@oldandrewuk Even worse if you had to grapple with pupils' names.

My answer is online parents evenings. I much prefer them. Partly because it's quite a journey home in the evening. Partly because they can't overrun. But mainly, and I hate to admit it, it's because of how bad I am with pupil's names these days.

Teachers (and people who work in schools): Is there anything that changed during the pandemic that hasn't turned back to normal?

@krishgm Do you know any Reform voters? I do, they used to be Tory, and they voted Reform to smack the Tories. Labour's landslide was, for them, an entirely unintended consequence!

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

@AlanKelloggs Do you know, amazingly, there are people allowed to vote who don't even have a first degree?

@MottandBow But do they have a pocket? No? No sale.

@DominicFarrell Yeah, the sixth-largest national economy in the world measured by nominal gross domestic product (GDP), ninth-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP), and twenty-first by nominal GDP per capita. Well, if we're not top, we're nothing!

@JohnnyMercerUK Hordes

Signs getting defaced.. so dull. Labour giving up everywhere else in the south west and directing volunteers to Plymouth Moor View. There’s hoards of them - do they care about Plymouth or the Labour Party? Do you want two Labour Mp’s in Plymouth? I don’t. Support me July 4th.

@Jaimi_Shrive Oh do f off

I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’. Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃

@EdwardGLuce Can't see the foie gras dying goose, or the crated calf, or the ortolan, or the appalling pike head rillettes, or...

lots of people taking this literally.....Of course all these products are on sale in the UK. It's a piece of metaphorical artwork.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 But do they expect to fly and are sorely disappointed?

Total eclipse here now. Pitch black and all the birds have stopped singing.

@JuliaHB1 The actual Emily Maitlis interview was deathly slow and ponderous. She didn't ask killer questions, the arrogant Duke shot himself!

I watched Scoop last night, the Netflix drama of Newsnight's interview with Prince Andrew. Don't bother! What a snoozefest! While the actual Emily Maitlis interview was superb journalism, Scoop is deathly slow and ponderous. The star studded cast is wooden, and Gillian Anderson sounds more like Margaret Thatcher than Maitlis. You're better off watching paint dry.

@afneil Dig a bit deeper, guys, it's because the fucking French are making the engine blades and they're breaking!

Britain spending millions of pounds a year to send pilots overseas for training because the RAF doesn’t have enough fast-jet training aircraft available. Problems with Hawk T2 jets mean less than half fleet available for training in UK. They cannot fly for too long without the engines “blowing up”. Seriously. Maybe we could sell them to the Russians. Or Hamas. It’s death by a thousand cuts for the MoD these days.

Why on earth do foreign people want to come to Broken Britain? Pakistan GDP per capita £1,500, Broken Britain GDP per capita £33,000.

"Britain is spending millions to send pilots overseas for training because the RAF doesn't have enough fast-jet training aircraft, it can be revealed." Later: "an issue with the Rolls-Royce engine on the jet involved the engine blades supplied by a French company wearing out."

@DAaronovitch Not very helpful.. "a form of nationalism wherein the nation and nationality are defined in terms of ethnicity, with emphasis on an ethnocentric (and in some cases an ethnocratic) approach to various political issues related to national affirmation of a particular ethnic group".

@IanHughesCat Google it?

The inclusion of ‘globalism’ as an enemy here given Truss’s extreme free market views, is an ominous sign of the right’s new attachment to ethno-nationalism.

Huge thanks to @GillianKeegan for her visit today to @worthinghigh. Thank you for meeting our students and staff and for being so complimentary. @educationgovuk guidance on mobile phones will be useful to schools and something we’ve had in place for a number of years. @SDETrust

@Covbluenose I think he thinks we should all move to Holland.

Have I missed something here?!
