Insights from A-levels: Maths has 115k entries & Eng Lit just 36k.

20 yrs ago they both had about 50k.

At the risk of sounding like Claude, this isn't just educational change - it's cultural change.

A generation of kids will be far more familiar with quadratics & conditional probability than Mr Rochester & Ophelia.

Bayes is destroying Defoe...

This from @Geoffrey_Cox was titanic - a truly beautiful speech.

He outshone those sat opposite. They could only watch. And nervously laugh.

This should be seen by every new MP to understand what they do, & every new barrister to understand what we do.

It is with deep sadness and the heaviest of hearts that West Ham United announces the passing this morning of legendary player, coach and manager, Billy Bonds MBE.

Rest in peace Billy, our courageous, inspirational, lion-hearted leader.

Is there a more underrated T20 player than Saif Zaib?

Averages 30 and has a strike rate of 148 since 2022 as a left hander batting 4/5

V seam: Ave 22 SR 151
V spin: Ave 52 SR 145

Also bowls left arm spin & is a quality fielder. Baffles me he doesn’t get picked in major leagues

If any politicians care to read this then, please listen, I am a former Man Utd player and have a teammate Lou Macari, doing great work with the homeless, He will not ask but I am, give him something for his services, He is a top man who cares.

The first draft of A Mathematics Manifesto is now live.

This is a call for action to improve mathematics education - moving it beyond the basic number skills needed for everyday life and economic utility and reclaiming the mathematics curriculum for mathematics itself.

By defending mathematics as an intellectual pursuit, we restore its rightful place in education: not as a means to an end but as a discipline that transforms minds and grows thinkers who can tackle the most profound challenges of our time. Mathematics is not just for the marketplace – it is for the human mind.
