Balancing being half good at being a dad and husband, half good at work, and having some semblance of a life is difficult... Whenever I feel I'm making progress with one, I realise I've dropped the ball with the other two...
On what planet did Oxford deliberately allow intimidating and disruptive student protests to go ahead during a lecture??!! This behaviour should be punished not condoned.
💰 Since the VAT raid was announced, we've always said that it is those scrimp and save who are most likely to be impacted - the millionaires so many on the left want to target will just suck up the costs.
Now our analysis of 1,100 schools shows this has indeed played out. Schools with the cheapest fees have seen dramatic drops in entry, particularly at younger years.

🚨 The London Underground is now totally free to use! Incredible. I just watched a man push through the barriers in front of Transport for London employee. He didn’t do a thing. I asked why? He told me it is now formal @TfL policy that staff cannot ask fare dodgers to pay. What an utter piss take.

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

@CharlesHThyme 100% I quality assure a group of summer camps that rents schools for the camps. In Kent, u can spend the morning in an academy, which is run down and awful, then go ten minutes up the road to Grammar, with private school facilities.
@CharlieCrane@ShakinthatChalk Very little swimming, is developed in private school lessons. Most top swimmers see school swimming as a chance to have a laugh with mates.
@ShakinthatChalk I work in a private school, as does my wife. Both our school share facilities with the local schools. Majority of swimming happens in external swim clubs.
