Is it normal for someone who has done nothing wrong to seek expensive legal advice? 🤔

Just a reminder, that Angela Rayner took the decision to resign.

Suella Braverman was reinstated as Home Secretary after 6 days.

Priti Patel refused to resign and led to Independent Advisor resigning.

Nadhim Zahawi owed £5 million and didn't inform the Treasury.

THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.

Is that all?

Silencing the drumbeat again: seeking asylum is legal Hundreds protested in Ashington against so-called "illegal immigrants" - though seeking asylum has been legal since 1951

The term of ‘illegal migrant’ has been nurtured and the media repeat it as fact. It’s designed to whip up hate & dehumanise - there needs to be a pushback

Seeking asylum is legal & has been for 74 years, since the UK signed the UN Convention on Asylum Seekers in 1951

Amazing that someone so divisive could be seen as an "ambassador"!

Of course he has - resistance is futile! 😊

Woah! You actually blocked me when we had never interacted. Why are you distracting?

Come on Stuart you know full well that he can't take any criticism or challenge. Okay you agree with him but don't suggest he can take disagreement

Ludlow is the food capital of England. Any steak will be good

It has just dawned on me that this is the first start of an academic year since 1956 that I haven’t been directly involved in education! A sobering thought 🤔

How can someone as divisive as him be an "ambassador"?

Brilliant!

Arrogance, incompetence and influence - a toxic combination

Eating a mango while in a hammock must be so invigorating 😊

🤣

Got to keep moving 🤣

Thank you

I drink an awful lot of sparkling water and while it's not expensive I am feeling guilty about the amount of plastic. Does anyone have any experience of soda makers? What are your views? TIA

Take care of yourself Emma x

No he fucking doesn't have to respond 😡

Let's just be clear - poverty is a political choice. Every government in my 73 years has chosen to perpetuate poverty

The ideal time to turn on @mrjamesob.bsky.social is 10.20am!

As someone who used to be regularly asked to "deliver" CPD in schools I could not agree more. Change requires ownership and belief.

Gove has a lot to answer for 😡

I started teaching in 1972. Since that time I have been continually engaged in education - HT, adviser, inspector, Head of School Improvement, Director of Schools, consultant and most recently Trustee. 53 years - until today.

Are you advertising for Nike? 😂

Steak at sunset? Is that a euphemism? 🤔😊

Couldn't agree more Caroline. The system is designed to set school against school with winners and losers. It is not designed to help learners.

I think you are being far too generous about him!
