What a privilege to be at 11 Downing Street this evening to mark 50 years of the @britishlibrary with @rolykeating and colleagues. Great to hear Secretary of State @lucyfrazermp speaking with real conviction about the central role of reliable #information in our democracy.

Introducing our newest space, the J.Bounce Morrell!
This 1:4 scale model of the JBM is made entirely of bouncy castle, and is actually a #LibInspo 2019 runner up that we’ve only just got around to finalising.
You’ll find it on the Fairhurst lawn and £3 gets you 15 minutes. 👍

Oh this is absolutely wonderful! What a brilliant, thoughtful post from an educational leader about the central role a library can play in the culture and life of the school. I'd love people to read this far and wide, we need more of this! Thank you @middleton_pj @HeartOTSchool

To find out why my first priority as a new Head was to restore a library at the heart of our school- and why libraries are more important now than ever before - have a read of my latest blog post: petermiddleton.blog/2023/01/11/a-n…

Right now green belt land identified in @HertsmereBC local plan for development is being destroyed. A biodiverse area of land sprayed and ploughed for what reason? To make it appear derelict? Residents deserve an explanation

@OliverDowden Dear Mr Dowden, I'm sure you don't want green belt land to be built on following the PM's party conference speech. But this is happening right now in Bushey to our green belt, the day after a planning consultation began. Please can you help?
