The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Since the May elections Reform UK Ltd has lost (resigned, fired, left the party) 36 councillors at least.
At an average cost of £25,000 per by-election that means they have cost the country £900,000
What a waste of money, how many schoolmeals would that buy for hungry children?

This is a fantastic programme. Not only did my pupils learn, but I was continually learning too!

I'm 17th century sources next. Will do Victorian Crime & Punishment next year - can't wait!!

#GenHour What books/websites do you recommend to learn more about ancestors who are non-conformists?

There's a book I use called UK Historical Timeline by Bertram and Smith #GenHour

#GenHour My names on that side are Christie, Reid, Donaldson and Weir

My Mum's paternal side is in Renfrewshire and Glasgow area too.

At present, I'm researching my paternal side in Lancashire. I started with this line first when I begun more than 10 years ago, but now researching "properly" 😁

Just finished Building on a Solid Foundation course with Pharos Tutors. Enjoyed it. Need to "pull my socks up" on a few points of my research methodology!! 😉 #GenHour

What is the general feeling about Ancestry DNA update? #GenHour

Improving the curriculum and assessment system We're inviting people to share their ideas for potential improvements to the school curriculum and assessment system in England.

And we’re off!

The call for evidence for the curriculum and assessment review is now open, and will be for 8 weeks.

As @beckyfrancis.bsky.social says, this is the chance for a national conversation. Excited to hear the diverse views, insights and expertise of all.
