His job is to publicise the Green Party above its punching weight. He seems to succeed in that. Politics are secondary to rhetoric, similarly to Reform UK Ltd and the other inconsequential parties.

When I first started teaching Inspectors where employed by the council and, I think, just walked into a school. Heads rang them when there was a problem or schools needed advice! It was not a them against us situation! It worked on mutual trust and co-operation for the benefit of the whole school.

Are you going to say anything to Tom Watson about his association with Palantir @labouruk.bsky.social ? (And you’re not even much on here because you prefer the fascist site) Perhaps you won’t say anything because Palantir is already embroiled with so much of our infrastructure/the Labour Party.

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the South African jurist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay.
The South African jurist “is one of the great defenders of international legal principles in our time,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee chair said.
