Ed Miliband gets relentless bile from the right for his āideologicalā commitment to clean, cheap renewable energy - just as Nye Bevan once did for creating the NHS. Yet on March 25 97.7 % of our electricity was from renewables. A revolution is unfolding. observer.co.uk/news/columnisā¦

Grammar schools top the new look league tables. If schools are compared purely on the results of children they actively filtered in, itās no surprise they win. Inclusive schools, working with a broader mix of learners, simply cannot compete. schoolsweek.co.uk/grammars-tā¦

Horrific scenes in #Gaza, with hundreds killed just for seeking aid; people are #starving and forcibly displaced; and senior Israeli officials use dehumanising language, proposing to concentrate Gazans into a mass detention camp.
This has to stop and we must prevent #genocide.

Segregation does not benefit our children, and those who can pay (for tuition) reap benefits, the rest do not. And @BucksCouncil continue to pretend it's a fair and equitable system. It's neither.
