The vague and confusing recent DfE announcements regarding academising schools and inept SEN funding reforms further highlight that this government appears to be only listening to all the wrong people.

Right now @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social beg the courts for more injunctions to ban effective protest and picketing, this time for persons unknown.
Instead of resolving this dispute, they try to ban protest.
Solidarity is not a crime.

Had the Labour party been reading Private Eye in 2009, when business columnist Slicker was already laying out the peculiar Mandelson-Epstein connection, they would have known exactly what they were dealing with.

In forty years as a writer, I've never met a musician with a story as astonishing as Des Lee's.
In 1975, The Miami Showband - 'the Irish Beatles' - were ambushed by a fake army checkpoint. Three members were murdered.
I've interviewed Des for @theguardian.com

You could ask why Amazon, Google and Facebook don't pay their fair share of taxes.
They are killing our high streets too.
And do you need to be licensed to cut hair?
I'm not sure "millionaire donors" is a strong card for a Labour MP to be playing.

Image of memorial candle and candle flames. Remember the dead. Fight for the living' 28 April International Workers' Memorial Day
Today is International Workers' Memorial Day when we remember those who have died at work, or as a result of ill health at work.
We remember the dead, fight for the living, and fight for safer workplaces for all. #IWMD25
ποΈ Today we honour all workers who have tragically lost their lives due to injuries or illnesses sustained in the workplace.
We must renew our commitment to advocating for improved working conditions and enhanced protections to ensure the safety of all employees.
#IWMD #GFTU
On Workers' Memorial Day, we remember all those who have lost their lives to work-related illness or injury. Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace. Remember the dead, fight for the living! #IWMD25
