The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Amidst the madness of this sad and dangerous world we're living in, today is my Dad's 91st birthday. I miss him every day, but today seems particularly hard. His mantra was 'Keep Smiling' - I'm trying Dad, I really am. Love you xx

Now brace yourselves - I did a little thing yesterday. You might want to grab a cuppa, coz it turns out that it goes on for over 5 minutes (sorry about that)! If you run out of time, just skip to the end.

A handwritten poem in pencil on white paper. Some crossings out in the middle and no punctuation! Very early joined up writing.

A handwritten poem in pencil on white paper. Some crossings out in the middle and no punctuation! Very early joined up writing.

One of those lovely 'by accident' discoveries. Granted, it won't give @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social a run for his money, but I was only 8 when I wrote it. It's a bit Spike Milligan don't you think? Only look back to see how far you've come (still only 5' though, 54 years later) #poetry #childhood

Pretty chuffed with all this. A joy to work with 770 young people this month introducing them to Shakespeare & relating it to the world today - "The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance" - still so achingly true. @findingthewill.bsky.social @headteacherchat.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now* Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:
