If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament. Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

Anyone who says this isn't a Nazi Salute is either seriously deluded, a liar, or a fascist. If it looks like a nazi, talks like a nazi, salutes like a nazi, attacks minorities like a nazi, scorns democracy like a nazi, then it's probably a nazi... We must never compromise with fascism.

“One Day” by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social and #BenjaminPhillips This is an a powerful and emotional true-story about an escape from a convoy to Auschwitz. It’s masterfully told and by equal measure shows the fear but also the hope in the darkest of times. Perfect for UKS2 #PicturebookPage

Gaza’s death toll exceeds 186,000 (The Lancet), Israel’s PM faces an ICC arrest warrant & Israel is on trial for genocide at the ICJ. Yet the UK government continues selling arms. Proud to join Palestine Solidarity Campaign & StW in Coventry & demand a full arms embargo & sanctions on Israel.

Many have suspected the 'no excuses' strategies promoted and used in some secondaries were in danger of stepping over the mark. If after a proper investigation the allegations in this article prove to be true, let's hope it is the beginning of the end for them. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The child who is not embraced by their village will burn it down to find some warmth. (African proverb). Low/zero tolerance punitive and toxic power cultures create disenfranchised adults. Some will struggle quietly, others will struggle anti-socially. So the ‘keeping everyone safe’ is superficial.

To be clear - the Mossbourne culture is not confined to just this school. The last goverbment encouraged and supported this kind of institutionalised bullying of children. The rest of us were called “the blob” www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Thinking about the early years environment, promoting children’s interests through carefully planned continuous provision extends children’s learning and provides opportunities for children’s hands, bodies and brains to be continually active (Zosh et al., 2017, Bradbury & Swailes, 2024).#PlayMatters

This is not a farmers tax. This is not a tractor tax. This is a tax on estates worth over £2,000,000 paying 20% on that asset (only over 2mil). There is a reason Jeremy Clarkson called his farm diddly squatt. It's the tax he intends to pay.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
