All the Heads I know are on their knees, seeing children presenting with more complex needs than ever before, extreme behaviour and limited funding.
The majority of this is in EYFS and Year 1. So instead of announcing something to help this, we'll raise a target to add pressure.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Yvette Cooper once stood at protests to protect refugees and child refugees. As Home Secretary today she has chosen to suspend families joining asylum seekers via any legal route.

I think the problem with this latest document from the @departmentforedu.bsky.social is that there aren’t many people who appear to have ‘advised’ that have taught a child under 7. 🙄

🧵 I've been thinking a lot about what worries me about the DfE's writing framework. A really key issue for me is how static children are already tending to become in Reception due to the demands around phonics (teachers tell me about 45 minutes to an hour on the carpet, just for phonics). ⬇️

Where is the moral panic?
Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer?
Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine
But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”?
At least try to be consistent.

Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and Yvette Cooper knows this

Today, I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to #PAYUP.
Billionaire wealth has increased 1000% since the 1990s. There is no excuse to plunge thousands into poverty through cuts and underfunding.
The money is there - time to tax it fairly.
