We are 8 days into Trump’s chaos, but there are some absolute bright spots: outspoken, forceful, determined leaders, who will never cower to Donald. If we want to beat Trump and maga, these are the types of champions we’ll need to rally behind.
These Democrats Aren't Afraid Of Trump. Not One Bit.
Onward.

Don't suppose anyone I know on here is at OCR's 11-16 review launch in Westminster this evening. I mean, I'll have a book with me so I'll be fine but it would be fab to know if anyone else is going or if it will be me, Charles Clarke and a bunch of journos?

Just before tomorrow begins - an important message:
Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a phenomenal result that they deserve to be proud of. Let’s be a bit more responsible in our language.
