The teacher strikes this week are very definitely your fault Rishi.
You could have published the Review Body reports and started talks with the unions.
Instead you say you will ignore them.
You are ignoring the crisis in our schools.

Solidarity to all teachers on strike today and to others not crossing the picket lines.
Publishing the STRB report was definitely in the public interest of all those parents who have been put out this week.

We are ready. Rishi and Gill you have 2 days to sort it out. #PayUpRishi

[NEU Northumberland @NEUNorthumbria]

This really shouldn't be necessary, but this week we will take 2 more days of strike action. It is time to #PayUpRishi and invest in our schools. Over to you, @RishiSunak

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

Don’t be a hypocrite Rishi.
You said you’d honour Review Bodies even if they were more than you wanted.
Now you plan to give teachers even less.
It’s not on Rishi.

It’s your final chance #PayUpRishi

Teachers really don’t want to have to strike in July, but this timeline shows that they have been given no choice. @GillianKeegan needs to do her job and negotiate so that we can save the education system in this country.

Please share!

Listening to @CornwallRE Dr David Hampshire talking about analysis of SACRE's annual report. #NASACRE2023 @NASACRE 91% of SACREs had some sort of support (clerk, RE/CW advisor). 78% stated they had some sort of funding from the LA. 48% gave figures. @RE_Hubs @areiac @RECouncil

It was great to be part of the panel and to raise women’s issues. #NEUDisabledMembers2023

Keep talking - the more we share the more we can support each other and our pupils #NEUDisabledMembers2023

Great to be able to share about my experiences with invisible impairments at #NEUDisabledMembers2023

📣I HAVE VOTED 🗳️

I have just voted to #SaveOurSchools and sent a message to @GillianKeegan.

It's time for this government to #PayUp.

Tell the @NEUnion you have voted here 👉https://t.co/8vfCJLjiJr

[Kim Knappett @ATLKimK]

@Keir_Starmer we are “disappointed” in you too.

[Niamh Sweeney @Niamhms23]

Why couldn’t you say you’re ‘really disappointed that the Govt has yet again demonstrated that it doesn’t #ValueEducation or #ValueEducators’ 12 years of no investment, cuts to support staff and education provision have led to this @Keir_Starmer

[Kim Knappett @ATLKimK]

Reject, reject, reject!

[Niamh Sweeney @Niamhms23]

Your deal does not serve children or teachers @GillianKeegan:

❌ No extra funding
❌ No plan for pay restoration
❌ No offer for Sixth Forms

This is a bad deal.

❗️Teacher vacancies UP 93% on pre-covid
‼️ Schools will have to make cuts to pay for your weak offer
