‘Trump’s ceasefire statement says Iran has agreed to a “complete, immediate and safe opening” of the Strait.
Two completely different things.
Until vessels resume crossing the Strait without paying a fee to Tehran, it’s a strategic victory for the Islamic Republic.’

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”.

I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

So I turned down the brightness on the disk of the Earth a bit, but left the sunlit sliver and surrounding stars bright, because the human eye has a better dynamic range than a digital camera. It also means you can see the city lights in the bottom left more clearly.

I have recently finished listening to Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O’Sullivan - with whom I share so many, many concerns - so I will see if ca force myself to read it.

FWIW I think it is adults pushing to diagnose and we have been on this path for a very long time.

Youngsters 'incentivised' to get ADHD and autism diagnoses A review finds behaviours once regarded as normal are now being interpreted as requiring some form of intervention or treatment.

Another 4 months and another cohort graduates.

Less than 80% will be able to get jobs and so the numbers go up and up and up.

The problem is no jobs, not lazy people.

In my honest, the big elephant in the room regarding social media and young people is parental addiction.

To complement the other white men who are advising the DFE and Education Minister.

In a profession, where the majority are women…

And the we have a woman supporting the Behaviour “Tsar”, to make him a Behaviour and Attendance Tsar, after behaviour failed to improve.

It’s getting worse..

That second point was kinda my first point, yes...

I'm excited to see the make up of the Inclusion panel (writing the EHCP packages and national inclusion standards)...
We've got the token white man leading it already...

(2/2) ... and the working world doesn't take any note of that at all. The same for those with caring responsibilities for elders or family with more complex needs - there should be more recognition of the role caregivers, in any form, have and support to balance work and home.

100%

I am regularly astonished that my parents are in their 80s, I have two adult children with care needs and I am working full time.

I would struggle if my husband was in the office every day, not realising that these should be shared rather than mine alone to manage

Either carry on teaching after having a family or take on headship - and certainly not if the demands on them at home are great.

Yes, I am ploughing my way (slowly) though the white paper.

The thing about flexible working is it does nothing to address the imbalance of domestic responsibilities at home.

Without a significant change to the way we work, and the expectations of us to adopt a male pattern of workplace behaviour, I don’t see how mothers can be seriously encouraged to
