I can't recall anything similar, but Churchill did love a war. More specifically to this war, I think he had a very different relationship with a fledgling Israel in 1952 than Trump does today:

I'm sure Turkey will be delighted.
As long as there is one Gazan left, that Gazan is now the leader of Hamas.
Israel is beginning to learn that if you destroy the apparatus of a state without securing a peace then you are forever subject to an insurgency.
Iran is different in that it had a centralised state...
It had one..
This actually could make sense; it just doesn't.
Hamas are relatively decentralised, the current Hamas is closer to an idea than a functioning state. Gaza has been consistently destabilised and weakened to a point that Hamas now is just a collective hatred for a genocidal Israeli campaign.
It just isn't our war. Trump yesterday said that he didn't intend to reinstate the family of the Shah, he would prefer someone who was already there; today Israel killed his shortlist. There's no possibility of military action in the middle east that doesn't become a forever war. No thanks.
4. Except we're building this on an assumption that's highly suspect at least. The @schoolsweek.bsky.social investigation into what was on EHCPs was hair raising. So much dubious practice.

1. The fundamental problem with the SEND white paper is it's working off the assumption there's lots of expertise and great practice available and the issue is it's too hard to get.
The underpinning belief is if this support got to children faster and without a fight things will get better fast.
This was, as was Daisy's keynote last year, an absolutely brilliant and eye-opening talk!
Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.
Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections
Yes they will. This isn't even close to the level of public and membership backlash of 'no one will ever trust Labour again' that the Iraq War caused.
Families, communities, religious groups and ethnicities often share voting patterns. If one party is perceived as an existential threat then you can guarantee a voting pattern against that threat.
You may also get the same voting pattern from outside that community from people who reject racism.
The theory is that Muslim patriarchs forced their families to vote for a party led by a gay Jewish man; and if they hadn't exercised this coercive control their wives and children would have instead voted to deport themselves.
This is not a normal level of cope.
Very interested in your talk; I'll most likely be there!
Presenting a potted history of Ofsted in Session 3 at @researchedbrum.bsky.social . Join me in the Library to look at missed inspections, missing schools, poor financial records, and misleading statements to Parliament, as we seek to answer the question 'Does Ofsted make sense?' #rEDBrum

Where good AP doesn't exist the conversation goes 'the child clearly has a need that we can't meet, so we'll send them to a school down the road which also can't meet their need.'
Without recourse to AP, what happens in other London boroughs is the trading of vulnerable children like Pokémon cards
There's also the reality that permanent exclusion rates are influenced by the quality and capacity of AP. Where good AP exists, as in Hackney, schools will make less use of managed moves and off-rolling.
Everything is about mainstream, which has been amongst the best in the world for two decades, hardly anything is about AP which has been historically neglected.
The thing that really disappoints me about the DfE under this government is their determination to use so much of their time and resources on things which were working perfectly fine under the Tories, and so little time on the few things we'd all agree actually need serious improvement.
Do we need a white paper for this? As the article points out, the Tories encouraged standalones to join MATs for over a decade; schools which haven't aren't unaware of the potential upside, they have made the calculation that it's not worth it for them.
Fully agree, it's good 80% of the time doesn't work if the person using it can't identify what's wrong the other 20% of the time.
What if the school is financially viable on its own and doesn't want to join a group?
Did Hitler kill many South Americans?
Does sort of beg the question as to what the point of these new reports are though, doesn't it?
Even if they were perfectly accurate*, the only people who'd ever read them would be being told things that they already know.
*If we could agree on such a thing.
I'm absolutely sure that number will fall further with the new inspection framework.
The LSE is the wokest Higher Educational institution in England?
Well I guess it must be true...
I've tried to get in touch with one of the guys who founded it.
It was such a great resource. If anyone knows Dom, I'd be happy to revive the site and host, share and manage it for free.
Delivery on that pledge is pretty good. As private rail operator contracts expire they are not being rebrokered but instead brought back into public ownership. Most rail operators are now in public ownership and the goal of having all back is on track for 2027

Exacerbating the racism and classism, while being totally unaccountable and opaque in its decision making.
'So we accidently reproduced the racist and sexist Amazon hiring algorithm in our desire to empower students' wasn't a reflective piece I fancied writing three years from now.
I did have a half baked idea that feeding in pupil recordings and using AI or some element of machine judgement might make it more objective and less prone to teacher bias.
It was not a good idea.
