Private schools are on the offensive because Labour looms – and their privileges are under threat | Lola Okolosie | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Outrageously uninformed student talking about our Marking and Assessment Boycott on the Today programme. The presenter clearly didn’t know his stuff and let the student tell complete untruths. Shame on Radio 4. @r4Today
Utterly one-sided. I am shocked. Justin Webb’s questions were filled with Thatcherite anti-union rhetoric.
Do dig in a little bit more. And let’s have a win in this case! crowdjustice.com/case/save-p… via @CrowdJustice
My Italian husband’s incessant critique of the monarchy is apparently the stronger for watching it firsthand and with fascianation! I have turned up the volume on Daniel the Tiger to drown out our dirge-like national anthem.

No one is seriously talking about Britain adopting a US-style constitution. Republic proposes a parliamentary constitution, basically what we have now but made democratic top to bottom. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Not helped by the foreign press’s unquenchable fascination with it all. Want an hour-by-hour guide to proceedings? See La Repubblica. Including vital news on the role played by Harry.
On a day where the country is kowtowing to inherited wealth and status, let’s remember and celebrate the radical history of Britain: utopian thinking, the Republic, Tolpuddle martyrs, Chartists. #NotMyKing.

I would like to congratulate the commissioning editor and people advising @BrisUniPress for their books in management and economics. I see a coherent, critical, brave cultural vision behind the list of titles they have been publishing. It is not common. bristoluniversitypress.co.uk…
