I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Day 1 of @taskmaster.tv advent calendar.. Tabitha decided to help, & while I was sorting out @alexhorne.bsky.social books, she had solved it and put her foot through the day 2 door and no others!

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

This is a brilliant threat on some great changes made by a great minister … Barbara Castle.. despite death threats and the fact she was ‘only a woman’!
This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!
Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!
This was done despite fierce opposition.

Think this is why the orange one is so pissed off about it! Can’t have his subjects having access to reality.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.
