It's not just dissapointing, it's cowardly and stifling growth to appease right-leaning older voters.

This is a very disappointing response that does little to help the millions of students already struggling with student loans! My view on the govt's reponse today to the Treasury Committee student loan report...

An ex-student stopped me whilst walking my dog to tell me he's in year 10 now and he chose History as one of his options and to say hi. I do wish secondary teaching provided better work conditions at times

Pleased to announce that a fortnight after vowing to never buy a coffee at work again, I've saved £11.50. Not the 100k house deposit I was promised, but only 8,600 fortnights left until I have!

Bluesky teacher hivemind, I'm looking for examples of concepts in any subject that learners find tricky to grasp, and the creative, amusing, concrete or multisensory ways you've come up with to teach them. It's for a book I'm writing atm. Thanks in advance! Please repost. #EduSky

My mum had breast cancer 5 years ago and has lost 41kg this year through exercise so is taking this challenge on and has started training. If you're got even £1-£5 she'd be so grateful as she wants to reach the goal to get a medal! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/karens-...

The NEET discussion vs how pensioners are discussed in British journalism is such a good argument for the importance of Media studies I might even use it as an example in a careers powerpoint

This Reform Political Party broadcast feels wildly exploitative of the death of an MP.

When you look at how much is spent on housing benefit that subsidises the private rent industry vs the amount being spent on new house builds this becomes a pretty obvious position to take. It's not rent controls *or* new builds - the two must be implemented together

Renters' Reform Coalition@rentersreformco.bsky.social · 3w ago

What would you do with an extra £1000 a year? Good to see MPs lobbying Angela Rayner on this - rent controls must be part of the cost of living response. To add your voice, contact your MP here: rentersreformcoalition.eaction.org.uk/rentcaps www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Not Dolly Parton! What an incredible woman.

Dissapointing to learn that Richard Tice is from my town. Maybe it is a silver lining that Reform MPs don't stand in local areas they actually know

I've started watching Industry (HBO) and have nobody to talk about it with!!!

Watched the ADHD documentary and god, you'd make a killing if you just produced media that wasn't unnecessarily polarising wouldn't you

I appreciate lots of people on here aren't tiktok users, but I refute any claim British journalism is a completely lost cause when @zoebread.bsky.social is doing god's work harassing companies using that warehouse in the housing estate in Wigan

Searching for a new place to live is probably in the top 2 most bleak finance related experiences you can have at the min
