CARE is devastated by the deaths of two of our colleagues from our valued partner organisation, @Juzoor, in Gaza - Dr. Ahmad Al-Najar and Ms. Laila Jneid, who were both killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Aid workers and civilians are NOT a target. We call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for the UK Government to end all arms transfers to Israel.

Here, the usually irreverent + hilarious @MarinaPurkiss & @jemmaforte embrace profound pain and I love them for it. In confronting horror + grief, not whataboutting or distancing, it's the most rational news podcast out there. Listen if you can. open.spotify.com/episode/3qU…

In an era of compassionate assessment and feed forward, how prevalent are alternatives to the word 'fail'?
Standards or LO can be Met/not yet met or demonstrated/not yet demonstrated.
Thoughts?

NotebookLM generates a podcast based on source material + web links. Two voices discuss key concepts from papers from @NathalieKakoun & @Dr_Orb_II. There's even banter/ ums & ahs/ hesitations, it sounds natural enough to forget it's AI. Took about 3 mins to make. I have chills.

During the coming UK general election campaign we'll be bombarded with graphs showing polls, economic parameters, NHS waiting lists etc. Here are a few that I think should be front and centre of policy discussions.

The government doesn’t expand apprenticeships. Employers do. And they’re already not taking the bait: £550 million in unspent apprenticeship levies.
You can throw money at the problem to bribe employers, but each new apprentice will cost incrementally more.
If you're in Brecon, Radnorshire, Cwmtawe or Neath Port Talbot - help raise money for deposits for @TheGreenParty candidates Jan Dowden, Nigel Hill and Amerjit Kaur-Dhaliwal: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/npt-brc-…. Overtaking the Tories is just step 1 💚
The Green Party is now ahead of the Tories among under 30s.

This is important and timely research. Well done to all involved. @HEPI_news @joshfreemanUK @CRSP_LboroUni @nickhillman
Apart from the obvious concerns about the genuine levels of poverty that most students now face, it raises a host of other issues and questions.
🧵1/25
Today's @HEPI_news report shows students need £244 a week excluding rent and £366 including rent to have a minimum acceptable standard of living.
What does that mean for policy?🧵
