How are you? Soaring high enjoying the winter sun light and stormy winds, or sheltering in the moss of a large tree and waiting for the winter time to finish?

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

There is no need for national exam at 16 when education compulsory to 18. Further decrease stress and risk to mental health by removing long marking time for A levels so students can get grades then apply to uni with known certainty. (Most other countries do this)
