Listen to Our Lad @Sirazul211 , a Rohingya and Great Horton schoolkid, and support the @BritishRohingya and @savechildrenuk to improve live in the refugee camps, and make it so his cousins can come here to study too.

It pains me to say it, but Layla Moran is saying all the right things on education: more so than my party. *We* need an end to SATs, less high-stakes testing, and end to punitive Ofsted and an end to League Tables in *our* manifesto! #NEU19 #LibDems

[NEU Bradford @NEUBradford]

This shows the extent of the problem of #SchoolCuts . Headteachers have to run deficits or reduce the quality of provision - often both - and school cuts+academisation push costs onto councils.

The charity stall in Tesco's Bradford. 'School cuts aren't real'. #schoolcuts

[Great Horton Labour @GHLabour]

@bradfordmdc Yeah, they ended up emptied by the end of the afternoon.

[Great Horton Labour @GHLabour]

@bradfordmdc Any idea why #recycling collections haven't happened today on Windermere Road? #greathorton

[Great Horton Labour @GHLabour]

@bradfordmdc @CllrJoanneDodds Not seen them - must just be doing it in a different order to normal, in that case. Thanks.

Universal Credit is hitting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities hard, every day, and charities and voluntary orgs are doing their best to try support people falling through the cracks, but it's a drop in the ocean. https://t.co/Lt7lqJ0pRn

@cyclingkev telling us 'You need to have a vision of where you're going, so you can work out how to get there' at @SocialistEdu seminar on school accountability.

[Thom Kirkwood @thom_kirkwood]

At @SocialistEdu seminar on school accountability, @ChrisJVince asking the important question 'disruption for whom?' - we need to minimise it for students, parents, and teachers; disruption for contract lawyers and bureaucrats is less of an issue.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“MLK used to teach, “cowardice asks the question, is it expedient?
And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic?
Vanity asks the question, is it popular?

Conscience asks the question, is it right?“

[Great Horton Labour @GHLabour]

It's absolutely terrible that the government are letting our kids down like this. #schoolcuts.

[NEU Bradford @NEUBradford]

The crisis is affecting us everywhere: here in Bradford we've lost £298 per pupil. #schoolcuts @Bradford_TandA https://t.co/hzHBGe8ruO

[Judith Cummins MP @JudithCummins]

Passengers in Bradford and across Yorkshire have experienced almost a year of delays, cancellations, and disrupted service. It’s not good enough.
We need high speed rail in Bradford and across the North.

@JoolzDenby Except that this is made up. No one is saying people shouldn't criticise Ian Huntley, and there's no such this as blocklisting technology.

[Grange Tech College @GrangeTech]

Grange Technology College will finish at the slightly earlier time of 1.50pm on Friday 21st December 2018 for the Christmas break. We hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday period and look forward to seeing students return in 2019 on Monday 7th January.

[Great Horton Labour @GHLabour]

@RyanLinandkevin @JohnMannMP Mann is criticising the splitters...

[Bradford South Labour @bradsouthlabour]

Congratulations to Cllr Tariq Hussain on his re-selection this week as Great Horton Labour's candidate to contest the 2019 Local Elections!
