Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

The absolute vitriol I have seen on this platform over the past few days about Jason Arday reminded me of X. I don't know what's true and what's not. I do know he was autistic and that means it is totally feasible that he ran with a broken leg. That's almost as stereotypical as ear defenders.

Now call me a cynic, but Cambridge have recently been given a ton of money for Autism research and SBC knows, from past experience, that the autistic community won't engage with him due to his deficit model. So now, all of a sudden, he's apparently neuroaffirmative....

It really annoys me that so much of any kind of provision for SEND children in the summer holidays is HAF only.

Emma T @emthinks.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
No it isn't. A base in a mainstream is not the same as a special school. Mainstreams have neither the correct skills, infrastructure or ethos for this. Placing in kids in a separate room does not foster a sense of belonging in same way being a part of school does.

Change the National Curriculum as that is a major cause of the SEND crisis along with High Control behaviour strategies. Invest in LA special schools to reduce the reliance on specialist independents. Reducing legal rights is just punishing SEND children and their families.

SEND parents definitely do not regard the reforms as miracles and I sincerely hope this is the end of them. The current proposals will increase both the mental health crisis and the number of NEETs.

So finally we know what “Brexit benefit” actually means.. A £5million payment to Farage. Our country is now deeply divided, poorer, unhappier, less influential, less secure, less welcoming and less democratic… But Farage is a multimillionaire. What a fucking disgrace.

It's a very scary prospect. My kids will only be 12 and 9 in 2029 and god knows what she would do to their education. One of them is in specialist. I'd probably have to home school if that is even still allowed.

Services currently available to people in #Gaza fall far short of what is needed, largely due to the destruction of the health system and restrictions imposed by Israel. Now more than ever, Palestinians need more services, not less. Providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza is vital.
