A reminder that the last Conservative Government published a review just last year claiming that there had been "too much focus" on tackling threats from the far-right.

A report calling for integrated climate education and referencing our Curriculum for a Changing Climate was debated in the House of Lords today! Let’s hope that Professor Francis’ team on the education review take notice of the youth call to implement climate education!

💼How does the OBR shape the idea of fiscal responsibility, and can it be changed? This week we ask whether a modest tweak to the new Budget Responsibility Bill could change the incentives for future Chancellors: neweconomybrief.net/the-dige…

Ultimately, you cannot put people like Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Nadine Dorries, Gavin Williamson & Chris Grayling in charge of things and expect those things to work. The "natural party of government" needs to ask how it became so unserious about the people it chose to govern.

You know what our managers think 'efficiencies' are, @Jacqui_Smith1? Cutting repeat 'costs' (i.e.: salaries) and instead spending on one-off fees to consultants &gig-economy firms. Those transactions don't build the future, it's money that just disappears but 'looks efficient'.

Breaking: Not only was Sunday the hottest day in the recorded history of Earth, Monday was even hotter. WHY ARENT YOU COVERING THIS PROMINENTLY @bbcnews @skynews @itvnews @thetimes @nytimes @cnn @BBCNewsnight theguardian.com/environment/…

BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign is resurrecting this video of then Senator Harris demolishing Bill Barr during her cross examination. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Kamala Harris is going to prosecute Donald Trump with the same passion.

Of all the commentary out there about what Labour can learn from its past I particularly recommend this excellent podcast series

Love this: ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩ speech “Be in no doubt: international students are welcome in the UK. This new government values their contribution – to our universities, to our communities, to our country.” gov.uk/government/speeches/b…

Dear @Jacqui_Smith1, the University of Hull is on it's 3rd redundancy cycle (one every time we change VCs). They spend, they trigger debt covenants, they make us redundant. Academics doing teaching and research have no control over these people.

Delighted to be part of this excellent special issue of Policy & Society bringing together a range of great ideational political economy scholars. Thanks very much to Martin B. Carstensen, Eva Sørensen, & Jacob Torfing for judicious editing and bringing the project to fruition.

📢🆕Issue (43.2) is out❗️ Co-guest edited by Martin B. Carstensen, Eva Sørensen, & Jacob Torfing, the new Issue examines what characterizes robust policy and governance ideas & how ideational robustness affects the robustness of governance & policies👇 academic.oup.com/policyandso…

In May, we showed Bridget Phillipson climate education in action at a Newcastle middle school. As Education Secretary, we can't wait to see her prioritise climate education. 📚😊 #ClimateEducation #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalEducation

On the draconian sentencing of people who planned a non-violent protest: 1. The real vandals are big polluters, not peaceful protesters. 2. The Tories’ anti-protest laws attack not just JSO, but our very democracy and everyone’s ability to challenge power. We should scrap them.

Will someone please show this to Judge Hehir as he obviously hasn’t left the 18th Century. Diolch 👍🏻

Am enjoying the “Working Principles” of the govt’s “Curriculum & Assessment Review”. It’s quite the, er, common sense revolution to replace myth & distraction with concern for implementation & workload. Also, the review chair ⁦@BeckyFrancis7⁩ is into Bakhtin. Carnival time.

🎙️SPERI Presents...🎙️ Lessons in Power: What the new Labour government learn from the last one? This week, Michael and Mems discuss: Intl Development w/ Clare Short Poverty w/ Carey Oppenheim Public Services w/ Nick Pearce EPISODES 4-6 AVAILABLE NOW: spoti.fi/4d4gmk4

This, I think, is what the @Telegraph, @History_Reclaim, and @RestoreTrustNT have got so wrong since Black Lives Matter: Teaching about the drastically divergent, racialised experiences of colonialism and the multiple identities that have come to constitute today's Britishness as a result of it, is a means of understanding the past more honestly. But it is also the vehicle enabling us to move on from it. If we want to instrumentalise history for social cohesion, as these organisations clearly do, denying that the British Empire was ever racially divisive, or dismissing the importance of those divisions is counterproductive. It only generates more tension, through the refusal to recognise most Black Britons' heritage. We need to start teaching colonial history not as something ‘we’ did to ‘them’, but as something ‘we’ did to 'one another': something from which we might learn.

Labour have backed our Climate Education Bill for over two years. Now that they're in power, we need to keep up the pressure for them to honour their words. @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour, we're ready and waiting for you to make a move on climate education

We are grateful to Clare Short, @CareyOppenheim and @IPR_NickP for joining @michaelujacobs and @MemsAyinla in the studio at @ODI_Global Stay tuned for the final three episodes, coming soon!
