The BBC normalising yet another grifting, lying, race baiter is the story here. Why are we paying for this?
Konstantin Kisin straight up lying on #bbcqt

Douglas Alexander: “When Fraser Nelson put it to you that Rishi Sunak is absolutely english… you said “he’s a brown Hindu, how is he english?”

Kisin: “No, that’s not what I said...”

I mean, Konstatin Kisin holds no public office, he is responsible for absolutely nothing. All he does is lie and race bait for clicks and cash. There is absolutely no justification for using the licence fee to give him air.

Nigel Farage wants all police officers to routinely carry guns.

The shooting of innocent civilians by masked government agents in Minneapolis is the worst of Trump’s America.

We cannot let it become Farage’s Britain.

I totally get the concerns about what students who are suspended do during that time, but schools don’t have capacity for this. If ministers are worried, why not provide resources for suspended students to be supervised out of school, not put more burden on leaders? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Do not always send suspended students home, government tells schools
Changes to England's school system say on-site suspensions should be used for non-violent behaviour.

Liam Rosenior is very impressive.

Still reckon he’ll get no more than 12 months.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Labour - best placed to defeat this racist fraud in Gorton & Denton - should go all in on Goodwin's Trump worship. The government cannot do it but the party and its candidate can. Time to be gloves off relentless and ruthless.
NEW: Former academic Matt Goodwin has been announced as Reform UK's candidate for the Gorton & Denton byelection.

Suella Braverman tomorrow, Matt Goodwin as candidate today. Obvious that an astute Conservative leader would go 'this is a politics with no place in our party', not hurl insults about the mental health of the defectors:
Tories should be glad Suella Braverman has gone to Reform
But Kemi Badenoch refuses opportunity to argue that Reform opposes many of her party’s finest achievements

The outcome might well be an exceptional curriculum but in practice, will it be deliverable in all contexts? Where are the actual practicing teachers? Where are the voices of successful practitioners in deprived areas? Strikes me as an easy option has been taken which is a shame.
