    They haven’t released the details but I am hoping these will be graduated assessments of some sorts covering specific aspects so they will account for loss of learning over the last 10 months.

    Glad to see there is some sense left somewhere. Only a matter of time until England follows suit IMO.

    I need to add Flat Earthers to the mix here.

    Things that annoy you

    Sensationalist bullshit like this that is so lacking in any awareness it’s frightening.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No I claimed Starmer wasn’t doing anything - and I still think that’s the case. Cov-ID has taken centre stage and the government’s disastrous handling has pushed people back to Labour. And while you may have a point about Labour’s reputation being trashed, Starmer was front and centre in...

    I see the PM has backtracked on the free school meals policy over the holidays, and picked a good time to tell everyone. The cynic in me also thinks it’s because schools won’t make it to the end of term.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It is a small sample, but it may well play out exactly as above in the end. It was assumption that allowed Labour to ignore the possibility of losing these seats in the first place, and it is equally foolish that they will just return post-Brexit. It requires more than a ‘under new management’...

    You could argue that the hospital infrastructure in somewhere like Cornwall is insufficient to cope with even the smallest surge.

    I’m not saying it’s Jedi mind tricks, just simple sabotage. On any ‘side’ there will always be a range of candidates that take a certain portion. The other candidates that occupy similar political space as Biden were pulled quickly and decisively to shore up Biden. Warren who would occupy the...

    Yes they are the facts at the end of day, but the gerrymandering was so fucking obvious. Bernie stormed ahead, they pull out 2 candidates to boost Biden and then leave Warren in just long enough to split the progressive vote so much that it delivers the fatal blow to Bernie.

    I genuinely can’t see what the attraction to D Milliband is. He’s a glorified consultant, and being honest I see more in Stewart.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Starmer offers nothing at the moment that will entice the red wall back. He hasn’t even apologised to them for losing them in the first place with his nonsense Brexit agenda.

    I’m glad Biden has won - and it will hopefully bring some stability to the country and world in general. However I agree with Brighton - I can’t fathom how anyone interested in looking after the American people wouldn’t want to be in for universal healthcare, given the amount of American...

    So yesterday we were informed that 2 siblings had a positive test Year 11 and 8 (they’d been in school Mon and Tues AM before going home unwell) We had to send home 120 kids right away based on locality to the students. We then found out a couple of hours later that some of the students we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Didn’t Corbyn start 25 points behind May? And he was shit apparently. Still not seeing any evidence of how Starmer plans to win back the North, hold on to the youth vote or offer any kind of meaningful direction on Green issues, austerity. He’s backed out of pretty much all his leadership...

    He just wants your bank account and sort code to deposit some funds from his wealthy friend/former general.
