BBCDebate

@LawesDan "Toolmaker"! Take a swig #BBCDebate

@GazWeetman It's the only reason I've just logged into twitter to see if I'm imagining it / it is on the TV / some radgies are kicking off outside . Good to know! #bbcdebate

Inspired by Scarborough's reading rope, we (Newcastle Uni. DAppEdPsy Y1 cohort) came up with our own version for writing. Anything you'd add? #twittereps #educationalpsychology

[Ian Cushing @ian_cushing]

it is impossible to define ‘speaking fluently’ without it being racist, classist and ableist. this bullshit rhetoric simply maintains the burden on marginalised communities to modify their voice, rather than addressing the structures that maintain race and class inequalities.

@Tunde901 Thank you for sharing your experience and passion with us today, I took a lot away from the session and definitely felt inspired to learn more about supporting refugee children and families in practice. Thanks again!

Stephen Lawrence’s family bravely fought for justice despite police racism, corruption and media lies.

The Metropolitan Police Service was found guilty of institutional racism, 30 years on, nothing has changed. The Met Police remains institutionally racist.

@EllaWakefield_ Your LA's children in care council for local context. Also, NSPCC Learning's 2022 'LAC' resource and TACT (2019), "Language that cares: Changing the way professionals talk about Children in Care". (I've just written an essay partially on this topic & found these helpful!)

Dear Lee,

Nurses with families cannot live in single rooms.

Hope that helps.

Attending my first DECP TEP Conference today as a first-year trainee. First talk on whole-word visual alternatives to traditional systematic synthetic phonics was very informative, thanks @JoeEdPsych

@James_Forsyth1 @scottygb @jk_rowling It's not the concept of gender that does that, it's the people that exploit it and use it to perpetuate hate and violence. Well, don't be so offensive then.

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

@James_Forsyth1 @scottygb @jk_rowling The concept of gender itself isn't the 'source of women's oppression'. It's people, society, systems that oppress women. What are you even on about?! You probably don't know anyone who calls themselves 'cis' because I can't imagine a lot of women want to associate with you.

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

@mrssomerset @capilla_iris @James_Forsyth1 @scottygb @jk_rowling You do know these people commit these crimes regardless of what the sticker is on the door, right? It's pretty simple. It's not like having a cis-woman symbol on the door forms a forcefield around the changing area/bathroom, preventing all sex offenders from entering.

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

@James_Forsyth1 @scottygb @jk_rowling I don't know a single cis-woman who is 'terrified' of losing single-sex spaces. On the contrary, every cis-woman I've ever discussed this with would rather trans folk felt comfortable and safe in public spaces. What qualifies you to claim what cis-women think, exactly?

[Laura Baker @laurabaker92]

@jk_rowling You may need to educate yourself a bit more on the distinction between biological sex and assigned gender. Just a suggestion.
