@Morsecat There’s a solution; don’t read the Daily Mail.

@RealGeoffBarton Many congratulations on the well deserved award. Happy New Year. And, as I’m sure your wife knows, in many parts of #Suffolk, ‘twenty’s plenty’.

Many, many thanks for all the kind comments on my being awarded a CBE. Tonight I’ll raise a glass to the amazing pupils, colleagues and leaders I’ve worked with, learnt from, and been privileged to represent over a career of almost 40 years. A happy new year to you all.

@implausibleblog 🔥🇬🇧 Finally, someone telling it like it is! 🙌 John Major is spot on about #Brexit making the #UK weaker and poorer. 🤑 The Emperor's New Clothes moment has finally arrived - where are the benefits of Brexit? 🤔

@primarily_prog Bill Nelson; one of the most underrated guitarists, outside of BeBop deluxe fans that is.

Tonight’s listening … One of the great forgotten live albums, IMHO of course.

“The merry-go-round of Tory ministers in recent years failed to grip the rising tide of poor behaviour pre-pandemic & then told children & families they’d ‘maxed out’ on Covid recovery support.” 14 years of underfunding may also have something to do with it. @Stephen_Logan

An appalling article from @guardian, which has the potential to cause harm to thousands of children. With lurid warnings of a 'bad-behaviour bubble', it could inflame a delicate situation. And the beneficiary could be under-fire tsar Tom Bennett. 🧵 theguardian.com/education/arti…

@ottleyoconnor Well said. Staying on #X formerly known as #Twitter can be a message to those that want to change the tone and nature of the platform that “we ain’t going nowhere”.

Quite a few of my long term connections have now left Twitter… Quite a few have a foot in both the Twitter & Blue Sky camps… I’m going to continue sharing and caring on Twitter & believe that the love & kindness of the vast majority my diverse connections will prevail! ❤️🙏

@RealGeoffBarton @Morsecat @pepediiasio @ASCL_UK One of my principles was always to maintain a broad/balanced curriculum; it became increasingly difficult to maintain & since retiring I’ve seen it narrow more. It was also the rhetoric around the ‘value’ of creative subjects from the former govt that did harm; I hope it changes

“It is clear that the English Baccalaureate has had a devastating effect on creative arts & technology subjects … The EBacc must be scrapped and more done to champion the importance of subjects that have been sidelined”: well said, @pepediiasio @ASCL_UK: shorturl.at/Cr17l

An incisive and powerful piece by @DavidOlusoga “While there were horrific attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, most of those targeted by the rioters were British citizens: members of communities with histories that go back three generations or more…”

There can be no excuses. The UK riots were violent racism fomented by populism | David Olusoga #Echobox=1723332002" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
