Living in York, is a great place to reflect on what it means to be 'British'. Founded in 71AD by the Roman Empire, Eboracum was such an important city that two Roman Emperors happened to be here when they died. The multangular tower is largely of Roman construction. @VisitYork

As soon as I saw this article I was looking forward to Emma Monk's @monkemma.bsky.social thread!
You've GOT to be kidding me!
The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?
So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?
Let's go Debunking! 1/34

So according to England, trans men cannot use the women’s bathroom because it would frighten cis women. But trans women cannot use the women’s bathroom because it would frighten cis women.

I do think this is a big part of the problem. For many children, schools are intense and overwhelming, with very little downtime or the ability to follow their interests. Add in long days if parents are working or the intensity of social media etc, it's tough!
So we can call this a ‘SEND crisis’ - but possibly it’s more of a systemic ed issue? If schools were more accommodating, fewer children would need their ‘SEND’ designation?

🧵An important part of the primary experience is having a lovely time- adults ringfencing the unique state of childhood and ensuring that primary is a glorious place to be little. Playful and joyful are not the antonyms of high standards and aspiration.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
