Chilled monkey brains

One of my favourite quotes about journalism is, "If a newspaper headline is a question, then the answer is always 'no'. Unless the headline is in the Guardian/Observer, in which case the answer will be 'who cares?'" This is the greatest example I've seen for some time.

I'm also quite fond of the slightly shabby kings head in borough. Thus sign on a cubicle door last week made me laugh out loud

"Bridget Phillipson's emerging vision marks an end to competition as the primary driver of school improvement"

My latest piece for Schools Week is on the Children's Wellbeing Bill

"I am convinced Santa, or Father Christmas, will visit you whatever your political persuasion. As long as you've been good."

- me in @inews.co.uk, talking about whether you're a Santa family or a Father Christmas family.

Perhaps the best quote I've ever given.

Delighted to see my little piece for Progressive Britain on the divergent philosophies that underpin Labour's different reform agenda being picked up by @politico.com's London Influencer newsletter.

Went to see the incredible Paul Weller this evening. My mate pointed out that no one was videoing it.
