“in the push to ‘drive up standards’ the education system is becomes less, not more, suited to how children develop and learn…the system is penalising immaturity – and children are inherently immature. That isn’t a lack or a defect, it’s a defining part of childhood.”
More than one million people are now internally displaced in #Lebanon.
@Refugees representative in the country @IFreijsen shares what he has witnessed:
#Lebanon
"16 attacks on health care have been recorded leaving behind 65 deaths and 40 injuries among health staff." - @WHO
"We are seeing the same patterns that we saw in Gaza, the same methods of warfare and, as a result, civilians pay the ultimate price." - @UNHumanRights
“In a rational world, advocating a heartfelt alliance with a state engaged in such murderous mayhem would leave you driven from public life in disgrace; here it is the mainstream respectable position, with those dissenting demonised as hateful extremists”

Privatisation is broader than this- if a public healthcare system has external orgs owning/ running services, this is privatisation 🚨
..
So Huw Edwards gets a suspended sentence for buying and making pornographic images of children, while peaceful environmental defenders seeking to prevent social catastrophe get 3, 4 and 5 years. Some justice, this.
This tells you everything about Keir Starmer - and what he represents - that you need to know.
Even before he became PM, he'd accepted more gifts, freebies and junkets than every Labour leader since 1997 put together.
