When Elton Musk owns Twitter, then that is just the incentive I need to quit Twitter for good.

I'd rather just be a dad and quietly do science than put myself out there in the media, get arrested, spend all my free time organizing, and all of it. It's exhausting and invasive. But it's the least I can do, for my kids and for this Earth. We need a billion climate activists.

Jonathan Gullis repeatedly demanded my resignation in House of Commons education debates. He even offered to clear out my office at the NEU. Now he is no longer schools minister I am very happy to return the offer and to help him clear out his office at the DfE.

Dear Ms Braverman We were concerned by your recent comments about our product in which you appeared to be condemning people for eating it. We are now further concerned by the fact that your security record is in doubt making you an unworthy commentator on our product. Tofu inc.

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943. Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil. US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off. A THREAD

Pleased to speak to a meeting of socialist activists in Westminster on the black leader of London Chartism William Cuffay (1788-1870). Hopefully a campaign for a central London memorial to Cuffay can be restarted. I'll post a summary of my remarks

NEW: Around 65% of the cabinet are privately educated. This is more than double that of Theresa May’s 2016 Cabinet (30%), and more than David Cameron’s 2015 Cabinet (50%). Just 7% of Brits are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society.

It will be most entertaining watching Y. Cooper serving S. Braverman's Rs on a plate every week, like she did last week.
The Home Secretary was forced to resign less than 1wk ago for Ministerial Code breach/security lapse - and still lots of unanswered Qs on breach. Yet Rishi Sunak reappointed her. How on earth is this the “integrity & professionalism” he promised just five hours before?

NEW: Thérèse Coffey has been appointed as Environment Secretary 👇
Good news that Suella is back. Finally, tofu-eating cultural Marxists can be rounded up and sent back across the Channel.
