Breakfast clubs funding ‘half a Greggs sausage roll’

Published by skeptic

More from this theme Recent articles ASCL’s president will today lambast the education secretary for promising “parents a nutritious meal and 30 minutes of childcare”, but expecting schools to deliver breakfast clubs “for less than half the price of a Greggs sausage roll”. Manny Botwe, the head of Tytherington School in Macclesfield, will tell the union’s conference that “many of us, I am sure, shared that same sense of optimism when the new Labour government was elected. He will welcome the “change of tone” from Bridget Phillipson, “and the attempt to build a more constructive relationship with the profession”, as well as its mission to break down barriers. Bridget Phillipson “We share that mission. In fact, it’s what drives us every day – it’s why we became teachers, why we became leaders, and why education exists in the first place. “So, in principle, the Labour government and ASCL are aligned. And as the voice of the profession, we have a critical role in ensuring that education policies are shaped by those who truly understand the challenges …

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Should Not Exist

This is an edition of The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. On New Year’s Day, while looking for something to watch, I came across a channel with a loud, gray-haired British guy in a nice suit and a scarf bellowing about something or other. I assumed that I had turned to CNN and was watching its ebullient, occasionally shouty business and aviation correspondent, Richard Quest. I wasn’t even close: It was Roger Daltrey of the Who, and he was excitedly introducing the new Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Peter Frampton in a condensed version of the October ceremony. Frampton’s music was, for a moment in the 1970s, the soundtrack to my misspent teenage nights; on the broadcast, Keith Urban joined him to perform his megahit “Do You Feel Like We Do,” and I remembered every word. And Frampton seems like a man who is genuinely loved by his …

After dominating the pop and country charts since 2019, Morgan Wallen picked up his first entertainer of the year honor at the 2024 CMA Awards, though he wasn’t there to accept it. The country star beat out last year’s winner, Lainey Wilson, as well as Luke Combs, Jelly Roll and Chris Stapleton, who won multiple honors Wednesday. Jeff Bridges presented the final award of the night, which comes weeks after Wallen earned his first pair of Grammy nominations. Though Wallen missed the show, Stapleton was the big winner: He took home single, song and male vocalist of the year. He also opened the three-hour event alongside Post Malone with their collaboration, “California Sober,” sang “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” with George Strait — who earned the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award — and strummed his guitar while staring at his wife, Morgane Stapleton, as they performed “What Am I Gonna Do.” Together, the Stapletons won single of the year for “White Horse” (Morgane co-produced it). “I am taken aback,” Stapleton said as he won song …

Harris to roll out populist proposals in first economic speech

Harris to roll out populist proposals in first economic speech

Published by skeptic

WASHINGTON —  Kamala Harris is set to unveil plans for a federal ban on food and grocery “price gouging” and assistance of up to $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homeowners – populist proposals the vice president has embraced since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. Harris is scheduled to outline her proposals Friday, in her first speech on the economy focusing on dealing with rising grocery and housing prices – key concerns for voters. She is set to speak in front of supporters at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a battleground state that she and former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, are vying to win in the November presidential election. “In her first 100 days, Vice President Harris will work to enact a plan to bring down Americans’ grocery costs and keep inflation in check,” her campaign said in a memo to reporters Wednesday. Harris aims to ensure “big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits,” her campaign said, and will specifically call out the “highly consolidated” …

Gilgeous-Alexander Has 29 Points to Help Thunder Roll Past Mavericks in Game 1 of West Semifinals

Published by skeptic

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was his usual self and Luka Doncic wasn’t. Gilgeous-Alexander had 29 points, nine rebounds and nine assists to help the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Dallas Mavericks 117-95 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Gilgeous-Alexander made 8 of 19 field goals and 11 of 13 free throws before coming out of the game with 3:26 remaining and the Thunder leading 111-89. Doncic, an MVP finalist like Gilgeous-Alexander, scored 19 points on 6-for-19 shooting and had five turnovers. He bristled when asked about his shooting. “Who cares,” he said. “We lost. We just got to move onto the next one. We’ve got to be better.” Lu Dort got most of the work guarding Doncic, with rookie Cason Wallace getting some of the action and 7-foot-1 center Holmgren pestering him near the rim. Photos You Should See – April 2024 Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Dort, one of the league’s best perimeter defenders did his job. “He’s just a warrior,” Daigneault said. “Brings the …
