🧵A few years back, I introduced sit-down community dining in my school. There was huge outcry at the time. Students had been used to wandering around the site at lunch time eating grab-and-go food, with litter strewn around the school site.

"The polling evidence ... shows that only 36% of Reform voters say they would have voted Conservative if Reform had not stood. Simplistic solutions which involve adding the Reform vote to the Tory vote and saying “Look, there is a rightwing majority here” are delusional"

The French political establishment is congratulating itself that it’s stuffed Marine Le Pen’s National Rally yet again. But its troubles have only just begun. How Macron’s centrists can agree any sort of Coalition with the New Popular Front, in which Jean-Luc Mélenchon is the

Sobering reading. The widespread use of testosterone to dope female athletes in East Germany in the 1980’s means that there is a large amount of longitudinal evidence of the catastrophic harm done by giving large doses of male hormones to females.

This unhinged rant, posted just a month ago and accusing an MP of being a “horrible human being” for expressing lawful beliefs and standing up for women’s rights, came from someone that was just about to stand trial for, &has now been convicted *of rape*.

This must be urgently remembered in 2029, with vigorous pressure on broadcasters to focus on actual issues. And energetic lobbying needs to start now for legislation against publication of opinion polls during election campaigns.

The Church of England Commission believes that the CoE has profited through the centuries from the slave trade & now the CoE is morally obliged to compensate. But this belief needs to be scrutinised with care. Two historians do just this. A must read:

"I use women's toilets/changing rooms and nobody ever complains" is a common claim from men pretending to be women. A thread about a recent encounter @brandubhsmum and I had with a man in a women's swimming pool changing room...

If women MPs want to organise cross-party, I'd suggest it should be in a way which doesn't build in special access for any external organisation. Especially one with highly unrepresentative views on a subject that's already helped bring down 2 first ministers in Scotland.

This is the bleak future of women’s sport. One male pool player has scooped all the major women’s pool titles and prize money. We call on @lisanandy , our new @DCMS Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to restore fairness and safety to women’s sport as a matter of

One of the heartiest, most beautiful soups you can make is caldo verde, a Portuguese soup made with potatoes, onions, garlic, chorizo and greens. It’s also very simple to make! In this thread I‘ll show you how to make it.

The prospect of a politically connected millionaire obtaining a court order to censor the internet should bother us regardless of the politics of everyone involved.

As my time as a minister has now ended, I wanted to acknowledge what an extraordinary privilege it is to serve in government and how grateful I am to have had the opportunity. For me, there are three main reasons that make this so special. 1/13

Ms Haq showed me there was no ceiling on what I or my friends could achieve. She set high standards and saw no reason we should not meet them. This is the difference great teachers make. That's why we start now fixing the recruitment & retention crisis.

There are no schools in the UK that follow a ‘no excuses’ model. This entire argument is based on tilting at a windmill that doesn’t exist. There are lots of schools with high standards, high expectations etc. This is not the same thing, and pretending they are is an enormous
