@SusanCalman @R4tser Faith is adorable. This is Jessie #CatsOfTwitter

@StuartHumphryes Love the fact they are finding it funny being photographed doing this.

📈 3,008 more teachers in secondaries & special schools
📈1,646 more teachers in colleges
📈Trainee teachers up 13%
📈 Teacher pay up 9.5%
📈 Record investment in schools

If standing up for state schools makes me a spiteful class warrior, I’ll wear it with pride.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.

It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.

I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Unalloyed good news is so rare, these days, that it's important to savour, when it comes along. This is an unambiguous triumph of science and public policy over ignorance.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Putting aside this case, everybody should read this report by @nickwallis.

The appalling, chaotic conditions he describes are all too familiar in the magistrates’ courts.

This is how @DavidLammy wishes for serious crimes - carrying up to 2 years in prison - to be tried.

@samueljenkinson One of the boys in my class in school when we were about 10 in the 80s said that his dad had Airwolf in his garage. As we lived in the Welsh valleys I found this highly improbable.

@gjmarklew Oh that put the wind right up her.

@LeeJarvis10 This looks lush

@DumTeeDum Jesus Christ, take the test, don’t take the test, just blinking stop moaning about it. #TheArchers

[Mark Owen @MarkOwen5]

I am still amazed that no one has any sort of conscience about Ruairi nearly killing George. Imagine Alice’s reaction when she finds out Iain has known for weeks - and Lillian! And why Adam hasn’t even thought to use this against Brian I don’t know. #TheArchers

[Inspector Gadget @InspGadgetBlogs]

Sam Corner - hard left
Ant Middleton - far right

Both men have convictions for assaulting policewomen.

Rob Kenyon (Reform UK) describes Ant Middleton as one of his heroes

Zack Polanski (Green) describes Samuel Corners' sentence as gut-wrenching

Two cheeks of the same arse

[Mark Owen @MarkOwen5]

@red_mutant_eyes Absolutely 100% correct.

@AubsCottam @ScarredForLife2 Oh please don’t, real nightmare fuel. Threads.

[Mark Owen @MarkOwen5]

@Joe___Allen But true. 27 years in and it’s like a simulation of actual politics and political power. What powers do they have and do they use them? What bold direction has Wales set? If you merely look as if you are doing something as opposed to actually doing something then it’s pointless.

“Daddy, my daddy!”
Jenny Agutter’s cry at the station is unforgettable to anyone who knows the 1970 British masterpiece (I don’t use that word lightly): The Railway Children directed by Lionel Jefferies. It’s his centenary and 29 years ago I talked to him. https://t.co/STs9SZFXdC

@TheCiderShedPod They all seem quite unnaturally obsessed with women’s T20.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Made it out of Ireland with 2 samples of Aughinish alumina powder to get tested.

It’s from two sources: at the refinery and from a worker who doesn’t want to be identified. He told me the biggest threat to his job is russian ownership and he wants it exposed & nationalised
