Did you ask Krampus for an open access article exploring the importance of reparative futures thinking for reimagining education beyond the confines of racial capitalism? Thought so. Here it is! 🤘🎄🤘 ‘If Education is the Key, then School is the Lock’… authors.elsevier.com/a/1iI4a…

That’s a wrap on #BERA2023, very good times, not least at the pub over the road. Looking forward to more misadventures in the educational metaverse to come! Thanks to @RLuzmore for the pic 😎

I want to emphasise the scale of the cuts to the USS pension (broadly the pension scheme for the ‘pre-92’ University sector) and why this is key to the current dispute with employers. This is going to take a couple of threads. This first thread is on the cuts. #USSmess #UCURising

Ever wondered why schools are organised according to age? I wrote a book about it a few years ago & I’m writing something about it now. Chapter II of the book is actually pretty good on history. If you want to read it, let me know🤟

Hey @easyJet, remember yesterday when you tweeted that I should PM you and you would sort out my compensation claim for helping you with an overbooked flight, and you never replied? I have done my part, do yours and sort it out FYI @MartinSLewis

Hey @easyJet remember when I voluntarily left my flight to help a family who you overbooked, and you promised compensation but then never paid me? It’s been 3 months, I’ve filled all the forms, sort it out FYI @MartinSLewis
