If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament.
Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

Anyone who says this isn't a Nazi Salute is either seriously deluded, a liar, or a fascist.
If it looks like a nazi, talks like a nazi, salutes like a nazi, attacks minorities like a nazi, scorns democracy like a nazi, then it's probably a nazi...
We must never compromise with fascism.

This is an a powerful and emotional true-story about an escape from a convoy to Auschwitz. It’s masterfully told and by equal measure shows the fear but also the hope in the darkest of times. Perfect for UKS2 #PicturebookPage

How about child ready schools?
And as for this target? Are you going to pump money in to support for families? It seems not!

The child who is not embraced by their village will burn it down to find some warmth. (African proverb). Low/zero tolerance punitive and toxic power cultures create disenfranchised adults. Some will struggle quietly, others will struggle anti-socially. So the ‘keeping everyone safe’ is superficial.

To be clear - the Mossbourne culture is not confined to just this school. The last goverbment encouraged and supported this kind of institutionalised bullying of children. The rest of us were called “the blob”

Thinking about the early years environment, promoting children’s interests through carefully planned continuous provision extends children’s learning and provides opportunities for children’s hands, bodies and brains to be continually active (Zosh et al., 2017, Bradbury & Swailes, 2024).#PlayMatters
