Celebrating the 100th Birthday of President Jimmy Carter with our Upper Sixth A Level pupils today. There was cake, reading material, and a re-evaluation of Carter’s legacy. We also sent a birthday message to JC and added our pic to the @CarterCenter mosaic! #JimmyCarter100

Powers of persuasion. Biden states that the government will pay for the reconstruction of Baltimore's bridge and he expects Congress to back him. Due to Separation of Powers he can't do this on his own, but he has certainly applied pressure to HoR to pledge the money needed

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.

Another reason to like President Carter! #JimmyC #Gender #Equality #ACallToAction
This month marks the 10th anniversary of President Carter's appeal to end gender discrimination and abuses of women and girls. The Human Rights Program recommits itself to pushing President and Mrs. Carter’s legacy of championing women’s rights forward. #ACallToAction

#LabourParty #welfare #benefits #socialism how does this fit with the core ideas of socialism we have studied this week?
Today I'm setting out Labour’s offer to break down the barriers that have resulted in almost 1 in 8 young people out of work, education or training – the highest level since 2016. To grow the economy, transform opportunity and give everyone a stake in our country’s success (1/3)
