Iβm sorry to learn that Jonathan Lear has died. His book Radical Hope is one of the deepest and wisest books Iβve read this decade. If youβve not read it, Iβd recommend it. Itβs a book for the dark times weβre in.

This research reinforces what weβve long known to be true: that children can grow up to be kind, ethical, and fulfilled without religion playing any part in their lives. Wonderful to read about children's natural curiosity for science, capacity for compassion, and awe in the natural world.

End to school rating system could play havoc with house prices, says Ofsted chief
Martyn Oliver says he knows of property values shooting up by Β£15,000 after schools were graded as outstanding
Iβm struggling to work out why house price fluctuations are of any concern to the head of Ofsted, other than that the marketisation of everything has softened his and our brains.

Gaza aid contractor tells BBC he saw colleagues fire on hungry Palestinians
The Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has strongly denied the allegation.
Difficult to express how I feel about those in our politics and media who are more concerned about what some rapper said at Glastonbury than fact that, as a matter of deliberate policy, the Israeli government is paying mercenaries to murder starving civilians for fun.

As MPs vote on massive cuts to Universal Credit & PIP today, they should bear in mind:
- This does not have public support
- This is not the change the public voted for
- The public don't believe the only way to meet fiscal challenges is to make disabled people poorer and iller
