In this article, every single Pupil Progress meeting I ever sat in is perfectly described, even down to the ‘ingenious SLT solutions’ line which made me guffaw.

A Prime Minister seeking to fix this country's pressing problems and the broken politics and stagnant consensus that underpins so much of it... A PM promising real improvements rather than unicorns sunlit uplands and an agenda of hate... Who knows? This could be catching.

I’m glad he didn’t let her push him off track. Younger adults have grown up with Brexit, Covid & fear of war & climate change They need hope, they need the system to care about them & policies need to provide a better future I hope he can do it - for their sake but for us all

New rufty tufty boy in Year 1, left his lunchbox behind, so I take his hand to find it. Then his new pal runs out with it smiling, gives it to him and he bursts into tears and is so happy he fist-bumps his pal and it is too much for me so I've come to the office for a sit down.

"Chants of 'let them drown' sung by a child over a megaphone" surely must be the moment this UK Government realises that no form of appeasement or persuasion is going to solve this problem. Ban the platforms spreading the lies, proscribe the groups terrorising the country. Act now, for pity's sake.

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.

According to Ai you encourage talking. Seriously, this needs to be a genuine conversation. I am seeing school leaders bombarded with complaints that are so long they are exhausted. We need a national reset on this. Condense the complaint to 500 words or less so we can actually deal with it.

I do not need bigots speaking up for me. As a 61 year old woman I can speak for myself. I am seriously pissed off that this is even being discussed. Stop the pseudo Christianity crap and call it out. It is racist ideology designed to keep the power base where it's always been, with thick white men.

Farage would rather stoke the prospect of civil unrest than reckon with Reform’s own conduct and quietly disappear from public life. When accountability comes knocking, the grifter reaches for a match. What. A. Twat.
Screenshot of a Twitter post from an account labelled “Nigel Farage”. The post says: “For six years now, Labour and the Tories have facilitated an invasion of our country. We are on the edge of serious civil unrest. The only solution is the ballot box. Only Reform will end the invasion.” Below is a video still showing a man in a dark suit speaking against a blue background, with the word “WARNED” across his chest.
