In 1971, 80% of British 7 year olds went to school on their own; today it’s unthinkable. As Meyer Hillman (who has died) pointed out, we’ve removed children from danger rather than removing danger from children – and filled roads with polluting cars on school run www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Who votes together in the new Senedd? Based on analysis of Senedd votes since June: > Plaid + Greens are the most closely aligned parties. > Senedd's Right Bloc (Ref+Cons) operated together 76% of the time. > Left Bloc was fully united on only 44% of votes.

I feel like learning new things about History is fun because you can't fit it all into any curriculum given it is History but at some point learning something new has turned from fun to "WHY WASNT I TAUGHT THIS BEFORE??" and I find that a super tiresome way to look at things.

Also out today: details of the local authority bus grant - this provides LAs with consolidated, longer-term funding. The bus fare cap will provide a welcome boost in passenger numbers, but it is the ability for long term planning & investment that will see lasting improvements made to bus networks.
