5 years ago today, hundreds of Islamists gathered outside Batley Grammar School after a teacher showed a picture of the Prophet Muhammad in a lesson. He was threatened & forced into hiding. 5 years on he is sadly STILL in hiding. This is appalling. We must fight for free speech.

It is unacceptable that at UCL today students are celebrating the Ayatollah who is an enemy of Britain, while gender critical feminists are being kicked off campus. The Education Secretary needs to take action or we risk a two tier system at our universities.

I reject the notion that we’ve have had an “over focus on academic outcomes.” That over focus has improved outcomes for so many children & resulted in English pupils climbing up international league tables for reading, maths and science. We must raise the bar for all children.

If reports are true the Education Secretary is set to announce a lower-level qualification aimed at white working-class pupils. That’s watering down standards for some of our most deprived children. If that’s the plan, soft bigotry of low expectations is back and it’s an insult.

The PM is wrong. There are 400 fewer teachers under Labour. He just needs to look at the DfE website.

Labour have spent months telling me that banning phones in schools was an unnecessary gimmick. A week ago an education minister said Labour had “solved the problem of phones in schools.” We did not give up the fight & I’m glad they have finally listened & u-turned.

Over the moon that the Gvt has finally listened & u-turned. This victory belongs to the brave bereaved parents fighting to protect other people's children, the health professionals who spoke out, & the parents who made their voices heard. Together, we did not give up. Today is a huge step forward for protecting childhood & backing parents, so they do not have to fight big tech & screens alone.

Lucy Powell is spearheading a campaign of national sabotage against our education system. Today’s PISA results put English pupils in the top ten in the world for reading, maths & science. This didn't happen by accident, it's thanks to brilliant teachers & hard won evidence-led reforms. The Education Secretary should think twice before taking a sledgehammer to that progress.

Performing irreversible puberty blocker trials on children is wrong. It’s madness that the Gvt have banned social media for U16s but believe 11 year olds can consent to changes that will affect them forever. This is what happens when you have a Gvt unhinged from any principle. Sign our petition to protect childhood:

4 months Bridget Phillipson has been sitting on teachers’ pay. Labour are making a difficult job to budget for schools, even harder. Phillipson, in her own words, is committing a ‘complete dereliction of duty’. It’s one rule for them, & one rule for everyone else.

Three times Bridget Phillipson failed to say when she will publish the long overdue guidance for schools on gender questioning children. It’s been 20 months since the final Cass report & yet she is still using this as a reason to drag her feet. We don’t need any more excuses.

If Burnham is serious that too many young people have been pushed to university & he wants to reverse Labour’s threshold freeze, then we have a plan to fix this. Our New Deal for Young People would deliver fundamental reform & I’m ready to work with him in the face of opposition from his backbenchers to make it happen 👇
