Rooting for our pal, Graeme Thomson, running the #LondonMarathon2024 in support of a dear man, John Brandham, who was a road crew member for @suedeHQ & @ThePretendersHQ b4 suffering a debilitating stroke a few years ago. Help him hit his goal! #bbcmarathon justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

There was something very odd in the PM’s speech last night - something which infuses RE in the primary school curriculum too: the idea that everyone in this country is religious in one way or another, when we know from polls that over half the population is not religious. 1/7

one thing this thread doesn't mention which seems relevant is that Badenoch is Gove's protégé and has Murdoch's blessing.

Dear @O2 as this is the only way you seem to engage with me: You have still not reimbursed the £300 owed to my mother as she was scammed whilst in hospital for stomach surgery due to bowel cancer. 1/

When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things.
• State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs.
• If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.

2016: Andrea Leadsom, "We would continue to trade tariff free.. We do not want to be in the Single Market, we want to trade tariff free with the European Union"
2024: Andrea Leadsom, "There are increased checks at the border because you're not in the Single Market. That is absolutely known about ever since 2016"

Last year #KemiBadenoch instructed @Ofstednews to investigate a school because she thought a pupil was “identifying as a cat’. Remarkably, the inspectors carried out a detailed inquiry at the school and discovered that no pupil identified as a cat. She’s a Cabinet minister.

I've had someone in my DMs demand I delete this. People are amazing. My personal opinion is that I don't care what you call the show - these aren't my opinions - just thought it was funny and now DOCCY WHO is trending.
