St Andrew's University has fired Stella Maris as their Rector after she condemned the genocidal attacks by Israel on Gaza. Lets show our support for her, no-one should be punished for speaking the truth.

And please reflect on Ofsted’s role over this time. And what it’’s done. It’s something any HMI cannot be proud of. And Bold Beginnings was a research disaster. Damage done, Julian. Damage done.

My news cup truly runneth over, with so many tips coming in. But find myself wondering again about financial sustainability of my work, as per my pinned tweet. So, if you've ever had cause to value what I do, please do consider subscribing to my website.

Yes, absolutely. One issue, though, is amount which can be spent centrally on senior salaries, within the trust. Spending on highly-paid central staff certainly tends to be higher on the MAT side - almost uniformly so within larger MATs - than within LAs. campaignforstateeducation.or…

I have been privileged to be part of the ‘conversation’ around OFSTED reform. My seat at the table was given to me by Julia Waters. She confronted the system that caused her sister’s death and asked if I would like to accompany her, I welcomed the opportunity to play my part…

Great to see so many still supporting on what has been a miserable day, but there is nothing more important for ensuring the safety of all of us than protecting Julian Assange! His truth & integrity is what they fear! Let's remain steadfast! #FreeAssangeNOW

I hope one day I can find the words which will compel the Prime Minister to respond to my calls for a face to face conversation. What will it take for him to put 1hr aside to hear our story? Vaccine deaths & injuries are sadly VERY real The narrative needs to shift @RishiSunak – at North East, England

DEVELOPING: If you would like to see Julian Assange freed, simply like this post or say “free Julian Assange!” NOTE: Julian Assange’s final appeal in the UK is taking place today, and Stella Assange says it will determine whether he lives or dies. He faces 175 years in prison for exposing lies.

As the only serving headteacher or school principal in the UK to publicly question lockdowns, masking kids and the Covid vaccine rollout to children, it's had its challenges. However, I've also received enormous support. Britain's leading civil liberties barrister and the Free Speech Union are representing me in court, in 2024. I have received national media coverage in The Mail and the support of The Telegraph. The encouragement from the public has been overwhelming and I am fortunate to be followed by high-profile free speech advocates such as Jordan Peterson. There has been a huge amount of light in the darkness and for that I am incredibly grateful 🙏 Please follow and support my legal battle here: democracythree.org/a-battle-…
