Rishi Sunak wants all pupils to study maths to 18. This is inessential for the vast majority of pupils. Instead, it would be much more beneficial to pupils if critical thinking and financial literacy were part of the core curriculum until 18.

@STILLTish @LesleySemmens ‘We provide opportunities for young people ages 13-25 and their peers to meet’

Why is the allowed? This is a basic safeguarding failure.

@MrEdPartridge @KathyBurke SO true 1000 times this!! They’ve run our education system into the ground (why I left teaching) also applies to how they examine and test English. Philip Pullman was spot on about this in interview with Mary beard as well as their defunding of libraries and public services.

@KathyBurke I’d rather they taught financial life skills …
Understanding your tax code
Understanding how much tax you pay
What APR means with regards to loans

Basic stuff which we currently have to discover ourselves.

Been about five years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

I never thought I'd live to see the day that "proceeds will go to a sexual violence service for women" would be given as a reason to not buy something

"That's incredible"

The reaction of @andy_murray when he hears from our guest editor Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe that she was able to watch his 2016 Wimbledon win while in solitary confinement after she was allowed access to a sports channel.

@DreyfusJames I’d take this as an absolute blessing as well as a ringing endorsement into your own comparative fabulousness x

NO!!!! @studiolambert Don’t ruin it! The whole reason we loved it is because the contestants were unknown to each other and US.
Flipping celeb this and celeb that. Fuck. Off.
Oh, and happy Christmas and thanks for a great show.

@ReeceShearsmith Absolutely outstanding. As ever. I’m wondering if “don’t look now” was an influence at all plot wise in terms of the red coat and masterful piecing together of the key warnings and plot elements? And the teetering on fragile scaffolding etc ?! 🫣

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT.

Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment.

Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.
