If Ofsted inspects a school that is forced to teach kids who turn up hungry, and has had its funding so viciously cut that it can barely afford a pack of pencils, that is NOT a failing school. That is a failing government.

The BBC didn't report Johnson's affair with Arcuri, or the Michelle Mone scandal, or a 50,000-strong demo of striking public sector workers. None of them newsworthy, apparently.

Jeremy Hunt said today that Brexit is creating a high-wage, high-enterprise economy.
The government's own Office for Budget Responsibility today say it's actually set to reduce the UK's productivity by 4%, with trade down by 15%, compared to if we had stayed in the EU. #Budget23

When I was a kid the teachers went on strike.
I don’t remember much about those occasions.
But I do remember the time that they gave up for school football matches on a Saturday, moonlit rambles on residential, France trips to speak the lingo, evening shows and swimming galas🙏

A powerful female politician resigns: she was unfulfilled because she never became a mother.
A mother disappears: she was a hormonal (“hysterical”)alcoholic.
A headteacher is murdered: she emasculated the husband who killed her.
This is 2023. Misogyny is alive and well. xitter.gq/emmavj/status/16261332…

Fall behind on your gas bill and they break in to fit a prepayment meter. Fall behind on your £3.7m tax bill and they make you chancellor of the exchequer.

It feels increasingly like it’s the living standards of ordinary people being sacrificed in the name of tackling inflation whilst others are left completely free to charge inflated prices and make excessive profits.

This govt is scared of water companies dumping sewage exposing that due to Brexit they can’t get hold of chemicals needed to treat raw sewage… So the govt turn a blind eye while the sewage dumps into our waters increase by (and this is incredible) 2,900% in 5 years.

I suggest a poster campaign to remind them how they voted.
Maybe something like this?
I’m sure a few hundred posted around their constituencies will make sure they don’t forget again, & to realise that neither will we.

Bletchley Park was run by historians (Hinsley, Briggs), classicists (Knox, Adcock), musicologists, papyrologists, pure mathematicians (Turing, of course) — people whose degrees would fail Sunak’s test, yet who did more for this country than any number of well-paid City analysts

Tragic news
The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...
