There are very few people I’d do this for. But it seems I’m on the train to London to join a very long overnight queue with my dear old Mum.

Here comes a rolling thread about #TheQueue

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

It's hard to overstate what a scam academic and scientific publishing is. 1/

[Kate Jones @KateJones_teach]

There can be confusion about being “evidence-informed”. This diagram shows the importance of evidence from research alongside teacher expertise, experience & context - not dismissing it. I certainly embrace being an evidence-informed teacher & leader as do many others I know!

Why should footballers stay out of politics, but politicians not stay out of football?

[Andrew Rosindell MP 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @AndrewRosindell]

We are all proud of our England team, who have had the support of the whole country over recent weeks, but please focus of football, not politics. If you win for England, you win for everyone! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Here is my analysis

[Duncan Wright @dwright75]

You know that Big Six ESL Premier League fine - how about using that money to buy a defibrillator for every grassroots club, and to be housed at every grassroots playing field?

[Jonathan Ichikawa @jichikawa]

once I've read both of these I'll be unstoppable

[Laurie Harrison @laurieharrison]

🚀 Over the next 30 days, I'll be publishing atomic essays on learning and productivity, as part of #ship30for30

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

The weird impulse of UK news journalists to go maximum idiomatic when interviewing foreign guests makes blood come out of my ears. “Cusp”??? You twat. Translate cusp into ANY other language.

[Neil McMillan @neil_mcm]

This is hard to take and a great loss. But Mike Long's work and ideas will be with us for a very long time. I'm no expert, and I only knew Mike personally in the last two or three years, but here are just a few of the many key things he did.

Nick’s got the right idea.

Still doing dry January. But might take up crack

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Whatever Boris Johnson announces at 8, I can guarantee that Dry January will be over for millions by 8.05.

[Mitten d'Amour @MittenDAmour]

If you are suddenly facing Christmas alone, I have tips. I LOVE Christmas alone so get on board.

Food: What would you ideally like to eat if no-one could limit you or judge you? Nothing but pigs in blankets? Just cake? Pot Noodle? Get that! I’m having cheese and crackers.

Schrödinger’s trade negotiations, in which WTO terms are both good and bad. Good news about the soy sauce though 🤦‍♂️

[Department for Business and Trade @biztradegovuk]

To clarify: thanks to the UK-Japan trade deal, soya sauce will be cheaper than it otherwise would be under WTO terms, on which we would be trading with Japan from 1 Jan if we had not secured the UK-Japan trade deal.

[Tom Flaherty 🇪🇺 @tom_flaherty]

I can’t like this enough.
