From Robert Jenrick's video - in which he did not see a single other white face on a brief trip to Birmingham, despite his video showing that he did.

"He must have been walking around Handsworth with his eyes closed" writes Dan Cave

Absurd. You basically get a building drive that doesn't answer the reasons you wanted it in the first place. This is a huge problem

Allies and soulmates of Trump may well become the next UK government. This why special needs parents plead with Labour ministers: do not take our hard-won rights away, from us or families who might face this in the future

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

You might have heard of 'dark kitchens' when a row of sheds in a car park churn out food for Deliveroo. They're unpopular and low margin. So the next big thing in London food is 'host kitchens' where local pubs, restaurants and kebab shops cook for big brands. www.londoncentric.media/p/host-kitch...

Why your next upmarket Deliveroo might be made by your local kebab shop

Rum stuff about SEND from two insiders here. "There's a lot of worry in the system," says one. No, there are a lot of worried parents. Who, as per the screenshot, know that targeted provision based on assessment is what SEND is (or was?). Which is why we're worried schoolsweek.co.uk/send-adviser...
