By 'school' he doesn't mean the students, who staged a sit-in yesterday, and he doesn't mean the teachers, who are balloting for strike action and passed a vote of no confidence in the principal. So who does he mean? Just the head and the academy trust no doubt.
Behaviour adviser to the DfE just lying about what's going on for the past day.

Arson is when you set fire to a building or other structure. Setting fire to a flag after it's been taken down from a building isn't arson, it's just burning a flag.

Someone doesn't like his blatant lying being pointed out. Blocked by Tom Bennett

Lol your name is currently on a magazine next to a guy who hangs out with, and writes articles in support of, Nazis. These pro-Nazi articles were published in the same magazine your name currently appears on

Spare me your faux-concern about Jewish people's panic, you utter fraud

Starting to see this kind of commentary and people need to stop. Proof of vaccination for a flight has a lot of precedent. 'Vaccine passports' are not this though, the term is being used to mean domestic ID cards.
The UK is considering domestic vaccine (or potentially 'covid status' allowing for a recent negative test too) passports to cover activities such as going to the pub or theatre.

How easy is it going to be to present a vaccine passport in the US if you're undocumented?

244. Keir Starmer writes a fawning paean to the government in the Daily Mail, once again insisting on fully reopening schools as soon as possible.

Hard to pick out which bit is the most nationalist, is it the 'compete on the global stage' or the vaccine nationalism? 'education... Allows our bu...I share the government's am...

Good thread on just how bad things are in the UK and how likely it is they'll get significantly worse.

On what the government is thinking and what evidence they're considering, it is pretty clear they are prioritising labour discipline above all else. Over lives certainly, but also over capital accumulation during the pandemic.
Whenever there is a discussion of measures that can be taken, it is always about levels of lockdown, sometimes whether schools shoule close. What gets left out is the intransigence over sick pay for people supposed to be self isolating.

There's a more general problem, hinted at but not made explicit in this piece, that the framing of pro-lockdown vs denialism is handing over analysis of the pandemic to two extremely right wing narratives that don't even disagree that much.

Lockdown, as it existed from March, combined some necessary things (shutting down mass public events in poorly ventilated buildings) with completely arbitrary, authoritarian, counter productive stuff like banning people from sitting down in parks or going for long walks.
Lockdown as re-introduced yesterday with Tier 3 restrictions, bans sitting two metres away from your mate in the park, but allows you to sit 1m from a stranger inside a pub as long as you've both ordered a meal.

As usual fucking woeful that after a full week of leaks there's not even a list of the bullshit. Also, this looks like it's similar to the rules Ireland has had for months.

Ireland's rules said you can only enter a pub if you're served a 'substantial meal', defined as more than €9. Substantially food based may not include the meal requirement though who knows.

irishpost.com/news/pubs-reop…
Confirmed: Tier 3 is same rules as Ireland:

"Pubs and bars... can only remain open where they operate as if they were a restaurant - which means serving substantial meals, like a main lunchtime or evening meal. They may only serve alcohol as part of such a meal."
