To quote @goodlawproject.org we need to take personal responsibility in keeping the far right out of the Scottish parliament. Trump’s little puppet Farage wants to do to us what MAGA is doing to the USA. It can be so simple. We just need a good turn out in May. Make sure you’re registered to vote
People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness.
Good turn out almost always beats them. Register to vote. Why wait? Do it today

For years from #edutwitter to now, many of us in education have known & talked about this as one of the reasons we are uncomfortable with & dislike Walliams books. Also that they're the equivalent of junk food in written form. Hopefully they'll now disappear from display & shops #EduSky #UKKidLit
Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.
Exclusive: David Walliams dropped by publisher over inappropriate behaviour towards women
