Thrilled to be at #LPC26 with brilliant @communityunion.bsky.social Andy Burnham’s speech brought a tear to the eye. Inspiring and honest. Hope again. National Care Service could change so many lives

12% of teachers leave teaching each year. I’m sure my teacher mates, and ex-teacher mates, can understand. #CommunityUnion is launching a new campaign about teacher retention. Please share. youtu.be/7_xPr8pd2Fo?...

Imagine what we could achieve as a species with the scientific knowledge to be gained by getting the huge internet cow, the Russian absolute unit, and Gary Barlow's massive son together in the same place. The physics would be absolutely fucked, gang.

This is fascinating and terrifying. To all those who would weaken the UK NHS, and all those who want to buy in so they can make a profit, this is the real truth if what they are up to.
