This is good news. I agree that there are some fantastic #educators in #worcester & I have had the pleasure to teach 1,500+ pupils there in #primary #secondary & #PRU filling a #curriculum gap by building literacy around #China & future proofing young people. @engage_china

As usual a busy day in Westminster today, but it was particularly good to touch base with Minister Bridget Philipson on our mission to break down the barriers to opportunity!

This is so true! It’s said that the three most difficult things to say are “I love you!” “Sorry!” & our famous and fabulous #worcestershiresauce 😀

Worcester - Where kings & princes rest, wars start and end, & the sauce defies global pronunciation.

@BishopWorcester @ConteurUK A very affecting and beautiful film and a unique story of ‘Life over Death.’

I enjoy speaking about China. Recently @vigorniarotary invited me to speak on “Chinese takeaways.” This gave me plenty of scope to talk about China in numbers and the work of our charity @engage_china our #curriculumenrichment #ModelUN & #scholarships in #China for A-level 👩‍🎓 🐉

Something to look forward to! Save the date - this is going to be even better than last year!

This is outrageous that any outside institution (stonewall) has so much power over the Nhs (and other public bodies!) And what’s worse is it only goes one way… anti women. The deliberate erosion of words is very intentional.

[H-J Colston @HJ_Colston]

I, too, am loving the latest book 📕 So good to be at the recent launch @Dauntbooks @YsendaMG

[Ysenda MaxtoneGraham @YsendaMG]
