This is a really important (but difficult) read. @GuardianEdu recently spent a week in one of our schools to see the challenges headteachers face every day. I hope this wakes politicians up and is a catalyst for change. @OasisAcademies https://t.co/wl0I3VchTI
I’m a rare visitor to Twitter these days (compared to a 20 a day habit in the past), but this tweet, and more specifically the replies to it, are why I am still occasionally tempted back! Enjoy!
An incredible organisation, funded by public donation, resourced by volunteers, risking their lives daily to save lives of complete strangers. Happy 200th anniversary #RNLI and thank you 🙏
Today, we celebrate 200 years of saving lives at sea.
Thanks to our incredible volunteers, who give their time to save others, and the kindness of supporters like you, we can always answer the call for help.
We’d love to hear your stories and memories of the RNLI 👇

It's twelfth night, and I am pleased to bring you your 12th (and final) #crackerjoke!
What did the wise men say after they offered up their gifts of gold and frankincense?
Wait, there's myrrh!
That's all folks... at least for this Christmas! See you in December!!
On the first day of #Christmas, the first of this year's #crackerjokes!
What's the difference between Saint George and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer?
One slays a dragon, the other drags a sleigh!
Ho ho ho - Merry Christmas!!
@VictoriaCoren Last night of Christmas is tomorrow - Jan 5th, so maybe 5 mince pies a day? And then we get to celebrate Epiphany on Saturday with the galette des rois - win win!
Saturday's @thetimes featured wonderful New Year walks. Sadly the one they recommend at #Portscatho could become a whole lot less wonderful if the Govt sell a licence to turn #Gerrans Bay into a commercial seaweed farm and lose the dolphins, seals and other precious marine fauna!
@thetimes it’s ironic that Gerrans Bay, part of an AONB, is currently dealing with applications to create a 110 hectare commercial seaweed farm, with 9400 buoys….
The Marine Management Organisation – part of @DefraGovUK – plans to privatise Gerrans Bay, Cornwall, so it can be rented for 50 years by a private firm.
Locals say it'll significantly harm the environment. It even means Portscatho's 100 year old regatta will be forced to cease.
