So let me get this straight, this government wants fewer foreign workers in lower paid jobs…so basically they want British people to take the low paid “unskilled” jobs whilst foreigners fill the “skilled” high paid ones? #Immigration

Replying to @GillianKeegan
The vast majority of schools will be unaffected by RAAC. For those that are affected, we are working non-stop to mitigate any disruption to education, and protect pupils and staff. For more information, visit 👇 educationhub.blog.gov.uk/202… 4/4

"A reliable source has informed us that in early February, two months after the risk level was raised to high, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan remarked, ‘We just need to keep the lid on this for two years and then it’s someone else’s problem.’"

Rishi Sunak today denied underfunding school rebuilding programmes. This NAO report from June says the DfE believed £5.3 billion a year was needed to mitigate "serious risks of building failure" and rebuild 200 schools a year. Sunak gave funding for just 50 schools a year.

The Channel 4 News investigations team first reported on the concrete crisis in February this year. Great work from @edhowker and @JaneDodgeC4: "this is a disaster waiting to happen." channel4.com/news/urgent-act…

Let me help with that. Not a single river in England passes the chemical test, not one, they all fail, every single one. The ecology test? In 2009 25% of rivers were in 'Good' condition, 2016 fell to 14%, govt's prediction by 2027 that will have fallen to 6%. Shame on you.

I would like to mark the sad resignation of Nadine Dorries by fondly recalling the historic occasion on which she learnt how the television station she was planning to sell was funded, live on air.

Here's how Rishi Sunak's spokespeople responded back in March when I asked why he had failed to publicly declare his wife's shareholding in a childcare agency his Government had handed subsidies to. The Standards Commissioner has now found that he broke the MPs' code of conduct.

Performative cruelty at our expense.
A damning day for Britain. Today the Conservative government has proven, beyond all doubt, that they’re nothing more than an ultra rich National Front tribute act. Absolutely fucking despicable.

The alternate definition of the verb, ‘tweet’, as in, ‘to make a posting on the Twitter online message service’, is in the actual dictionary. No other social media app has anything like it. Imagine disposing of that level of brand recognition because of a mid-life crisis.
X is replacing the ‘Tweet’ button with ‘Post.’
