So which checks and balances would come into play? We don't seem to have many.

Proof, if needed, that nobody cares about our children.

They changed and started to represent right wing international concerns above UK interests. They aren't interested in us any more, although they pretend to be, of course.

Maybe stand for them, get elected then declare for Labour, or any party not of the right? Could work.

Nobody cares about us. All they care about is there being enough of us to keep the economy healthy. Doesn't matter what party as far as I can see.

Right wing media pushing right wing anti-science propaganda. Vile people.

We can't doomscroll but we can doomcontract deadly diseases.

People are taken in by propaganda misusing science. Challenge the media pushing the propaganda.

Tell them that they've never had it so good. The ones who voted for you will believe anything you say until their dying day. Which wouldn't be far off with no NHS either.

How many missed meals before civilisation risks collapse? Too few.

Unfortunately you can fool enough people to vote for anything, no matter the obvious consequences. Next the end of democracy by voting for Farage?

Yes. Labour won it by default. There was nobody else who could have beaten the Tories. A works experience pupil could have done the same. Maybe better.

We don't have checks and balances any more. If we ever did.

Politicians don't understand the need for enjoyment, so neither do Ofsted.

The only thing they can run is the country into the ground and into the arms of Trump and Putin.

Profits before education. Not a good look but the mentality of right wing extremists.

AI doesn't know the children, can't interact with them as a human teacher and only attracts the attention of politicians. More political interference aimed at reducing teacher professionalism.

Right wing media ruling out honest debate. About anything really, but especially about xenophobia and the ace of right wing propaganda.

Paul Simon, "A loose association of millionaires and billionaires" indicates who is in charge.

False equal coverage like this is another form of propaganda and goes against the remit of the BBC. Only happens when pushing right wing propaganda.

Timed instruction is the opposite of education.

1. Be a vile enough person to want to join Reform in the first place.

White and not left wing or woke. Make no mistake, they will eventually come for us all.

Walking away from X is admitting using such a media is inherently wrong. It will be sending the same message to millions of other people, "Use this media and you encourage the misuse of this media".

They run most of the media. The West has allowed extremists to control messages.

He doesn't care whether they work or not. He only pushes any right wing nonsense pushed by his extremist backers.

The education profession should develop it and define how Ofsted should assess it. Not going to happen as politicians rarely give up power.

Woke means being fully human. If you're not, you're not.
