Great that our new book, The Working Classroom, inspired a phone in on James O’Brien’s show on @LBC. Thanks @mrjamesob and our publisher @CrownHousePub

Ten years ago next week, the Labour MP Jo Cox was stabbed and killed by a white supremacist born in Scotland who hated her support for remaining in the European Union. Farage and his far-right supporters didn’t give a damn.

90% of countries in the world can own their water but not us. People in England want their water back. But the government is protecting private water profiteers. It’s time to give the public a say. @Feargal_Sharkey wants you stand up and be counted. Sign the petition: vist.ly/576px

***GREAT TEACHING FRAMEWORK*** Over the last few months we have been working on developing our great teaching framework to ensure every student experiences consistently high quality teaching. Our framework has four key drivers of excellence: ✅ Subject knowledge ✅ Relationships ✅ Routines ✅ Hard Thinking The framework has six principles, key components and linked techniques from @WALKTHRUs_5, @teacherhead, @olicav and TLAC @Doug_Lemov. We have mapped the techniques to the Great Teaching Toolkit. For each technique, we have codified what it means and our teaching and practice labs CPD sessions allow staff to get it, see it and try it. We then use @Steplab_co for our coaching model to keep it, fit it and continue to try it through deliberate practice. #TheLongdendaleLegacy #GreatTeaching

Ofsted toolkit: Attainment. For me, all of these points serve to unfairly hit schools with more disadvantaged students. The 'compared to national averages' thing is nonsense. Always will be. Just leave attainment out of the equation and judge what you see in the 2 days.

Dreaming of a home? UK worker share of gross value added down from 71.9% in 1975 to 59.3%. Employee median wage £31524. Can you buy a home? Private sector rents up 28% in 3 yrs. Social housing depleted since the 1980. Govts besotted with neoliberalism leftfootforward.org/2026/06/…

Please don't forget the Trump family is barred from ever running another charity in NY because they stole from a Children's Cancer Charity. A F**KING CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITY!

No one should be making profits from vulnerable children. Yet £1 out of every £5 paid to private providers of children’s social care is taken out in profit. The profits are so good that even the top civil servant at the health department owned shares in a children’s social care company. Time to end this scam!

A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail. Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens. THAT'S two tier justice...

If you want Baroness Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords and to repay the £136,000,000 owed to taxpayers, please RT!

Farage is a cancer on our country. He must never be allowed to govern, ever.

The gravy train continues. Failed former CEO of Ofwat, David Black has reappeared at a consultancy company called BRG where he will "Advise firms and investors across regulated industries as they navigate shifting regulatory frameworks". His boss? No less than former head of regulation at Thames Water one Colm Gibson. As @PrivateEyeNews would say "Trebles all round". Well actually that's exactly what they did say. 👇👇👇

46 persons of interest and 7 suspects. The first should be in hundreds and the second, dozens, at least. Turn off the funding tap to the PO for "defence" fees & PR companies. Divert it to the police for Operation Olympos. Do it NOW! postofficescandal.uk/post/po…

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

So in one night we’ve seen a player getting booked for a foul in the penalty area without conceding a penalty and another player charging into Djed Spence using his elbow, breaking his jaw, without being sent off. Just your average officiating in a game against Spurs. Completely normal stuff.
