@omnisophos @wonkingmankey @philsharrock @ZackPolanski Who do you think would carry out those council inspections? Probably the same people that carry out the current Ofsted inspections. Also, unless the inspections were made entirely random in timing, the same 'games' would still go in preparation whoever does them.

@wonkingmankey @philsharrock @ZackPolanski As an organisation, no. Bring back Borough/council inspections/monitoring. Restore Academies to a local level of control and accountability.

Ex Headteacherhere. @ZackPolanski you just gained millions of votes from current and Ex teachers.

@Matt_Pinner Yes please.

Do you enjoy Carrot Cake… Yes or No? 🤔

@PaddyBriggs @Scouser_Les_LFC @tshep42 The casualties could have been avoided by Argentina not invading in the first place. Actions have consequences.

@Scouser_Les_LFC @tshep42 I think the Falklands War. Utter failure of diplomacy. The slaughter could have been avoided. The tub-thumping patriotism was sick-making. And it gave Thatcher two more terms where she wreaked havoc and divided the nation.

1979 Thatcher elected

@liamcunningham1 Why should it bother you seeing as you don't even live in the UK?

The British police are arresting people while wearing masks. The rot continues and metastasises.

@ClaudiaWebbe All those people are doing is getting in the way of ordinary citizens wanting to go about their business. The march will achieve nothing.

Half a million in London today. The largest anti-far right march in British history. 56 billionaires own more than 27 million of us. They built the crisis, bankrolled the hate, and bought Reform UK. The streets belong to us - not to Farage, not to Musk, not to their money. x.com/PSCupdates/sta…

@msjenniferjames @metpoliceuk If you have a legitimate complaint against them you can itdentiy them to the police authorities by the numbers displayed on their shoulders. So why do you need to see their faces?

.@metpoliceuk Why are Met police officers hiding their faces and identities? We do not have anonymous police officers in Britain. Who are these men?

@Martina Shouldn't happen but here in the UK water companies frequently discharge raw sewage into rivers and the sea during times of heavy rain (and sometimes when it isn't raining).

@CarlBovisNature Used to see one hammering away at a telephone post near us a few years ago.

Who has ever seen a Woodpecker? This is one of the 'Great Spotted' variety in my Somerset garden. 😍🐦😀

@michaelkeen82 @JuliaHB1 Well I worked in a High School for 15 years and never saw any teachers (including those in the Art Department) dressed like that.

@JuliaHB1 5 people out of 1600 who attended. have you never seen an art teacher etc they’re always dressed differently. what a sad life you must live if this is what you do with your time, picking on how people choose to dress.

Good lord 🤦🏻‍♀️

@thecookie53 @ZackPolanski The war would still have happened and fuel prices gone up anyway. Are you saying that fuel prices haven't gone up in Spain because of their stance?

@ZackPolanski Exactly - he has lost my vote. By facilitating this war, we also bear the consequence of escalating fuel costs too. I blame Starmer fully for the impending financial crisis we are finding ourselves in.

Labour saying Starmer 'keeping Britain out of the war' will be part of their local elections campaign. But it's untrue. There are 27 US B52s at RAF Fairford, launching bombing raids. Starmer has made Britain part of Trump's war. He could have just said no, like Spain's PM.

@WorkElizab Tea first thing and then a cup of coffee with my breakfast.

Me water And you?

@MartinRemains To be honest I don't think any of the current Party Leaders are.

Farage is simply not PM material. Surely, this is obvious?

@DavidJones02232 @Amelia558rs As I live in the UK (and can't stand the bloke), why should I?

@Amelia558rs Anyone on here that says no is full of shit.

??🤔

@james_xond Yes

Honestly, do you still say “thank you” when someone holds the door for you??

@ZackPolanski So anyone not agreeimg with you is "injecting poison"? Arguably the best political interviewer of his generation. Talks sense on most topics as far as I'm concerned.

Seem pretty bitter and twisted. And after years of injecting poison into Britain - disappeared off to France. We'll keep dancing now you're gone! 🕺🏽

@tonycharles66 @jt_stamford You get situations where the actual roundabout is clear, but the road beyond has standing traffic a couple of car lengths down.

@jt_stamford It all depends on your approach speed and the size of the roundabout though surely?

If you break when pulling up to a clear roundabout, you shouldn’t be on the road… you’ve got the spacial awareness of a wooden spoon 🤣

@chefsevenn A toss up between ice cream (especially if the pie is warm) and custard.

What goes best with apple pie?

@RedDyke69 @JohnCleese @jackpolanski Polanski's line isn't clear. A clearer use of the present tense would be to say "leading", rather than "to lead".

@JohnCleese Stick to writing brilliant comedy — but maybe get someone to check your grammar 😉 ? @jackpolanski line is pure present tense: “I’m (I am) the only Jewish person to lead…” He’s claiming right now that he’s the unique one in charge. Not “who has led.” Not a historical reference. Basic English. Even if we generously give you Disraeli as a former Jewish leader (Samantha’s star witness), he was baptised at 12 into the Church of England. That was fortunate for his political career, because Jews were banned from entering Parliament back then. He lived and led as a practising Christian — though we can stretch to include him because of his Jewish roots. And if Zack’s comment was somehow meant to be historical, he’d still be wrong. There have been other try Jewish Leaders • Ed Miliband (openly Jewish, led Labour) • Michael Howard (Jewish, led the Conservatives) • Herbert Samuel (Jewish, led the Liberals) Anyway, thanks for the legendary Monty Python and Fawlty Towers — absolute genius, classics. 🙏

You'd think a party leader in Britain would have some knowledge of British history Maybe it's of no interest to him ?

@dineen20dineen Yes.

Did you put the clock forward last night

@jan_murray Didn't see the programme. Was she saying it Tongue In Cheek?

Guardian columnist Zoe Williams claims the reason we don't have mixed football teams is because “women are too good”. 🙄 Now, I’m no expert on football - but you don’t need to be. You can see it with your own eyes. Watch an elite men’s match and an elite women’s match side by side. The men are, on average, quicker, stronger and more powerful - which changes the pace, intensity and physicality of the game. Saying that doesn’t diminish women’s football. It’s simply acknowledging reality. Men’s and women’s football are different - because men and women are different. This isn’t really about Williams - it’s about the kind of baseless arguments that get bandied around to justify men in women’s sports and spaces. Including by women themselves.
