Proud to be a co-chair at the launch of the Labour Group for Men & Boys this week. As a former teacher, mum of 3 lads and so many fantastic men in my life I know that politics hasn’t always stepped up on the challenges facing men & boys. Time to do better. Time to change that

We did it… we only bloody did it! #ncfc

@MFW_NCFC Interesting - the most disturbing thing is how difficult it is to refute this theory. The (now shelved? But revivable?) CR development plans would seem to align with the model, as the increased expenditure on infrastructure would allow additional spending on the playing squad.

An interesting take on a possible planned strategy for #ncfc… Could League 1 really be it? 😬

"It's not burnout. It's despair." This phrase has come up again and again in coaching conversations with school leaders lately. It has weight. It has truth. 1/

In today’s education news… the education secretary has been talking about giving headteachers training to avoid talking down to parents, which I think is important but there also has to be some accountability for a small minority of parents who seem to abuse teachers.

Liam Manning OUT. Ben Knapper OUT. Neil Adams OUT. Zoe Webber OUT. Changes aplenty need to be made at this Football Club and they need to be made NOW. Enough is enough. #NCFC

Knapper and Manning need to go tonight. This is dire. Sleepwalking to league one

Sacking Manning is only part of the solution if Knapper goes too. Knapper has even less credit and proven ability to do something, it is a scandal if he survives this. #ncfc

In German football, a sporting director is always held up to public scrutiny, just as much as the head coach. They give weekly press conferences and are very much expected to explain and justify choices and decisions. In England, well, not so much. #NCFC

Was the bit of money worth it? We’ve lost a proud 16 year record against Ipswich Town and a part of that came from the decision to sell one of our only creative players to Ipswich Town. Ben Knapper is an utter disgrace. He should be gone in the next week. #NCFC

This is the crux of the modern game. The soulless gargoyles in charge don't understand that nobody turns up to watch a match like hapless consumers. It is not a cinema seat. We are not tourists. We turn up to see each other, to moan, to cheer, to talk. It is our space not yours.
