Laura Kuenssberg, "You don't believe that the economy should just keep growing and getting bigger" Adrian Ramsay, "GDP as a measure of economic success doesn't tell us about how unequal our society is.. Whether children have clean air to breathe.. Whether our rivers are full of sewage.. Whether public services are working properly.. Whether people can get access to a dentist" @AdrianRamsay "We need a wider range of economic measures which are about health, happiness, prosperity, job security, public services" 👏

Another fabulous afternoon planting for year 5 🌼🌸🌷🪻🌻

This week, the Gardening Club got creative! We repurposed old milk and water bottles to make our own watering cans. 🌱♻️ It's a great way to recycle and care for our plants!

Mark Carney,former BoE governor says Brexiteers destroyed the future for Britain;listen to his wise words;why can’t politicians admit when their decisions are wrong & damaging—leave your egos at home! Think country first,egos last!

The points Macron makes in this interview came up in several conversations I’ve had over the last few months - when the same points are made by different knowledgable people, I listen. The consensus appears to be that the chance of NATO being drawn into conflict in Europe with Russia over the next decade is priced much higher than I imagined - and I imagined it was quite likely. The rise of nationalism in Europe (and the US) makes this more likely. The historic lack of investment in R&D and defence across our continent makes this more likely. From the U.K. perspective, pretty much everyone agrees (behind the scenes for the moment) that Brexit has made these problems more difficult to address. As Blair said in the recently recirculating interview from 2019, the politicians who advocated it were naive and ignorant and did not understand how power is deployed on the international stage. What can be done? Again, I was surprised by the unanimity of the views from people with otherwise different political positions. We have to plan for a more isolationist US whose focus may shift away from Europe, even as we hope and work to avert this possibility. The U.K. therefore needs to reengage with Europe - by which I mean get itself firmly on the path to EU membership - as quickly as possible and before Macron leaves office. That depends primarily on the Conservative Party accepting the principle in opposition. The ball is in their court. This will (a) demonstrate that attempts to destabilise our continent politically are failing and (b) boost our economies so we can invest more in R&D and defence. Obviously, as you’ll see in the replies below, some people will need a lot of persuading. But the alternative is potentially existential, and so the case will have to be made. What we need in the U.K. is for a politician to emerge who has the rhetorical ability, courage and intellectual firepower to make the case to a public still shell shocked by the experience of 2016 - and who has the diplomatic skill to convince Europe that we are serious.

We need to be careful when using words like *vulnerable*. Of course, too many are rendered vulnerable because of barriers to participation & not having their gifts recognised. Addressing “vulnerability” is largely about enabling citizenship & equity; not therapy or benevolence.

Year 5 had a great time sowing wildflower seeds at Peel Park this morning. We can’t wait to watch them grow! 🌷🪻🌻

Come & join in the wildflower seed sowing, everyone welcome #biodiversity #breathebetterair @GreenSefton_ @CF_Merseyside @seftoncouncil

A job made easier thanks to the pupils from @allsaintsbootle, sowing a wildflower corridor in Peel Road Park to add beauty and biodiversity @HeritageFundUK @GreenSefton_
