All true antiracists will condemn the latest efforts by Campaign Against Antisemitism to provoke a banning of marches against Israel' s genocide. Gideon Falter 's stunt last Saturday was transparent in its mendacity.

Choosing not to lift the two-child limit is choosing to not lift 250,000 children out of poverty and choosing not to ensure 850,000 children live in less deep poverty.

These are political choices.

Seems like Gideon Falter’s account doesn’t quite add up. We shouldn’t really be at all surprised because the Campaign Against Antisemitism (sic) have a long history of this kind of dishonesty. Tim Fenton has a few questions for CAA Campaign Against Antisemitism

Big news - and a real step forward - if true. Ultimately we need Ofsted to go - replaced by a genuinely supportive approach - but this would be an advance.

With the help of Ed Finch, we recently held our own Ofsted survey, 'Margaret's Bigger Listen'. Thank you to everyone who took part. The responses are open, varied and, at times, deeply upsetting.

We will endeavour to make sure your voices are heard.

We hope change is coming.

The Parentkind survey, as presented to the Select Committee inquiry, revealed that 59% of parents didn’t find Ofsted reporting particularly useful and 71% of parents said that Ofsted judgements didn’t tell the whole story. Hardly a ringing endorsement…

As I said yesterday, this week will be all about Ofsted (almost like I knew something was going to happen). The DfE/SoS are set to announce their “openness” to exploring new judgment methods beyond single words/phrases. But before we start on that, let’s step back a minute…

After a long campaign UsdawUnion have forced Govt to finally make it a specific criminal offence to assault a shop worker.

We must keep pressure on Govt to keep this pledge and get this legislation passed before the next General Election.

WHEN WILL THE MEDIA STOP FALLING FOR SCAMS?
Here’s the group, with bodyguard, at Holborn earlier, when they tried to disrupt the demo but failed.
They kept trying, until police finally noticed.

They also associate with notorious Niyak Ghorbani.

They’ve made fools of the press.

Sunak & media clapping seals attack the sick & stressed because they've never bothered to speak to someone who has been through the dehumanising horror of the DWP's 'fit for work' system.

So instead they say long covid doesn't exist & sickness is laziness.

Fact free cruelty.

This is the film that the fake anti-racist organisation that calls itself the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), tried to stop the public from seeing. CAA is a rightwing campaigning organisation. The sad thing is, some people naively bought this bullshit. Let’s get it shared.

There are some disgraceful attacks on our union's general secretary. Daniel Kebede has represented the union in speaking out against genocide and war. These attacks are an attack on the union and - above all - on all those who stand in solidarity with Palestine.

Biden and Sunak continue to offer Israel unconditional support. They call for restraint yet continue supplying arms. They refuse to condemn Israeli genocide, its use of hunger as a weapon of war, or its aggression towards Iran, yet immediately condemn Iran's response and impose

The North East has a proud history. We can have that again. At the forefront of green industry, a job for everyone who wants one, a world class transport system.
But only if we vote for it on 2nd May. As North East Mayor, I'll make it happen.
