Tice, ‘You cut useless, daft regulations.’ Like those which enable cross-border trade or might have stopped Grenfell, you mean? #bbcradio4 @BBCr4today #r4today

Deporting torture victims back to the country they fled is barbaric. Safe routes, smashing the gangs, slashing the asylum backlog & working with other countries are complex but genuine solutions. #Farage #Reform are making unworkable & cruel promises #RefugeesWelcome

The teen has 3/11 teachers new to the school this year. This seems a very high turnover, but is this normal for secondary?

Your reminder that Scottish schools are back already and Leicester returns next week. So think about your back to school’ marketing. My teen has already spent inordinate amounts on upgrading her pencil case and folders.

When you discover your 14yo daughter can pull down 78kg (more than 12 stone), and is going to be doing gym training three times a week next year, so will only get stronger.

Ms14 wants to read The Iliad (she’s read a cut-down version of the Odyssey at school). Which would be the best edition for her? She has expressed a preference for a YA version.

Daughter watched pelota ;on holiday) and football like a player, not a fan. It’s odd for the Wolves fan (as she’s not a supporter) and alien to me (not interested in sport but very partisan in politics, so understand fandom but not sport ball).

A thread about St Anne, whose feast is today. In medieval iconography she's depicted as a revered mother and grandmother, with a special focus on her role in her daughter's education.

Unacceptable to refer to the ‘local indigenous population’ in an item about housing asylum seekers. That term is a right-wing dog whistle - it’s nonsense by any reasonable definition #r4today @BBCr4today

Wolves fan took the teen to a treetop adventure park. Next to them was a family from the US with a brattish male teen. At one point, his sister turned to him and said, ‘You’re the reason people don’t like Americans.’

It's the feast of St Swithun, 9th-century Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester. Since the Middle Ages, his day has been linked to weather-lore: it's said that in mid-July weather patterns shift, and if it rains on St Swithun's Day it will rain for 40 days. aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2017/07/that-t…

Hotel room stinks of dog. I’m allergic to dogs. Very noisy neighbours outside in a massive family group. Not a great start to my stay in Southwold.

Spent yesterday at another regatta. I don’t recognise the person I’ve become. Ms 14 won one race but had to change boats because the seat got stuck and fell in during her second race.

Can someone tell @InsideJigsaw to stop selling such lovely clothes and jewellery? My wardrobe doesn’t need anything new, but there I go, tempted every time.
