Hunt, Johnson, that nasty health sec who cheated on his wife, useless Williamson mashing up education, Raab, Truss, Zahawi, the whole lot of them need to explain themselves. Tired of the way they got to be appalling and run

#ExamFactory schools are _particularly bad for SEND pupils. But they are bad for _all_ pupils. Great to join @sianberry.bsky.social getting the message out.

How many ways are there to express my utter dismay at today's Labour party?
Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

Answers like this tend to forget there are 20 million people with long covid and over 100m with conditions that significantly increase risk from covid. Much easier to suggest anyone masking is crazy than like, admitting maybe they don’t want their heart failure to be worse. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Terrific piece this. Continue to find it bizarre how little “food inflation is off the chain” and “core inflation is above target” featured as topics at Labour conference or more broadly as “theories to why the government is unpopular”.
“I think politicians are ignoring prices and bills and hoping we’ll forget about them and find something else to complain about…”
My report on how the flighty Westminster bubble forgot about the cost-of-living crisis, which certainly isn't over:

Starmer and Labour's failure is having a direct impact on the Welsh general election, and the prospects for an independence referendum.
Left wing voters in Wales, and anyone who doesn't want a fascist party to seize power, have been left with a choice of one party.
