Sarah is watching the BBC series "King And Conqueror" about Harold Godwinson and the Battle of Hastings. I love the way that every episode, James Norton has a comic plotline where he is in danger of hurting his eye in some way, as a foreshadowing of his final ocular assault. It's like Chekhov's Eye.

My C&A review: there’s a really big one in Berlin at Alexanderplatz, while it’s a shame they disappeared from the British High Street, I don’t rate the quality of their trousers
The long awaited C & A review is here!
For maths, there seems to be a focus on securing fundamentals, with a new diagnostic assessment in Y8 and a new post-16 qualification for those who struggled with GCSE being the highlights.
My blog detailing the impact on secondary maths will be out soon.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'
We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.
Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.
Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

Striking to hear a senior Government minister in Wes Streeting clearly condemning Sarah Pochin's racism and the wider spread of racism across the UK, while defending the contribution of migrants to our country. Feels like a long time since we've heard a government minister speak like that

Saw the article asserting most Trek fans were Republican dudes and it was written by the same dude who a 13 years ago trashed Redshirts (which went on to be a NYT bestseller and win several awards, including the Hugo), so it's safe to say his track record with Trek-aligned material is dodgy at best
