Bonus good news: the future of teaching looks really promising. Today’s stats show one of the lowest rates of teachers leaving their jobs on record. There’s also been a 13% rise in people training to teach, smashing recruitment targets in subjects like maths and science.

🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most. We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.

I lost count of the number of conversations I had with Michael over the last four years on this issue. He was a dedicated public servant and community campaigner to the last. I’m so pleased that he and the group were able to achieve their ultimate objective and save the ground.

I remain concerned that profit-driven algorithms are capturing and keeping children’s attention in ways we’ve never seen before, but I do appreciate the other views that have been put to me over the course of this consultation. (4/5)

Meta Ramsay was an indomitable woman. It was a privilege to serve alongside her as parliamentary chairs of LFI. She was a true friend to the Jewish community and she always stood firmly against antisemitism. My thoughts are with her loved ones. She will be deeply missed by all.
