This story is the wrong way round IMO. The issue isn't the rise in the use of internal exclusions, but the rise in problematic behaviour necessitating their use. Of course lower income demographics & SEN are more affected - they correlate with behavioural issues. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

This piece by @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social is one of the most insightful articles I've read on the complexities of being a Smiths fan in the 21st century. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Bigmouth strums again: was Andy Burnham’s Smiths jam in Kyiv the perfect soundtrack to a Britain in freefall?
The UK prime minister clearly still adores the band. Perhaps he’s attracted to songs about sham justice and murderous meat factories, shot through with nihilism and exquisite despair

Seems everyone has a cherished Dolly story. I remember seeing her play live and being blown away by that incredible voice, her multi-instrumental prowess (with those nails!) and how she had the audience in stitches with her funny anecdotes. Managed to be charming without being hokey. A true icon 💝

#Spain #racism "In an op-ed published after Spain qualified for the World Cup semifinals, Mariano Rajoy, former leader of the right-wing People's Party, said there were 'no French' in France's squad." The Spanish PM's reaction has just dropped:
@sanchezcastejon

Translated from Spanish

There are those who still measure belonging by surname, place of birth, or skin color.

Others measure it by our roots in a country and our will to contribute to it. Playing soccer. Caring for our elders. Or opening businesses.

Spain belongs to those who love it and work for it. Not to those who shame it with xenophobic statements.

France, we'll see you in the semifinals. May the best one win and may racism lose.

This one made me properly well up. I know and have known so many wonderful teenagers - they often get stereotyped as selfish and clueless, but there are so many examples of them being the absolute opposite. Here's another one. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The kindness of strangers: My son was unconscious and I frantically called out for help – then five teenagers came running
One immediately called an ambulance, another went looking for my younger son. And I still remember the small face of the girl who held her arm around me
