The fight has changed, but the cause remains. Against a post-truth society. #FBPE

@NicholasTyrone Can we see how people feel about Burnham in about 6 months time because that will indicate whether we had a Starmer problem or a media problem.

[shelley @zoemum]

@campbellclaret @aunty_shirley @RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics Starmer is the first Labour PM since the arrival of ubiquitous internet/ social media/ smart phones circa 2012/3.
The non right wing need to have a plan to combat this. It’s doubtful anyone will seem better than Starmer while people can be convinced he’s a fascist dictator.

@dailybritainonx Reform wanted Burnham to win sooo badly!!

I think sometime in the next year we’re going to find out why.

@BladeoftheS @Peterhahahart We got rid of the monarchy and were briefly a commonwealth in the 1650s.

However, Cromwell was a bore who ruined Christmas so we decide the bloke in ermine was more fun.

@ICONOCLASTIAE The number of times I am saying evil things about men and I have to "hashtag not all men" to my lovely husband!

@DayalSami @Cmacg3 I don’t mind rich people. But anything over 1000 million (1 billion) is a bit silly really!! 1400 billion is overconsumption on an obscene scale!

@BarbaraBleiman The scale of his destruction is horrific! In addition he took what the most able kids were able to do and then made it the "standard". Massive anxiety followed. He removed alternative options to GCSEs. Higher rates of NEETS.

@MrDanielBuck The novel 'the Anxious Generation' charts the rise of phone-related mental-health issues in teenage girls at the 2012-2013 period. Smartphones and unlimited internet became standard with significant consequences.

@maya_sen In the U.K. you can only apply to Oxford or Cambridge (5 universities overall). Teachers need to support your application. This is why some course at Oxbridge have a 40% success rate.

@Becksjane26 I’m not letting my children make bad decisions but I’ll happily let them make decisions I wouldn’t choose to.

@LondonEconomic He needs to keep his Apartheid trained mind away from us.

[shelley @zoemum]

@JAYCTII Did you mean England because Edinburgh is in the UK.

[shelley @zoemum]

@NYCMayor @nyctourism My brain: this is slick, manipulative PR.
My heart: Love this man! *eats with a spoon*

@TTRadioOfficial Prepping students for GCSEs and A a levels is a lot of extra work around Easter so it all Comes good in the wash.

[shelley @zoemum]

@adamboxer1 From my point of view: Gove made school a bit too hard for everyone and parents either need to help their kids or watch them fall behind. Both of which give you an opinion on the matter.

@Codie_Sanchez Spend what you can afford! Don't go into debt for it but I have never regretted spending money on my wedding. 21 years later it was one of the happiest days of my love.

@robprogressive I've always thought it would be better if you could pay back your student loan on your pre-tax income. It's seems fairer.

[shelley @zoemum]

@anon_opin Nah Gen X parents are great: I do care that you're sad but you still have to do it anyway.

[shelley @zoemum]

@chicagotechmom Well historically female teachers needed to give up work/ be fired once they were married but ok.

[shelley @zoemum]

@TypeForVictory Top 5 is too harsh (I'd say top 20). English Literature is a fantastic degree that teaches rigorous critical thinking skills. It actually has quite solid career progression and is respected. There are many degrees that achieve far less.
