If you haven't been out to vote yet, please do! You've got just less than 3 hours to do it. If you can't decide who you hate the least, then spoil your ballot or if you hate one, vote for the party that stands the best chance of stopping them! Just please use your vote. #Election

Had a fab night in Chorlton watching @ManchesterVocal with friends. Some beautiful arrangements with top quality singing in a great little venue.

British responses to “good weekend?” 1. Yeah not bad thanks, you? 2. Quite quiet, really 3. Seemed to go by so quickly, as usual 4. I need another one! 5. Not too bad, all things considered / I’ve had worse <usually indicates they had the perfect weekend> 6. Yes, apart from the weather! 7. Let’s see… what did I get up to? Can’t remember for the life of me what I did… <both stand there for ages while they think> 8. I managed to get out in the garden 9. I don’t really feel like I’ve had a weekend / I was working for most of it 10. We had people staying over <they will look tired and annoyed while saying this>

In 2012 ⁦@michaelgove⁩, then SoS for Education, brought in legislation which prevents councils from building special schools. He was warned this would have disastrous consequences. He didn’t listen. This is the result. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
How can a child in care cost £281,000 a year? Ask the wealth funds that have councils over a barrel...

Children crying out for stability are paying the highest price for Britain’s chaotic and exploitative residential care, says the Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Back to school and I've been woken by the sound of pouring rain and strong winds. Lovely!

It's true. So many children not getting the education they deserve and all school staff pushed to the limits.
