The brutality and poetry of County Lines @BBCRadio4 @PhoebeMcindoe hit hard. I work with children-bright and sweet and desperate for acceptance and understanding-and I’m forever seeking ways to divert them from this path that feels destined for them. This will help. Thank you.

I prosecute and defend in the most serious cases of child sexual abuse. What makes my job often impossible is the enthusiastic defunding of the criminal justice system by @SuellaBraverman and her colleagues. Justice often isn’t done. And it’s her fault.
“Justice hasn’t been done” Home Secretary Suella Braverman says “senior politicians in Labour-run areas” failed to prevent cases of child sexual abuse because they did not want to “call out people along ethnic lines” #BBCLauraK bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-polit…

Tonight the @V_and_A museum is hosting the Conservatives’ lavish summer fundraising party. It shouldn’t be happening.

Boris, it’s you who needs schooling. What you’ve described here is what teachers call teaching. #edchat #education #levelingup #EducationForAll
If your child falls behind in maths or English, we are asking schools to intervene and help them get them back on track. That’s our pledge to every parent. It’s part of the central mission of this government: to unite and level up across the country.

I’m so glad social media wasn’t about when I was in my late teens/early 20s. Just imagining having a heavy night then waking up with the fear that you’ve been tagged in 57 photos of you falling on your arse, snogging a dodgy bloke and throwing up Sambuca shots in a bush. No ta.

“What we are seeing is a decision by the government to get as many people infected as possible, as quickly as possible, while using rhetoric about caution as a way of putting the blame on the public for the consequences,” said Prof Robert West theguardian.com/world/2021/j…

I've just found out that Georgiana Houghton who painted these IN THE 186os, and who preceded Kandinsky by HALF A CENTURY in the creation of abstraction, lived downstairs from me! Same address! She was a spiritualist through whom the 'undead' conveyed their art. Blue plaque!

We spent yesterday discussing songs with the worst lyrics, and now I can’t get ‘I’m afraid of the dark, especially in the park’ from ‘Life’ (oh, life) by Desiree out of my head. This day is ruined. #badsonglyrics

It takes a special kind of incompetence to plan a lockdown after half term break. Not during, not immediately after, but 3 days after kids return to school and spread 🦠 before isolating. Some days I struggle to tie my shoe laces but I could still govern better than this shower.

I sometimes wonder if the reason we’ve never been contacted by aliens is that this is one of the images NASA chose to send into deep space
