A sobering read. We must do more and do better to support our staff. Workplace should be a safe place for all who work in schools.

🐮 I wasn't aware the UK was this short on butchers Across 2022 and 2023 over 3500 butchers were sponsored into the UK from overseas on work visas. One company alone sponsored over 500 in one year.

And the police have done nothing. Exactly the same as when I reported Susie Greens organisation for selling a T-shirts with my name crossed out & ‘DEAD name’ written through it the day after Charlie Kirk was murdered. Trans activists have had a free pass to violence & threats.

Over the past year, Trans Bash Back has proudly committed criminal damage on a feminist conference and an MP’s and EHRC’s offices, as well as hacking the free speech union’s website, and continues to encourage others to do the same. Yet there hasn’t been a single arrest, why?

Latest: “The standoff over self-ID in Montenegro signals a broader impasse over LGBTIQ+ rights. Progressive politicians are full of enthusiasm for “legal gender recognition” as long as the details of what it entails are not revealed. At a certain point, however, the surface gets

Thank you Dale. This photo proves the very opposite of a genocide. The only way an army would be able to carry out this level of destruction (the why is a separate argument but essentially booby traps, snipers, and tunnels) with so few civilian casualties comparatively is with a

.@CamillaTominey your attitude to the suffering in Gaza is incredible, not in a good way, look at this picture and maybe reflect on your views - that this is all the fault of Hamas… this is not a picture of ’self defence’ - it’s utter systematic destruction of everything in

Funny how on the new Left, - ‘Hope Not Hate’ is in fact a purveyor of hate - ‘Liberal’ really means illiberal, often frighteningly so - the ‘anti-fascists’ are strikingly similar in outlook and methods to the actual fascists - the ‘anti-racists’ turn out to be more obsessed with

Peatland wildfires caused around 90% of the UK's fire-related carbon emissions from 2001 to 2021. A managed burn causes roughly 3%. The case against burning heather runs on climate: peat is a vast carbon store, so fire on peat must stop. The carbon figures say the reverse. When

I’m not defending billionaires. I’m defending the economic system that protects the freedom to own property and to compete in the market. I’m not worried about billionaires, I’m worried about big government destroying the economy. Billionaires make money through voluntary trade

On Thursday morning a company called Rotork, which most of the country has never heard of and all of it should be proud of, agreed to stop being British. It makes the valves and actuators that open and close the flow in pipelines, reactors and water works - an unshowy,

A paradox: Minimally guided instruction sees creativity, curiosity and critical thinking as inputs, ie general skills to be cultivated directly and then sort of aimed at content. In contrast, explicit instruction treats them as outputs, ie the by-product of deep, well-organised
