“Have you ever heard the dated snobbery from some Conservatives against the value of vocational qualifications and good quality careers advice? Of all the fault lines which have opened up in this coalition government, the one that has been most revealing is the way in which self-proclaimed Conservative educational reformers sought to suffocate almost every single initiative designed to instill opportunity at an early age for all children, not just some.”

Q: “Many people believe that Facebook algorithms fan the flames to lead up to the January 6 insurrection. Are they wrong?” A: “Yes.” Q: “Why?” A: “Because I think the people who are responsible for the January 6 insurrection, as the inquiry is quite rightly identifying, are the people who propagated falsehoods about that election, sought to try and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power in a democracy, and whipped up crowds of people to take matters into their own hands on the capitol. Honestly, we cooperated before, up to, through, and beyond with law enforcement. We have provided huge amounts of material to the January 6 inquiry. We had banned big groups like Proud Boys three, four years prior to that. We acted against the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement before January the 6th. Of course, since then, we've taken significant measures, including suspending Donald Trump for at least two years from using our platforms.”
