We are proud to present Episode 11 of Season 15 of your favourite 'digital' pub discussions from the 'quirky four', filled with satire, humour (and more than a dash of sarcasm) featuring your absolutely fabulous, amazingly brilliant, witty and ridiculously talented 'Ab Fab', the delicious, delightful and delovely digital pub landlord (with the great hair do) podcast host Jonathan Starkey, with regular panelists Trevor Nicholls (the Gazelle), Mark Hartley (Stats Man) and Steve Ingram (the Raven, thief of shiny objects), the most muted man in podcasting today, (formerly Lycra Man, the Raven (C-Caw), the Patriot, Captain Crow, Captain Pugwash lookalike, potential Eurovision Song Contest entrant (but not from Russia) and lately Right Engle and Captain Circumference 360º) dropping in for a digital pint to discuss important national, regional and local issues, in a sometimes irreverent, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious but always entertaining way. The 'Flab Three' are back, along with 'Skinny Minnie Stats' for another lively discussion to include the Landlord's extremely interesting and humorous Roundup of current news stories from the daily rags and other online news sources regarding the supremely chaotic world of British politics, politicians and other points of interest.  The national this week is all about the pantomime season otherwise known as the Party Conferences this week with the Labour Party (oh no it isn't - they're the Conservatives in disguise!) and the local covers the financial woes of Cheshire East. With usual shout outs and downs we end with attempting to dip into the Raven's digital wallet to have a digital pint on him. This is a must listen to for everyone worldwide but also residents in Cheshire, MPs, councils and Councillors in Cheshire and all other public officials (in case we don't survive another week in the UK). Hope all public officials in authority are enhanced DBS checked? Cheshire Matters will be checking up on you. You don't really know who in public office you can trust these days!!!!!!! Join us for our often humorous but sometimes serious commentary and insights on these subjects and more from the best digital pub with the best and most deliciously witty digital pub landlord in the UK (the guest panellists, apart from Stats and the Gazelle, are extremely minor entities along for the ride).

It's time for the weirdest few weeks of the British political calendar: conference season.Host Ailbhe Rea takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the speeches, fringe events, champagne receptions and bad karaoke parties that happen at the annual Conservative and Labour conference, with the help of Emily Thornberry, Labour's shadow attorney general and a conference veteran. Two former advisers to Conservative cabinet ministers, Tim Smith and Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, tell the inside story of some of their party's best and worst speeches and some of their own conference memories.Mikey Smith, the Mirror's Whitehall correspondent, discusses the conference "gaffe" — and how he derailed Labour conference when he recorded the party's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner calling the Tories "scum."What's it all for? Why do insiders love it? And does any of it really matter? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every autumn the UK's political parties decamp from Westminster for the annual party conference season. From Brighton to Blackpool, Manchester to Birmingham, Liverpool to Glasgow, Britain's cities take turns to host politicians, activists, party members, journalists, and lobbyists for long days (and nights) of keynote speeches, breakfast fringe meetings, endless schmoozing, too much warm white wine and endless political intrigue. Is this where key decisions are taken and political history is made? Or i it just a gossip-soaked get together which serves no value?   Michael Crick, a veteran of decades of conferences, joins political journalist Marie Le Conte, former special adviser Peter Cardwell, and the IfG's Jill Rutter to reminisce about conferences past and weigh up whether party conferences deserve a future.   Presented by Alex Thomas   Produced by Candice McKenzie

In late February, the Education Policy Institute (EPI) released a research paper on the current plight of design and technology education in England, 'A spotlight on design and technology study in England'. The Design and Technology Association is proud to be one of the facilitating partners for this research alongside The IET, ERA Foundation, Foster and Partners Architects and the James Dyson Foundation.   In truth, the paper does not tell us much that we did not already know or suspect of the subject's current position in English schools; what it does do is provide a sound, data-driven evidence base for conversation, projection and growth. The subject needed this foundation on which to examine the issues in-depth and plan a strategy for development. In this podcast, we temporarily abandon the usual format of Designed for Life, and I spend some time discussing the paper and its possible implications for the subject with Dr Alison Hardy, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University.  Many of you will know Alison, but for those that do not, she is steeped in design and technology experience and has taught and led the subject in schools before moving on to teach and research D&T at Nottingham. She is also the founder and host of the Talking D&T podcast, which I highly recommend. This conversation forms a small part of the Design and Technology Association's plans to bring a debate about the future of D&T to teachers, subject leaders, senior staff, headteachers and governors, business and industry leaders and policymakers before we bring a clear message and potential solutions to the issues that exist to Party Conferences this autumn.So put those headphones on, sit back and enjoy Designed for Life - In conversation with Dr Alison Hardy. This podcast has been recorded with the help of our sponsors, The Edge Foundation https://www.edge.co.uk/ inspiring the education system to give all young people across the UK the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to flourish in their future life and work, and PTC Onshape Providing industry-standard cloud-based CAD to education  https://www.ptc.com/en/news/2020/ptc-onshape-education-enterprise-plan-available-free-of-chargeWe are indebted to both The Edge and PTC Onshape for their continued support. 

Reflecting on Party Conferences 2021 – What can we hope for in education?Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, last year's 2020 party conferences took place virtually with members contributing and joining online. Fast forward to 2021, and there was a tangible sense of anticipation at the fact that some party conferences would be taking place face-to-face once again.Here at Edge we've enjoyed a busy conference season, joining the Liberal Democrats online, the Labour Party in Brighton, the Conservatives in Manchester and the Green Party in Birmingham. We learnt so much from the chatter, the networking, the dangerous questions and passionate audience members – all of which would have been impossible to replicate online. Safe to say, we're now glad to be back, and looking forward to reflecting on lessons learnt. We're also unlikely to eat any more sandwiches for the next month, having consumed our fair share at conference…Why conference – what is the point of going?Firstly, given that conference takes a lot of energy, can involve a substantial cost and time away from home, it's important to ask ourselves why we should go, and whether it is a good investment of our time. This is a question we explored last week with colleagues from across our wider education policy network who also attended the conference, and it was fascinating to hear a range of perspectives. Many of us found conference to provide an important opportunity to expand our horizons and join the dots between different areas of education – similar to a ‘reading week' by immersing ourselves in multiple topics including “How do we fund an education recovery plan?” “The reform of assessment” “Bridging the skills gap” and “The future of work” among many others. By doing this, we heard about new pieces of research and became alive to a range of different perspectives – with teachers, students, parents, policy makers asking challenging questions and highlighting their lived experiences. For example, we heard about the difficult mental health challenges that young people have faced this year. We heard from passionate teachers about how much joy their work brings, but how difficult it has become to teach amid increasing timetable pressures and accountability measures. These perspectives and new nuggets of information are important in helping us expand our thought and in bringing better policies to life.Conference also provides an opportunity not only to join the dots within education, but to attend discussions on broader areas – transport, digital skills, the future of AI, and the green economy. After all, many of us often call on our own policy officials within Whitehall to better connect across government departments. So we must ensure that we practice what we preach and conference provided an important opportunity to expand our own thought and connect education to broader areas across our economy and society.Some may also ask “Why bother going to the conferences of parties who are not in power?” For us, it provided a chance to hear important counter arguments and evidence that highlights where current policy is not working. Impartiality, honesty and integrity are important qualities for all policy makers – so we must continue to hold government to account, stay alert to diverse perspectives, and ensure that sensible policy proposals continue to serve the needs of its stakeholders.After the past year of lockdowns and online events, this year's conference provided a particularly welcome opportunity to network in person, and to finally put a real face to the zoom name. Not only this, but MPs and their teams were visible and approachable, which provided a welcome chance to directly interact and share ideas.Some reflections on the main themes and shared messagesEducation at the core of a prosperous economy and societyThis year it was clear that education was at the core of all of the parties' vision for a better economy and society.At the Liberal Democrats conference, Ed Davey spoke passionately about the Liberal Democrats previously being the party of education, and their strong desire to be the party of education once again. Indeed, education was set out as one of their core pillars, alongside supporting small businesses and caring for our loved ones. At the Labour conference, education and the reduction of child poverty came hand-in-hand. Education also featured heavily in Keir Starmer's speech where he highlighted “if you can't level up our children, you're not serious about levelling up at all”. He also highlighted the importance of a “curriculum for tomorrow” and the importance of work experience, careers advice and mental health support across schools.At the Conservative conference, the headline message from Boris Johnson's conference speech was “skills, skills, skills” with a clear focus on skills at the core of the Conservatives' agenda for levelling up and addressing the impact of Covid-19. At the Greens conference, although in the process of updating their key policy recommendations for education, the party's key philosophy of lifelong learning was highlighted, where no one should be left behind. There was an understanding that the current curriculum and assessment system is too narrow and sets a third of young people up to fail. Instead, compassion and inclusiveness are crucial across the board. A holistic education that nurtures curiosity and creativity is needed and for this more financial investment is key. Importance of skills and lifelong learningIndeed, it was good to see the importance of skills and lifelong learning emerge as another clear priority.For the Liberal Democrats, policy motions called for every adult to have the chance to access education and training opportunities throughout their lives by introducing Skills Wallets. There was also an emphasis on local skills gaps to explore how different parts of the country can cluster expertise and build networks. At the Labour conference, Starmer highlighted the importance of digital and creative skills that are in low supply, and the importance of rounded learners, who can emerge from school “ready for work, and ready for life”.At the Conservative conference, ministers highlighted that we are on the “cusp of a skills revolution”, with Chancellor Rishi Sunak highlighting his ambition for “good work, better skills and higher wages”.At the Green conference, the party stressed the importance of subjects such as the arts and music, which should complement a STEM education rather than replace it. After all the creative sectors is one of our country's greatest exports, as well as being hugely beneficial for individuals.Given the changing nature of work and increasing megatrends such as automation, the move towards net zero and the implications of Brexit and Covid-19, the world of work will continue to change and initiatives to support skills and lifelong learning will be needed more than ever before. Here at Edge, we will continue to push hard for this through our Skills Shortages bulletins.Reform of AssessmentWe were also surprised by the strength of debate around assessment reform, and the opportunity to reform assessment alongside curriculum and pedagogy. This is something we are particularly passionate about at Edge, alongside a number of other organisations including Rethinking Assessment, the New Era for Assessment, NCFE, the National Baccalaureate Trust. Appetite for reform is clearly growing, and we must seize this momentum for change. The use of narrativeWe also saw discussions explore the use of narrative in the sector. For many, phrases such as a ‘broken' education system, reference to “snowflakes”, the “lockdown” generation or “low skills” suggest negative connotations, and many agreed on the importance of using more thoughtful language, to highlight the excellence work taking place across the sector. We also saw the re-emergence of terms such as “vocational” a term that hasn't been popular for a while now – and it is good to see vocational skills re-emerging as part of the broader skills debate.There was also a broad desire for us to now use bolder, more urgent messaging around education. Many agreed that education is often seen as the “political football” that is often politicised or tossed about – but we can no longer afford to do this.Importance of evidenceDiscussions also highlighted the importance of research and evidence in guiding sensible policy decisions in education. Indeed, this was referenced multiple times by the new Secretary of State for Education, Nadhim Zahawi who said “I promise you that I will be led by evidence in the decisions that I take. We will relentlessly focus on what works.” We hope that this offers the sector an opportunity to work with policy makers on sensible policy proposals, based on rigorous research and data.

This week is all about politics (with a touch of Kylie Minogue).

Simon Alvey, Will Cooling and Notts County's very own Dr Luke Middup return to not talk about the party conferences. They talk about Newcastle United, ethics of international trade, when Gordon Brown was at his hottest, the supply chain crisis, the ideal brexiter immigration policy, and whether the British Greens should be doing better. But they do not talk about the party conferences....except for the brief moments that they do. 

This week on the podcast we're looking ahead to the comprehensive spending review and proposals to lower the graduate repayment threshold. We also discuss party conference season, a new index on graduate outcomes and we discover the posters that were on everyone's walls as a student. With Diana Beech, Chief Executive Officer at London Higher, Aashish Khadia, Director of Planning at the University of Leicester, Debbie McVitty, Wonkhe's Editor, Mike Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at Nottingham Trent University, and presented by Wonkhe's Editor in Chief Mark Leach.

There was no love lost between the Green Party and National Party at their weekend party conferences. The Greens accused National of despicable and lazy politics, but leader Judith Collins says the Greens should be more worried about themselves. Here's political reporter Charlie Dreaver.

Join us as we review the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrats party conferences and consider the key themes, which include working towards decarbonisation for a green transport network in the North.

Last weekend's Act Party conference attracted plenty of media coverage but not many bums on seats. Meanwhile, pundits have pondered if the party has any future - and if the leader appearing on Dancing With the Stars was a good move with his party disappearing in the polls.

We’re in the midst of political party conference season and we've already had more headlines and drama than most years... But apart from politicos and journalists gossiping about party splits, are the party conferences actually offering any answers to the problems this country faces?
