I have a proper rant brewing about the LadBible-isation of UK government comms, since circa 2016.
Apologies for bringing a twitter screenshot over here but I felt it was important for people to see how completely out of touch the DfE currently is. Sub Trumpian nonsense and an insult to all the educators doing the work, quite frankly.

So you've done the face-age check thing, you've seen an image temporarily transferred, scrutinised and deleted. It took a few seconds. Nobody captured who you were, nobody is hanging on to 'your data'. Was it really so bad?
