What a nonsense this is.

When we were winning back pay for support staff at CST in Bristol - NEU was for them.

When we were saving jobs at ATLP - NEU was for them.

We centre low paid women workers and fight for them.

Desperate stuff from GMB.

Deepest condolences to the family and friends of this young boy. Such a tragic loss

[Lewisham Council @LewishamCouncil]

Saturday 5 April 1.45 pm: Very sadly, police have now confirmed that a 15 year old boy lost his life at the lake at Beckenham Place Park yesterday. We send our thoughts and deepest condolences to his family and friends.

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Inflation hits 3% (CPI) today.

RPI rose to 3.6% in January, up from 3.5% in December.

Schools cannot afford another unfunded pay cut. It will deepen the crisis in recruitment and retention.

Teachers (after 5 years) in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 earn 17% less than in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

People voted for change.

@thameswater Our members and their students ending the half term with this debacle. This is the reality of privatisation of our public services, disruption for the many, profits for the few #nationaliseThamesWater

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

5000 South Londoners without running water, schools closing. Our members & students dealing with this at the end of half term. Another example of how the privatisation of public services has utterly failed the many while enriching the few #nationaliseThamesWater @elliereeves

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

@warwickmansell Gibb largely ignores structures and pins it all on structured literacy here. Considering he was main proponent of academies and free schools seems odd https://t.co/p8LIIQ9WII

@vicgoddard @andrewoneillHT @DanielKebedeNEU And if fat cats at the top of MATs weren’t sucking so much money up from the frontline, we might not be having this conversation

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

@vicgoddard @andrewoneillHT Just been sat in schools forum and don’t think there is anything hyperbolic or crude about message coming from @DanielKebedeNEU An unfunded pay award would cause carnage in Lewisham schools and I don’t think we’re alone. We will consider this helpful advice on the picket line

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

@SchoolsWeek Do we know how many of those schools had consecutive RIs and had academy orders issued?

[Save Byron Court @SaveByronCourt]

Thank you @LewishamNeu for your support. Not just for the children of Byron Court but for all children across the country - Stop the privatisation of our childrens education!!! #stopforcedacademisation #kidsnotquids #SaveByronCourt

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

@cyclingkev @GullisJonathan @MaryWBousted Maybe he’ll come back to teach in Lewisham. The stories of his classroom practice and relationships with colleagues are still talked about in these parts. Those who can…
