Today I turned 28 YEARS OLD. Which means 12 YEARS AGO I was on Educating Yorkshire. Over the years, teachers have helped me to push forward in all things I doubted myself I could achieve. Teachers gave me more than an education - they gave me a future. I will forever be grateful.
Wow - this was a brilliantly thought-provoking rabbithole to disappear into.
I’ve emerged with a great list of new books to read too.

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'

ℹ️ | We are seeing lots of videos being shared online that were filmed at previous protests or during previous incidents.
There has been no disorder in London this weekend and the videos are likely being shared to mislead or to fuel tension.

This video is currently being shared with false claims that it shows a group of Muslim men on motorbikes blocking a road in Walthamstow to confront far-right protesters.
The video is from last year, when a group of bikers blocked a road in London to mark the death of a friend.

We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.
A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21

UK providing a real-time example of how social media algorithms, including this site’s, foment hate and spread disinformation. As democracies we have to take action and hold those who monetize hate to account. Too much is at stake. @elonmusk

1/ 🧵There is another anti-immigrant, racist and unsubstantiated rumour being circulated online about the tragic stabbing of a woman in #Brantham, UK. I just wanted to provide some analysis of the emergence of this rumour, and the protagonists and sequence of the story. #Southport

This is great news - with some of the best economists I’ve ever worked with, including @johnvanreenen and @asvalero. Serious people joining the government.

This is from the press Office at Conservative HQ. It is not impartial. Pensions are already taxed. And taxes will rise under both parties because of frozen tax allowances.
The choice at this election is clear. Lower taxes and protected pensions with the Conservatives.
Or Labour's plot to raise your taxes by £2,094 and raid your pensions with their Retirement Tax. #BBCDebate

The claim that families face a £2,000 tax rise under Labour is misleading. 👇

We've written to @Conservatives to ask them to remove the “Tax Check UK" rebrand of @CCHQPress. This misrepresents posts on the account as an impartial fact checking service. Voters deserve better.
