Truly extraordinary proposals from @BrightonHoveCC based on some very shaky pseudo-academic evidence. Surely no-one wants a return to council-led social engineering by busing? Maybe improving the weak schools would be a better strategy...

Imagine being a Member of Parliament and blithely explaining you did something because of “folk” awaiting trial on rape and human trafficking charges

Key chart to keep in mind as the Conservatives suffer their worst ever defeat:

The Tories didn’t lose this election because they were too right wing on some issues or too left wing on others.

They lost because voters of all stripes judged them to be incompetent and dishonest.

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.

I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

The middle number is the year, the petals represent the 12 months of the year and the dots inside those represent the number of weeks. This one was made in April 2021 and is more than 2 yrs old and should be replaced.

This really is a huge story - should be front page of every newspaper tomorrow:

Nearly all schools - already severely financially stretched - will lose thousands, many tens of thousands and some over £100k from their expected budgets next year *because DfE added them up wrong*

the UK government is planning to eliminate import tariffs on palm oil from Malaysia, a product blamed for widespread deforestation, as the price of joining an Asia-Pacific trade deal, prompting outrage from green campaigners

Interesting fact? @SuellaBraverman spoke fluent French to her counterparts in Paris today. She studied at the Sorbonne and took part in the Erasmus programme - a route no longer available to Brit students since Brexit. Incidentally, her perm sec @MatthewRycroft1 is also fluent

BREAKING: Jon Stewart just completely destroyed Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma on gun reform in America. Each and every point that Dahm tried to address was completely debunked by Stewart. Stewart made Dahm look as foolish as he and his republican colleagues really are.

My favorite quote was: “In every other place your life you want to bring order, but guns are the outlier for you.”

Let all your republican friends see this video! https://t.co/qOlU187LHx

NHS: “Overuse of antibiotics means they're becoming less effective and has led to emergence of superbugs"

Mayo Clinic: “MRSA [which killed 100k in 2019] is the result of decades of often unnecessary antibiotic use”

British government: let’s make it easier to overuse antibiotics
