These posts on X are from Warwick Mansell, who runs the Education Uncovered website, giving his take on Bridget Phillipson's speech. (See 12.23pm.)

Returning from @bphillipsonMPs speech on education. Interesting to see room so packed, with quite a few prominent ed figures in audience. Sense of government in waiting, perhaps. Substance also interesting.

Lots of angles, which will write about. BP praised Michael Gove's energy and sense that ed was at centre of nat conversation, which had been lost, tho stressed twice she often disagreed with him on detail.Labour refocusing on poverty alongside ed would be back to pre-MG approach.

Also interesting to hear Kevan Collins say that big element of his post-covid plan which had been rejected by government had been support for children's social needs, post-pandemic.Really significant dimension,that has got lost? Not seen point about his plan reported before...(?)

BP also stressed need for ed to support children's emotional needs, as children's don't learn well if unhappy. Huge issue in cases I follow.
