This makes last weeks speech by Mr O even harder to take. Shame schools working hard under massive challenge. Ofsted’s system has zero credibility if it continues to punish schools who do the right thing rather than game the system.

🚨 NEW: Top performing secondary schools are effectively shutting out disadvantaged pupils with special educational needs. Our new polling suggests this is often a deliberate strategy to limit the numbers of these pupils coming through their school gates 🧵⤵️

I know you’re gonna come away from this shaking your head about how corrupt Trump is. I also love how Britain is calling him out directly. But what caught my eye… The UK has their own Steve Kornacki!

Multibillionaires and democracy cannot coexist, especially in the US.
When the super-rich can buy candidates and write their own laws, the average citizen is effectively disenfranchised.
Extreme wealth concentration is a poison that kills democratic institutions

@Kasparov63 The part that I have to confess not really being able to wrap my head around is why we wouldn’t want to make friends with the world’s undisputed leader in 21st century drone-infantry warfare? That relationship seems, uh, good for the United States.

Ukraine should walk away from all negotiations between the traitor Trump and the evil dictator Putin. There is nothing in it for them. They are winning now on the battlefield and Europe should step up and arm them to the teeth. This is a really simple black-and-white issue. Arm Ukraine, to annihilate Russia, which will create the fall of Putin and the demise of imperial Russia for good. Why is it so hard to understand? Trump is a traitor. Prove me wrong.

@Kasparov63 Meanwhile, Russia supplies Iran with drones and intelligence to target U.S. forces in the region. @MCTothSTL and I explain the dichotomy in the @KyivPost

As usual, the worse Russia is doing on the battlefield, the more Putin‘s sycophant Trump pushes Ukraine to surrender territory that Russia cannot take, and the more he criticizes Zelenskyy for not accepting national suicide.

Ukraine has been winning back territory the last 3 months. It is wrong for the Administration to push Ukraine to give land not in Russian control to Russia as part of a peace agreement. This is appeasement and rewards the invader. What happened at Sudetenland in 1938?

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A DOJ memo to Congress sheds new light on why Trump kept classified documents after leaving office.
Prosecutors point to possible ties to his business interests.
One document was so sensitive—only six officials in the U.S. were authorized to access it.
Classified material. Private hands. Possible personal motive.
The question now is why.

German MEP @moritzkoerner to Viktor Orbán:
“You are not a patriot. You are merely a useful idiot for Russia and China.”
“You have turned Hungary into a banana republic… enriching your family and friends.”

Don't believe the spin. Sewage spills are down to water companies, whatever the weather.
And dry spills can be worse: more concentrated, more damaging.
So the root problem of privatisation remains.
The public is paying to clean up our water. We should own it.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms.
You have to listen to this.

“The president doesn't have a grasp of reality; he's not stable. There's something not right here…He's getting a very filtered view of reality. They're showing him heroic montages every morning. That's bonkers.”

Hope his ballot gets lost in the mail and he falls down the stairs of air force one
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
🚨RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME: Donald Trump says he should be able to vote by mail-in ballot because “he’s the president of the United States.” After attacking mail-in voting for months, he now wants a special exception - for himself.

Trump wants $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A senator points out it was open before the war started.
So the plan was: close it, then charge to reopen it.
