Irish. History & Politics teacher for almost 25yrs. West Midlands based. NPQSL. Leinster & Irish rugby fan. WB Yeats. Discworld too.
My god, this is a nightmare. Who is your MP? I’m sure you’ve been in touch. Tag them on social media as much as you can if not.

If the fascist worst can run again, so can Obama. Assuming they plan on having elections again. At this rate I’m not even sure the midterms will happen.

Part of me misses the Irish curriculum. Government set one curriculum but it covered 10,000 years. Literally Palaeolithic to 1960’s (more recent I assume now). Irish and world history. Thin on depth but glorious in breadth. Studied by all.

Certainly KS3. More limited at KS4 and KS5 is just odd. Millions of combinations per exam board but mainly dull and pedestrian topics.

Particularly given the tiny number of votes required compared to fptp. Landslides are virtually impossible.
