Great that our new book, The Working Classroom, inspired a phone in on James O’Brien’s show on @LBC. Thanks @mrjamesob and our publisher @CrownHousePub

If you want Baroness Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords and to repay the £136,000,000 owed to taxpayers, please RT!

Farage is a cancer on our country. He must never be allowed to govern, ever.

The gravy train continues.

Failed former CEO of Ofwat, David Black has reappeared at a consultancy company called BRG where he will "Advise firms and investors across regulated industries as they navigate shifting regulatory frameworks".

His boss? No less than former head of regulation at Thames Water one Colm Gibson.

As @PrivateEyeNews would say "Trebles all round". Well actually that's exactly what they did say. 👇👇👇

46 persons of interest and 7 suspects.
The first should be in hundreds and the second, dozens, at least.
Turn off the funding tap to the PO for "defence" fees & PR companies. Divert it to the police for Operation Olympos.
Do it NOW!

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

So in one night we’ve seen a player getting booked for a foul in the penalty area without conceding a penalty and another player charging into Djed Spence using his elbow, breaking his jaw, without being sent off.

Just your average officiating in a game against Spurs.

Completely normal stuff.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.

Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:

-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K

And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

A like-for-like school comparison is sensible but why wasn’t this done from the start of this new framework. There will be many schools inspected whose context has arguably not been fully considered & reflected in grading outcomes…

@We_OwnIt Into public ownership with people like Sir Alan Bates, Seema Misra and Jo Hamilton on the executive board.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

MPs are blaming regulator OfCom for the disaster at Royal Mail.

This is a red herring. Ofcom can’t fix Royal Mail.

To fix Royal Mail, let’s take it into public ownership and run it in the interest of households, not the profits of a Czech Billionaire.

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

This is Eleanor El Shaikh. She has tirelessly and Pro Bono worked for those who have suffered at the hands of those at the Post Office who instigated the appalling scandal resulting in the false imprisonment and huge suffering of innocent Sub Postmasters.
We salute you Eleanor and support your efforts to get to the bottom of 'Project Brisbane' which is likely to result in Investigations, Arrests, Prosecutions, Convictions and Prison Sentences.
