Today has filled me both with indignation and inspiration simultaneously. Indignation, because I witnessed the worst of 14 years of Conservative failure and the real consequences of cancelling the building of schools for the future. But inspiration, because I met the most

Lucky to join primary pupils from Haringey at the Emirates today for the launch of @SRTRC_England "First 11" project. The world outside can feel so divided and bitter... But the kids are alright!

"Children and young people are being exploited by Big Tech executives" - @DanielKebedeNEU in the @guardian today. Big Tech is robbing children and young people of their childhoods. It is time the UK commits to raising the age of social media access. https://t.co/siOy1la4nw

Following @Nigel_Farage latest attack on teachers, someone sent me over this "How to spot a Red teacher - now they're brainwashing tiny Trots" Sounds like Nige, only is from a different NF - the old National Front magazine 'Spearhead' Nige drawing from an old playbook indeed

Farage has been in the US (anywhere but Clacton) running his mouth about teachers again... Seeing as teacher strikes can legally only be on the issue of pay, terms & conditions it's clear what he will do as PM... attack teachers pay, terms & conditions. https://t.co/QGiNK3U5aJ

The real issue isn’t that we don’t have enough teachers - it’s that too many qualified teachers have been driven out of the classroom. To make teaching a job that is compatible with family life again, we must: - Tackle unsustainable workload: driven by large class sizes, high
Teachers change children’s lives every single day. Today, we're announcing new bursaries and scholarships to support talented people to become brilliant teachers. Inspiring the next generation and boosting opportunity across the country.

This.
I must have spoken to well over 100 headteachers across the country recently and they're all saying the same things: Many, many more pupils with complex SEND needs. More challenging behaviour and at a younger age. Too little specialist provision. Frustrated families. Social

Proud of our former joint GS, @cyclingkev for giving evidence at the Covid Inquiry today. Our profession went above and beyond to ensure continuity of education in truly unprecedented times. But it’s worth asking: are our schools ready for the next pandemic? In a globalised
“If we agree that closing schools was a necessity in this pandemic, for at least some time, but that it has had very serious consequences for young people as a result of that, then I think we should be prepared to invest to try and stop that happening in the future. We let

This isn't just about the price of things on the shelves - it's about what families have to take off the table. People shouldn't be surprised about the levels of anger in Britain - when the cost of the weekly shop is enough to spark a panic attack!
£98!!! At Aldi no booze included & only meat is sliced for a sandwich & a chicken to roast 6 months ago this would have been £70! Cost of living is just ridiculous 🤬

Lots of things can be true at the same time: 1) The antisemitic attack in Manchester was horrific and must be universally condemned. 2) Antisemitism is rising across Europe and the West. 3) British Jews are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government - blaming

40% of under 13s are using social media. They spend 35 hours a week using it. 30% of their use is driven by algorithm that takes them to extreme content. Billionaire tech bros harvest childrens attention for profit.
The minds of youth are easily corrupted, which is why the corrupt ply their propaganda to the youth
