The right claim the left see everything through the prism of race. Increasingly, the opposite is the case.
These were the six children to whom #C4News gave a platform this evening to share their views on the social media ban for under-16s. They were diverse, informed, and eloquent. But which group doesn't see themselves represented? Was the omission accidental or purposeful?

Excellent investigative journalism by BBC Panorama, showing Russian involvement not just in arson attacks on Starmer’s house but also in anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim attacks. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

Extremists, algorithms & hostile states try to divide us, to turn us against each other. But we have don’t have to follow them. We can choose to talk to each other& focus on what we have in common
That’s what Jo would have done & it was a privilege to start this with @katieamess

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

Let's just reflect on this for a moment. For the past few months a group of people who style themselves "patriots" have been peddling propaganda on behalf of a foreign state after it sponsored a firebomb attack on our Prime Minister.

Expectations for staff that they have to work outside their paid hours is problematic to say the least. To make their willingness measurable is simply absurd. Pay and conditions? Measurable by Ofsted? School funding? Once again cart before the horse
21h
The enrichment benchmarks for schools have finally been published – but the government cannot confirm whether schools will receive direct funding to achieve them

Spain v Cape Verde is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries’ highest points are volcanoes in Macaronesia.
Spain tops out at Mount Teide in Tenerife. Cape Verde tops out at Pico do Fogo on Fogo.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

If under-16s in the UK are about to be banned from using TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram, X, Reddit, Facebook, Twitch, Kick and Threads, then under-16s in the UK are about to become experts in VPNs.
It. Will. Not. Work.
Forcing the networks to use their gajillions to make their platforms safe for under-16s would work, but it all sounds like too much of an effort, apparently.

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.
