Tories can't spell the name of the country they want to be in charge of:

This reads far better in the original German, where of course the discussion would have been about Jews, Poles, gypsies, gays, Communists and Social Democrats. Still, Miller's model for all his rhetoric and action plans is unambiguous.

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

They are also averse to borrowing, even for necessary infrastructure investment, apparently, as a policy, regardless of the state of the locality

A chap called Ethan Mollick has written a book called ‘Co-Intelligence’ - I was feeling completely overwhelmed by it, but reading that has helped me just relax and try it out with random tasks. He is good at describing the pitfalls and limitations,as well as describing how different models are built

Abandoning the arts in schools is a national scandal A narrow, exclusively exam-focused education in the UK damages young minds

To honour Owen Cooper’s Emmy win, it would be a good day to read Anthony Seldon’s excellent FT piece on the urgent need to revive Arts education in the UK.

Headteachers in England doubling up as caretakers as funding ‘hits rock bottom’ Exclusive: Research finds more than 1,000 schools have suffered cumulative real-terms cuts in excess of £1m each

After years of chronic under-funding, our members are having to make very hard decisions in order to balance the books.

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Gambling companies are making billions in profit while outdated tax rules let them off the hook. A fairer tax could raise £3 billion - enough to scrap the cruel two-child limit and directly lift 500,000 children out of poverty overnight.
