Extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. A devoted friend of the marginalised and dispossessed. A beacon of hope. An inspiration. What a terrible loss to the world — but what a beautiful, powerful and eternal legacy.

This devastating report disembowels the UK Covid-19 Inquiry’s core mantra that the key pandemic error was the failure to lockdown harder and sooner. It should feature prominently in the Inquiry’s questioning of Sunak tomorrow. Instead, what’s the betting it’s ignored in its

A genuine UK Covid-19 Inquiry would examine the censorship industrial complex which expanded during the pandemic. How the UK Government dealt with dissenting voices and silenced those who questioned lockdowns, masking and the Covid vaccine rollout to children. Particularly why and

Please take the time to watch this short clip. It's astonishing - both in the analysis Sunak quotes about the costs of lockdown outweighing the benefits, but also how quickly he is shut down for doing so. A turning point, I feel.

I am so pleased to see studies coming out to support something that just seems common sense! Hopefully with "evidence" now schools will make changes to implement less screen time.

"The former education secretary added that, by the end of 2020, there was 'unequivocal evidence' that closing schools was 'damaging for children’s education, development and health'...." TES As the only headteacher in the UK to point this out at the time (even though others

"The BBC was allowed to 'misrepresent' the risk posed by Covid to most people to boost public support for lockdown, the UK Covid Inquiry has heard. Prof Mark Woolhouse, an eminent epidemiologist and government adviser, lambasted the corporation for having 'repeatedly reported

I’ve come to understand a belief in god/the universe/something greater than yourself is a key part of health. A life without meaning is soul crushing and creates an over-active ego.

I've written my fourth book as a rebuttal to the culture of self-censorship. Many people are publicly silent about "off-limits" topics eg. men competing in women's sports, the rise in anti-Semitism, the Covid vaccines for kids (the list goes on). As the only headteacher, out of
