Grade snobbery

As I suspected snobbery has worked its way into this year’s grading system.

See this tweet from Emily Pettite.

Keir Starmer has waded in to say: “Something has obviously gone horribly wrong with this year’s exam results.

Nearly 40% of young people have had their grades marked down and that’s thousands of young people whose opportunities could have been dashed.” 

Just because a school has performed badly in the past doesn’t mean it will always do so and students can beat the odds.

Antisemitism in the Labour Party

Momentum have accused Labour of sweeping antisemitism under the carpet, by postponing an investigation into a report into antisemitism in the party.

They have looked at the report already and report member’s not being expelled for displaying anti Semitic beliefs, in some cases members were holocaust deniers.

Momentum believe that whatever your political stripe in the Labour Party you should always stand up to antisemitism.

I am saddened at reports of antisemitism in the Labour Party, as I have always believed it to be an inclusive and multicultural political party.

I hope under Keir Starmer’s leadership, the Labour Party purges these anti Semitic members and moves forward to be the inclusive and forward thinking party I believe it to be.
