📚 'Disadvantaged' isn’t a label. It’s about real needs and real actions. Leaders from East London Research School argue for a shared working definition of disadvantage and for turning classroom insight into equitable teaching for all. Explore the full blog: tinyurl.com/mmumc5fy #EduSky

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

They shld just be treated like vans, subject to lower speed limits, higher parking charges. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
