Following on from yesterday’s photos here is footage of the graduation of Thompson intake yesterday! Congratulations to everyone!

1/2 When Michaela opened in 2014, only a small handful of schools believed in focussing on knowledge and excellent behaviour in the classroom, backed by systems and cognitive science. Thankfully the last decade has seen a number of schools change their minds on what works.

How much better would the world be if we had a few more like Alastair Stewart a remarkable and decent man.

An excellent initiative that complements the work the National Spitfire Project is doing to remember all those who built, flew and maintained the iconic Spitfire in its home city of Southampton.

Yes Jess Phillips I wasn’t at the debate yesterday, I was at the hospital. Your colleagues know I’ve been away from Parliament for medical reasons, but you chose to attack me. So much for standing by women. Our Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Women spoke and did an excellent job.

This thread is so disturbing. I simply don’t understand people who think this is justified. She wrote a tweet! How do we not see this?

Such sacrifice — for a problem you and your colleagues on both sides of the House created in the first place — really is amazing. And working at the weekend is beyond the call of duty. I don’t think anybody has ever done that before. But while we’re at it can you explain why

Coming from a military family, with a father who served the entirety of the war, VE Day is especially poignant. Today I remember his service, and the countless others who fought for freedom. #VEDay #LestWeForget

As we mark #VEDay80, National Spitfire Project continues its fundraising for a permanent memorial to the Spitfire, on Southampton’s waterfront - the aircraft’s hometown. Proud to have support from Alastair Gibson and his stunning carbon fibre Spitfire. See more: carbonart45.com/blogs/news/nat…

How does British Airways survive? I have spent all day trying to book a flight. I've been locked out, kicked and finally, after paying, this? Is it any wonder people are moving to other airlines. Just dreadful.
