@northernassist And the 8.40 is cancelled. Quelle surprise

[Dr Beth Johnson @BethLJohnson]

@northernassist a platform full of people trying to get to work and school this morning and the last 3 ilkley to Leeds trains cancelled. Not even a platform announcement. Absolutely not ok.

[Dr Beth Johnson @BethLJohnson]

@northernassist Not what I’m being told at the station…

[Dr Beth Johnson @BethLJohnson]

@northernassist There are young people relying on you to get to school to do GCSE and A Level exams today - really appalling

🚨 NEW: Opportunities for the poorest young people in London far outstrip the rest of England, we have found.

Our new Opportunity Index reveals how the area young people grow up in shapes their life chances, with huge differences between constituencies across the country 🧵⬇️

@EqualitySusan You were absolutely central to making this such a successful celebration! Thank you Susan

@AndrewThorpe4 I’ll have a look in the cellar! x

[Lisa Allen @LisaTheAllen]

In the early 90’s I played ‘Sue’ in the first national tour of ‘Rita, Sue & Bob Too.’ It was surreal listening to Andrea Dunbars words again last night in her home city @bradford2025 What a wonder she was and what a joy to see the brilliant @KatMartin92 championing her work.
