"Labour refuses to use the #SureStart label for fear it suggests uncounted spending, but David Bell, a former chief inspector at Ofsted, is drawing up a report for them on the future of early years: it may look something like this" @pollytoynbee theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@pollytoynbee You would have expected the tory press be full of the massive success of the 15 hour plan, but silence, I wonder why?

My piece in @guardian about St George's Day, efforts by @Keir_Starmer to plant Labour's flag on patriotism, and my new book written with @mds49 being published this week: "England, Seven Myths That Changed a Country -and How to Set Them Straight." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Have a rollicking good St George's day and a happy Shakespeare's birthday today too.
It's with gratitude for a life well lived as well as with great sadness that @Humanists_UK has learned of the death of Baroness Doreen Massey of Darwen, former Vice-Chair & Secretary of @APPGhumanists, Humanists UK member for 40 yrs, & a valued patron. humanists.uk/2024/04/22/bar…

@pollytoynbee @joemiller862 @BBCWorldatOne For me, whether they benefit from public subsidies or not is immaterial. We should learn the lessons of history in Northern Ireland (as well as of segregation in the US) and ban schools that divide the community on grounds of race, religion or gender.
"The social destruction of austerity has created a health deficit that may prove more onerous to shift than the national debt" @pollytoynbee on the parlous state of the NHS & the problem this poses for Labour & the Tories #NHS #LVIPolitics #r4today theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@joemiller862 @BBCWorldatOne School’s not the place for worship, but is place to learn about all religions.Time to abolish all faith schools too: why are 30% of state schools religious, mostly Christian, when we’re a majority non-religious country? Court ruling today should bring total reform.
Central that everyone makes clear that @trussliz is entirely responsible for her own demise - no claiming @bankofengland OBR @hmtreasury bond foreign exchange or stock markets hedge funds, traders were responsible. She was warned so it is entirely down to her utter @iealondon…

@mousydogface @WilVoitus @pollytoynbee The United Nations (UN) committee that found the UK government guilty of violating the UN disability convention has revealed for the first time that its breaches of the human rights treaty were both “grave” and “systematic”.
The U.K. govt know this. All of this. Sunak, Hunt, Barclay all know that their refusal to fund the NHS properly through the winter will lead to people dying or suffering disability due to delayed treatment. They know this. For me this truly despicable!
They will instead be all about delivering the chance this county needs and which increased equality - and everything that flows from it - can offer. I should, however, warn that there aren’t three steps to this heaven. Something like twenty-five reforms might be needed.
Getting quite a bit of fan mail like this at the moment, but I do rather like the idea that I've gone "truly bonkers" over the last few years, I'll take that as a synonym for thinking the UK might do better than populism / reality denial.
‘Progressive liberal’ loses it ⬇️ By “it” I mean logic, perspective, critical-thinking, integrity, interpretation of facts, principled thought etc. etc. The man has gone truly bonkers over the last few years. Should have stuck to being a trade wonk. Ah well.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji". Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days.
@jamestplunkett And even then - after introducing more effective prudential policies - would not be my 1st action. Leaving EU provides wider opportunity to introduce better regualtion in labour law. eg refocus 48 hr week entirely on HSE. Not vague social paternalism that jars with UK labour law.
