It's hard for the comms to cut through the constant attacks from the UK msm, who magnify every negative and blur any positive created by @UKLabour. The comms team must try harder.

When my children were still crawling, they would open books and turn the pages. They couldn't read. They had no idea what was going on. But it was a ritual. They became readers because they were already in the habit of reading well before they could decipher a single word.

Two Reform Councillors had died before they were elected. Five have quit because they never actually wanted to be Councillors. At least four have been fired because they are vile racists. One is complaining because he thought he'd be an MP. One was completely made up Clown party

First light of the season last night. The dog spent ages staring at it, eventually curled up next to it, nice and cozy. If she could talk I am sure she would have said “ah yes, I remember now!”

Can you imagine anything as absurd as a country that would make a woman resign over stamp duty on a seaside flat but absolutely refuses to sack the Ambassador to the US even though he was close friends with a man who pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution?

For goodness sake @BBCBreakfast at least try and pretend that you are unbiased. Labour is not “making mischief and picking a political fight” with NF, they are doing their job trying to secure the best deal for the UK consumer. Absolutely dreadful journalism.

My son just told me I am an amazing mum, that he loves me very much and couldn’t have wished for better. He is 26 and quite drunk, but I am taking it as a win.

I was very lucky to be sent this by @HuntEarlyYears . It's a very interesting read.i liked the case studies, especially where lessons are learnt. We've all been there and it's good knowing others have too. Some common sense, some new ideas depending on experience. Thanks

This book really inspired me to develop how I worked with families at SH. We definitely need to set the intent and then involve families in understanding our why and being part of our implementation @HuntEarlyYears

Incoming rant about Ofsted announcement of their report cards which they think are going to improve things when it’ll be just more of the same.

This is so stunningly shameful from the NHS at first I thought it must be a sick joke. Children with speech and language problems (in no large part caused by over-use of screens during lockdown), to be given speech and language therapy over WHATSAPP. Courses to take as long as ten weeks - so that's TEN weeks of intensive screen exposure for young children at precisely the point when pretty much every other children's stakeholder in the UK has reached a consensus that there is an urgent need to legislate to get kids away from social media and screens. Despicable. @SandyChatterbox @safe_screens @UsforThemUK telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01…
