In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

This is a rivalry that could shape the future of the GOP, and possibly the entire world.

Let’s hope both fail, but if one must win, Rubio is infinitely better than Vance
1/7 What the Vance-Rubio rivalry is really about.

It’s not just ideology. It’s a fight for Trump’s throne after he’s gone.

The last few days made that clearer than ever 🧵

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s.

Today’s figures show not much has changed.
The North-South divide is as wide as ever
Ninety years after Orwell exposed northern hardship, new data shows deprivation remains stark across England’s North

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Another day, another Labour attack on disabled people. The scheme is devolved in Scotland, the tax exemptions which Reeves is proposing to axe are not, but Scot Gov has not been consulted. Anything to avoid raising taxes on the wealthiest, eh?
