@apsamuelson @bienbutcher They aren’t doing anything of the sort though are they!

In today’s education news… 70% of the 6500 teachers promised by the government have been recruited but the workforce has shrunk. Which is obviously down to the drop in birth rate and given the amount of messages I’m receiving about school closures or redundancies, the

@Mags_Johnwick @spanishpete7 Oh dear…..

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Primary teacher numbers down.

Secondary teacher numbers down.

Pupil numbers down.

The target of recruiting 6,500 new teachers looks increasingly like a fantasy.

When pupil numbers fell under Blair, teacher numbers increased and class sizes came down.

When Callaghan and Thatcher faced falling pupil rolls, teacher numbers were reduced much more slowly than they are today.

Yet @Keir_Starmer and @bphillipsonMP are cutting teacher numbers at almost the same rate as pupil numbers are falling.

The result? A system in crisis, the largest class sizes since records began, and a government failing its own opportunity mission.

Our ballot to #SaveEducation opens on 3rd October

More lies from Bridget breakfast clubs Phillipson. Did she even get a GCSE in maths?

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most.

We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.

@Bounce_BackLoan What a load of baloney!🤦‍♂️

[Moving Home with Charlie @moving_charlie]

Potential redundancies up 71% since Labour came to power.

Can anyone remember a worse government for employment?

Jobs are the central requirement for a functioning society.

This government is taking us backwards and down.

@PaulApp0505 @springsteen Great memories!👍

[Cap’tain Bob @BobTharin]

12 songs. One misunderstood masterpiece.
Born in the U.S.A. was released on June 4, 1984.
Here’s the album, track by track. - 11/12

Dancing in the Dark is a song you can hear a thousand times and still forget how nervous it really is.
It’s not just Bruce’s big pop hit.
It’s a tired, frustrated man who feels he has to change something before he disappears inside his own life.
The chorus explodes.
But deep down, the song is shaking.

Glory Days is the perfect song for people who think it’s only about the good old days. That’s exactly the point: it isn’t. It’s about the people trapped inside them.
Those memories you repeat too often because the present has become less glorious. It makes you laugh. Then it stings.

Happy42nd birthday to this album and it was the first Springsteen tour for me but by no means my last 😂😂❤️❤️

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Remember, Labour said the introduction of VAT of school fees was to pay for extra teachers.

There are FEWER teachers under Labour.

I’m Goin’ Down is almost cruel because of how catchy it is. You smile, you nod along, and meanwhile Bruce is telling you about a couple quietly falling apart.
That’s his gift: slipping a small private defeat into a song that feels light as air.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

I sometimes feel that this is the only thing politicians should be talking about. Why is @FraserNelson the only commentator pursuing it so doggedly?

[Paul @1ohreally]

@spanishpete7 So their recruitment claims ignore the thousands of teachers that have left the sector. The original claim was that they were going to add 6,500 extra teachers. They aren’t doing that.

[Paul @1ohreally]

@kokeshimum @CrowtherSi @tohonestycom They maybe mortgage free but they’ve still got to pay for maintenance costs so they still have ‘housing costs’. Btw around 465,000 over 65s already live in private rented accommodation & over a million live in council or housing association properties.

[Paul @1ohreally]

@moving_charlie I’m worried. It’s a scandal & I feel so sorry for the young people who are suffering. Should be on the front page of every newspaper.

My wife has made some coleslaw.

It’s causing a major argument in our household!😂🤣

I say radishes do not belong in coleslaw!

She’s adamant they do!

[Paul @1ohreally]

@MBG_95 @NeilDotObrien Because around one million are taught in classes of 31 or more pupils. But ‘free school breakfasts’ 😜

[CallOfDutyDailyX @TatesOofVlogsYt]

@Trader__007 It does merit its own inquiry. Over 100 independent schools killed off by the welfare party in their apparent pursuit of “fairness” whilst adding nothing of value in state and making zero provision for children priced out of independent schools
