The person in charge of our education system can't spell "GCSE"
As part of our once in a generation reforms to the curriculum, Key Stage 3 will get the focus it needs to be engaging, exciting, and richer so that more children participate and progress.
To do this, schools should not routinely bring forward GSCE content and options into this important and distinct part of a child’s education.

I form my opinions on an issue by issue basis. Can’t stand tribalism. I’ve never understood the lack of emotional intelligence of those who suddenly dislike anyone who dares to have a different political opinion on any particular issue. Common ground purged for a purity test.

So the Chancellor John Healey and the Labour government will scrap crackdowns on welfare fraud, but at the same time, allow HMRC to get access to raid taxpayers’ bank accounts.
Soft on the benefit fraudsters. Hard on those who fund them.

PERFECT TV?
I remember watching this at the time and it has stayed with me ever since. An incredibly powerful example of the futility of trench warfare. The final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth was first broadcast this week back in 1989.
Arguably the most poignant end to a TV show. They made us laugh for years and suddenly we felt what it was like to lose them.
We will remember them.
For our tomorrows, they gave their today.

No you are not. You are not even an ‘anti Zionist’. You are simply a fraud.
Only a few years ago when you were a Lib Dem you solemnly promised voters that a vote for you was “a support for Israel”.
You were a 34-year old man, not a child. You left the Lib Dems a year later purely and simply because they didn’t select you for a parliamentary seat.
If they had, you’d still be promising that a vote for you is a vote for Israel. You are a despicable, malignant fraud who would toss your own mum under a bus for a few extra moments of political relevance.

When you’re illiterate enough to put “losted” on a post on your main account, don’t be stupid enough to do it again on a burner pretending to be a Blade 😂

Yes, confirmed. US Central Command has conducted fresh airstrikes on Iranian military surveillance, communication, and air defense sites for a second straight day, in response to Iranian actions including attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has retaliated against US bases in the region. The broader conflict that began in February continues amid diplomatic efforts.

A couple on minimum wage, both working 40 hours a week:
Gross: £52,874
Take-home: £45,108
Child Benefit: £1,407 (1 child)
30 funded childcare hours: ✅
A single earner on £100,001:
Gross: £100,001
Take-home: £68,558
Child Benefit: £0
30 funded childcare hours: ❌
Losing those hours costs £11,890 a year in nursery fees.
So the single earner ends up with £56,668.
The couple ends up with £46,515.
That's £10,153 more for the single earner.
Despite earning £47,127 more.
Now add a second child.
The couple's Child Benefit goes up to £2,337.
The single earner's nursery bill doubles to £23,780.
Couple: £47,446
Single earner: £44,777
The minimum wage couple are now £2,668 better off.
Is this a fair system?

The words written for you by the Civil Service to repair the damage of your “employers are not working people” line won’t cut it.
The mask has slipped.
You and your Labour government don’t understand or care about small businesses or business owners.

At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

"Avrei potuto vincere la guerra del Vietnam in una settimana. Hanno continuato a bombardare le foreste per anni invece di puntare su Ho Chi Minh City".
Ho Chi Minh City (allora Saigon) era la capitale del Vietnam del Sud, alleato degli USA nella guerra.

Economically illiterate retards: if you can’t pay whatever wage the government sets, you’re unviable and should just close.
Poundland: hold my beer
Economically illiterate retards: businesses shouldn’t be allowed to close, think of the job losses!

Every single time a low IQ thought like this passes through your small brain, you should ask yourself just how much you’re willing to pay for your essential goods and services (and everything else). How much do you want grocery prices to climb? 7% 10%? 20%? Then ask yourself what that means for the people on the lowest rung. Would you be willing to pay 15 pounds for a coffee? No? Well then you’re going to gradually erase your hospitality sector and all of those jobs (that’s already happening, why do you think the same chains are on every street, with your order being taken by a machine?). Prices are bound by what consumers are willing to pay, that’s you, love.
Can you explain to us, in all of your wisdom, how businesses remain viable when they’re already at their price ceiling and the government keeps forcing their wage bill up?

Who remembers Labour coming to power 2 years ago promising 'a lighter touch' on our lives?

The tone is so weird in Britain around success. They want people to build things and create jobs but not actually get any benefit or gain any wealth for their risk taking. No mention of the 40 staff he hires just the houses. 🤣
