@HelpfulTeacher_ In the legal system so I am familiar with a time for quiet. What you are saying is silence should be the ‘default’, which is absolutely not realistic whatsoever. There is a time and place for it. Like a police briefing 🙄 Further feedback: read your work

@globedust2 Where do you work? 😅 Try, any formal work environment? Do you imagine police officers just gab during crime briefings? Weird that you think basic manners and calm, safe learning environments are 'authoritarian'

The classroom default should be pin-drop silence 🔕 There is time for collaboration, think-pair-shares, discussion and debate When the teacher decides so But the default is silence. That's the only way education can work, and it's how students should enter the room 🚪 #Edchat

@fesshole This is such a truth. I have pointed it out numerous times and the Reform lot get very upset indeed. Most right wingers do. They play act Christianity without understanding what the Bible says and it really sticks in the throat.

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

@PippaCrerar @siennamarla I cannot articulate how much this man gives me the creeps. Literally hair raising. Stay the hell out of our private lives Reform…better yet, stay the hell out of this country.

Fascinating interview by @siennamarla with Reform UK's Danny Kruger - who (among other things) tells her that political parties have a "limited but important" role in undoing the sexual revolution and the UK is suffering from having a "totally unregulated sexual economy". politicshome.com/news/article/d…

@LBC No. Can we just grow up a bit and have a proper conversation about getting rid of the monarchy? Instead of the hysterical tripe about not wanting a president, look to other successful countries where it works. The royals can continue being celebrities and will do well.

William and Kate must rebuild royal family’s integrity, says PR expert lbc.co.uk/article/willia…

@LBC She was up to her eyeballs in this. £12 million to buy off his accuser. That wasn’t shame enough? It’s time for a serious conversation about getting rid of the whole lot of them.

"I'm glad the late queen wasn't alive to see this." James O'Brien expresses his sympathies for the late queen, following the arrest of her son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

To suggest that the NHS is worse under Labour than it has been under the Tories is ludicrous. I am no fan of the current Labour govt, but it has still done more for the NHS in 1 year than the Tories have in 14 years

@grok @194theNod @JMPSimor Poor child.

@yvessirae Department Q

Can someone please recommend a Netflix show that’s actually addictive, the kind that makes people stay up all night and finish season one in one sitting?

@RupertLowe10 Look at the average age of the posters saying get people into the office. Absolutely mindless, ‘good old days’ drivel from people well past their sell by dates. Belt up and let companies and their employees do what works for them.

If private companies want to allow employees to work from home, that is absolutely none of our business. Good for them. They can do what they like. Plenty work from home and deliver, stupid to say otherwise. Politicians should listen to the following. LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.

@CllrVClive @RobertJenrick @reformparty_uk Church going is not the same as Christian. As you would know, if you truly read the Bible. And I my view is not ‘wordly’. That is the whole point of my faith. I suggest you do some further reading also.

@globedust2 @RobertJenrick @reformparty_uk Quite a few regular church-going Christians elected as Reform Councillors in West Northamptonshire, I daresay it's the same elsewhere. Perhaps you need to re-assess your worldview?

I wasn't @RobertJenrick's no.1 fan and could have quite happily seen @reformparty_uk continue on their journey without him but I'm a Christian and we believe in forgiveness. Suitably contrite he appeared today and so we move forward with now 6 MPs, the past left in the past, and looking forward to seeing what he brings to the team. May 2026 will, without a doubt, be the biggest earthquake in politics between now and the next General Election.

@Haryan_Glaeddyv @CllrVClive @RobertJenrick @reformparty_uk You need to do some further reading.

@globedust2 @CllrVClive @RobertJenrick @reformparty_uk I'm Christian, have read the bible, and am voting Reform

@benrileysmith Learn to spell. I know you write for a silly comic but really.

BREAKING An absolutely excoriating take down of the modern day Conservative Party by Robert Jenrick as he publicly defects to Reform. He says the Tories are no longer "fit for purpose", personally singles out former shadow cabinet colleagues like Priti Patel and Mel Stride for criticism. Some of the brutal lines delivered... “Over the last year I’ve realised that I was naive... Most of the Conservative Party in Westminster are in denial or worse, they’re being dishonest about what the party has done.” “I can’t kid myself anymore. The party hasn’t changed and it won't. The bulk of the party don’t get it. They don't have the stomach for the radical change Britain needs... The divisions, the delusions, are still there.” "If [the Tories] won’t admit publicly to you, the British people, what they broke, what possible faith can you have to them to fix it? The Conservative Party in Westminster isn’t sorry, it doesn’t get it, it hasn’t changed, it won’t change, it can’t change.” “In retrospect I see that in this period when two main parties were failing Britain, Nigel was all too often a loan voice of common sense." This is a defection turned up to 11. Jenrick went all in.

@jessicaelgot It’s absolutely cringeworthy.

Never say the man doesn't have a sense of theatre

There it is

@Jigas3 @an0n_Nic You have no personal allowance at this level so this is nonsense.

@an0n_Nic No that's not how it works at all . First £12700 is tax free then it's 20% up to £50k then from £50k to £125k is 40%. You don't pay 60% tax anywhere on that salary .

But this is exactly the point. The UK remains a great place to live when you’re on £50k, paying little tax, spending very little. If you actually earn a high salary, it’s not such a great place relative to the effort of earning a high income when ~60% goes on tax.

@TheMindScourge The whatabouttery from the (mostly) male replies here have me rolling my eyes. It is not an attack on you to say a newborn prefers the mother; it’s biology. Fragile egos in check now boys!

I’ve had 4 newborns and, fundamentally, newborns have zero interest in their fathers. They just don’t. They are entirely fixated on their mother. They know her from being in the womb. They know how she sounds, smells, the rhythm of her heartbeat. The father is a stranger by comparison. They don’t know you. So when you hand off the baby to the dad, you might as well be giving the baby to a random person on the street for all the baby knows The dad’s role is the support the mother however possible. But you cannot get the baby to care about the father for several months at a bare minimum. Some dads take this personally. They think they have to do something. But there’s nothing to do. It just isn’t about you A great example of this is skin to skin contact: fathers can warm their baby against their chest, but also overheat them, as the heating is unidirectional and there’s no feedback Whereas with the mother, the thermoregulation is bidirectional. Her chest can warm up to 2 degree C or cool up to 1 degree C to thermoregulate the baby

@SoVeryBritish Sorry to bring logic into it but I shop so I don’t have to go near a supermarket again for a while and can spend time in my PJs or hiking boots out in the fresh air instead. If you want to shop again on 26 December, we are different people.

The weirdest thing about Christmas is how we all food shop as if the supermarkets will be closed for a fortnight from Christmas Eve onwards.

@AllisonPearson @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour Why on Earth would you think that is even the wildest possibility? The postponed elections have been requested by the ( mainly Conservative) councils because they are not ready?

@Miss_Snuffy This is beyond naive in response. The children in your school are being let out into the world completely unsafe and ill equipped to deal with what is out there.

This is so INSANE. 🥴 Oh yes maybe I should do an assembly about strangulation in porn! 😲 HAVE WE ALL LOST OUR MINDS?? Why not instead ban smartphones in schools Labour?? And tell parents no unsupervised access to the internet for kids! Simple.
