At the heart of the #examshambles is a double disgrace; one, the social and racial profiling that led to the conclusion that only "good schools" (white, well-off) get good results, and two, the conclusion that people who challenge that prejudice shouldn't get the chance to try.

In solidarity with our Championship colleagues @JamTarts, we will boycott all training until at least the 24th August until these restrictions are lifted.
Translation: there's a readers' boycott and we're panicking.
As a member of the extended railway family I ask you to boycott the Sun 'newspaper'

This is the weakest cabinet in memory because the only criteria for membership are loyalty and subservience. So we have Williamson trying to deal with difficult issues like this rather than smart people like Gauke and Stewart who were forced out the party let alone the cabinet.

I never voted for Scottish independence at the last referendum, as I believed in a strong Scotland within the UK & EU. That’s what we were promised. It was a lie. The UK Union is dead. Independence is now the only option. No more tories lies, we want out. #indyref2
By showing better decisions can be made in Scotland the SNP have delivered for pupils, parents and teachers and demonstrated why the Scottish Government should make all major decisions in future. My column in today's @ScotNational #independence #indyref2 thenational.scot/news/18652800.…

Our aircraft have safely landed @GPAPassenger but, unfortunately, due to low cloud outside of safety limits at #Edinburgh, we could not carry out the flypast over the city. Weather particularly challenging in parts of the UK today - meaning this could impact plans. #RedArrows

“It’s the morally right thing to do”. Admissions tutor at Worcester College, Oxford explains why they’ll respect all offers made & ignore grade downgrades affecting 1/4 of state school applicants but only 1/10 private school applicants. Will others use this approach? @BBCr4today

What does #academictwitter think about a tutor making their students complete a Myer Briggs test and share results with the class; in addition to sharing a photo of their home work spaces?
I have strong feelings about this, your thoughts? @AcademicChatter #AcademicChatter

If you're university alumni, email your subject or college admissions tutor to ask them to honour all offers to state school candidates who missed their grades. And if you're a donor, say you'll withhold donations pending action. MONEY TALKS 🗣️

The RAF's aerobatic display team, the Red Arrows, have conducted a flypast over Belfast as part of VJ Day 75 commemorations. Poor weather conditions meant the earlier flypasts over Edinburgh and Cardiff were cancelled. #VJDay75@ForcesNews
I went to an ordinary comp and the only route to university was good A-level grades. No amount of grit or perseverance would’ve magicked an old boy network to propel me into the career so accurately predicted by your startling combination of overprivilege and underachievement.
I fluffed my A-levels. Taught me how to hustle. First to get a place in Univeristy. And haven’t stopped ever since. Grades are great, but grit and perseverance win every time. 🚀
I have no truck with @PiersMorgan statement, it is unashamedly accurate.
However, he did vote them in.

Private schools exist to push mediocre rich kids ahead of poor kids. That's the product they sell. It's how they justify charging 5-figure fees.
It's about letting wealthy people buy their children a 20m head start in a 100m race then pretending they really deserved to win.

BBC Scotland readily platformed Tory attacks on John Swinney & SQA. It therefore has an obligation to pursue Scottish Tory MPs & MSPs over the situation in England and ask why their criticisms of the SQA & Swinney don't apply to Gavin Williamson & Ofqual?

Here's the data science behind the infamous algorithm. It was intended to account for inequality but the modelling is sociologically crude & therefore incapable of recognising achievement where it was unanticipated but rewarded it where it was expected:

Also, an important element of social distancing is seeing service and hospitality workers as people and therefore your interactions with them count, and you have to be conscious of that.
The Scottish eviction ban is not as good as seems. It is simply an extension of 6 months notice period for most evictions. The ‘ban’ does not apply to those who have already been served eviction notices in the past six months and therefore is not a ban at all.

Every season, Premier League teams - generally the richest ones - start back earlier than others because of European commitments. Nobody cares. For the authorities to indulge this utter nonsense is staggering... as is any sense Hearts supporters should give these clubs a penny.
Hearts already well-ahead of other Championship clubs, them continuing training would be 'unfair advantage', says Morton chief Dave MacKinnon
