While teachers are striking and this government argues strikes cause more harm than a lack of funding, we have the Freedom of Speech Higher Education Bill back in parliament tomorrow 🧵1/10

#FreeSpeech #TeacherStrike bills.parliament.uk/bills/2862/pub…
Is that good faith legislation?

Something to help you assess the merit of the stories likely to appear in government friendly media over the next few days 2/10

Is this a meaningful contribution to the education debate for us? 3/10
With more context (now added to the post shared). We all need a grown up balanced debate 6/10
We need to learn lessons from the US 7/10 bylinetimes.com/2021/11/15/the…
We need to question motive and the benefit supposed to be gained 8/10
We need to ask why our Office for Student's Chair endorsed an authoritarian leader in Budapest 9/10
P.S. How genuine is concern for children against this backdrop?
As last bit of context here on funding since 2010 for schools

Regarding this thread. Going to append those from others who have shared vital context for all 🧵

Today a thread of threads on the European Convention on Human Rights. It is worth understanding what the PM wants to get rid of. I will be building it during the day 1/? 🧵
It has always been a target and it depends on stirring up more fury about lawyers and the EU. It is about freedom from liability for much broader rights erosion

Narrow focus on deportations is intentional and also misleading 2/?
Cummings signposted this very early doors. No point getting rid of the Human Rights Act if folk can lean on the #ECHR when the selective impacts on local workers and consumers mount 3/?

Are we all psyched for Truss to do her Cummings tomorrow?

Reportedly a 3000 tome on why she was right. Maybe with a wee bit of help from all the US think tanks she visited since resigning
Do we suspect they were not the progressive policy kind of think tanks? I wonder if she had a chance to catch up with Boris
Seems a very selective visit like Mr Johnson. Just when most of the Republicans are panicking about Biden's record job figures politico.com/news/magazine/…

This excellent thread on a civil civil service cull elsewhere looks like is fantastic context for all

Remember this excellent thread on the #FreeSpeechBill? Back in the Lords again on 7th February 🧵
I've spend quite a long time in a quandary about our slide in the country on human rights, while certain media obsess about free speech. Probably an example

theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Hint: That is not quashing of the free speech of people who want content removed from curricula

I wrote a bit more about that here buymeacoffee.com/TrialByTruth/w…
