In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Eleven more days until the really long nights start drawing out again.

True. Jenrick's point was awful. What really grated was that this was an intervention. Like "a point SO RELEVANT I must put it out there now". And stop making excuses for this shite.

No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

How in the world is the @Telegraph actually trying to spin this as a Labour problem when the mortgage increases were a direct result of Liz β€œThe Lettuce” Truss’s dangerous combination of woefully misplaced self-confidence and weapons-grade incompetence?

I mean, seriously?!

In the UK, Farage has decided to take the pay of US evangelical groups. He’s now spouting anti-abortion tripe and will go full-on MAGA anytime soon.

I don’t think it’ll play in the UK. The real danger is if the media starts making this sort of stuff part of the β€œconversation”.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

Why am I telling you this?

In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"

The Strid in the River Wharfe: the most dangerous stretch of water in the world? Norky takes us to β€˜the most dangerous river in the world’ (the Strid in the River Wharfe) which gives rise to a couple of good – if not necessarily true – stories!

"There are many harrowing stories of the unfortunate or the foolhardy people who try to jump the two-metre narrowest section and end up in the churning mass of water only to be sucked under and spat out a month later."

Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers | CNN Business When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on ...

He is deliberately scaring these people. It's not terrorismβ€”but it is politically motivated abuse intended to cause fear.

Americans will learn in the coming years that it would have been wise to listen to a Trump and Musk biographer who's called both men evil (at least in the way any human can be).
