🚀 'Our shortfalls cannot be filled by just focusing on new graduates. We must develop different routes into teaching'

The President of the United States explicitly stating what was previously only implicitly understood; America's negotiating tactic is to allow Russia to kill more Ukrainian civilians in an attempt to force Kyiv to come to (unfavourable) terms with Moscow.
[Journalist] "Do you, Mr. President, think that Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of the U.S. pause right now on intelligence and military aid to Ukraine?"
President Trump: "I actually think he's doing what anybody else would do. I think he's, I think he wants to get it stopped and settled, and I think he's hitting them harder than he's been hitting them. And I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now."
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity. The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia. This is a terrorist threat to the entire world.
The shelter at the Chornobyl NPP was damaged by this drone. The fire has been extinguished. As of now, radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored. According to initial assessments, the damage to the shelter is significant.
Every night, Russia carries out such attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities. Russia continues to expand its army and shows no change in its deranged, anti-human state rhetoric. This means that Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations — he is preparing to continue deceiving the world. That is why there must be unified pressure from all who value life – pressure on the aggressor. Russia must be held accountable for its actions.

@SW_Help@FraserSmedley Thanks - this was my situation too. Appreciate it. If it could be added to the National Rail alert too that would be great so more people can see this.
It appears the MoJ are, in effect, closing down @unlockedgrads. This is a catastrophically bad decision, shutting down a top graduate employment route that gets 40 applicants per place dedicated to serving some of the most vulnerable in society.

Fantastic qualitative political research at scale in a Tory safe seat.
Not surprising to see the traditional 'all politicians are the same/corrupt/in it for themselves' but esp chafes when seeing it in relation to past five years of Tory government and Labour.
New immersive research from Public First
A fortnight before the election itself, with polls predicting that even the safest Tory seats might flip to Labour, PF wanted to understand whether cold polling numbers were telling the whole story
But how to do it? And where? (1/10)
