Nobody with the slightest knowledge of education thinks English SEND 'reforms' are going to be anything but an unmitigated disaster. They aim to solve 𝙣𝙤𝙣-𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 problems of 'overdiagnosis' and 'over-award'. They will in fact exacerbate a real lack of provision/funding. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Are EHCPs really driving the SEND crisis?

Education, health and care plans have been blamed for an unsustainable rise in special educational needs in schools, but would scrapping or limiting these plans fix the problem?

I promise you that factual LLM use is often a form of plagiarism. I also promise you that if somebody accuses somebody of plagiarism based on vibes: the accuser is often the problem, especially if they used AI (which includes AI detection tools) to make the accusation.

Plagiarism is not as they describe and weaponise it — and also they are probably deeply entangled with and actively using the products of AI companies (e.g. Cofnas used ChatGPT to make up "claims" about Arday), which are literally the epitome of plagiarism. 16/

Possibly 'on y (verb)' only exists as an imperative form, hence the lack of a past tense?

Like the way you often hear "on y go" but never "on y went" 🙃 (possibly avoided because it sounds Welsh)

23/23 That is my takeaway from this. The moment private political actors begin physically interfering with SAR operations, the Coastguard / rescue services now has another threat to manage. And every additional threat consumes attention and assets and endangers more lives.

This definitely needs more publicity.

Pay attention Reform voting pensioners, when Nigel says he wants to cut benefits he means he wants to abolish your pension.

NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Even worse is that when, in desperation, private assessment is sought because e.g. the person is suicidal, the NHS still won't treat — or even accept the validity of private assessment's findings — implying that paying for assessment buys you a false diagnosis.

OBVIOUSLY the underlying issue of radicalisation amd anti-social behaviour needs addressing. but one way to do that is to stop "fash agitator" being a fucking paying job.

According to Merriam-Webster a terrorist is defined as ”a person who uses or advocates violence, destruction, and fear to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals”. Daniel Thomas is a terrorist, not a protestor, and if you support him, you support terrorism. bsky.app/profile/news...

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

Sept 2021: climate activists sat in the road at the Port of Dover. Kent Police arrested 39. Sept 2026: ~200 masked far-right men blocked the same port for hours, jammed the A20 for four miles, painted a slogan on the road. Arrests: zero. Same force, same port, same conduct, we have harsher laws now.

How did a masked far-right mob block Dover for hours without a single arrest?

Plus the dramatic collapse of Kent's council reorganisation, a Tory split at County Hall, and the week across the county
