We we were lucky enough to see Bruce Springsteen on Thursday at Wembley and it’s taken everything in my power to not try and go again tonight. So bloody good…

[Lee Barron @LeeBarronMP]

What an honour it was to be sworn in as MP to represent the great people of Corby & East Northants at Westminster today.

I’m still in the process of opening an office and recruiting staff. Hopefully this will be done shortly. So in the meantime please bear with me.

[Kerry Prior @MrsPrior3]

@Mrs_B_Pe @WATSltd Look at them 😍

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

The Rt Hon Rachel Reeves MP @RachelReevesMP has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer @hmtreasury.

It’s been an incredibly busy, but absolutely brilliant week of professional learning. Finishing Friday as an accredited @TeamTeachLtd trainer and a big step closer to getting a NPQH. 🙌🏻 #gettingseptemberready @CorbyBusinessAc

Harriet Harman is the best PM we never had. A genuine political heavyweight. Watching her on a panel alongside Dorries and Kwarteng is like watching a nuclear physicist interact with two vaguely confused dogs.

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

Yes! @ThePiXLNetwork have opened up their Parent-School Relationship guide to non-members.

It’s a downloadable, short, *practical* guide to dealing with parents (including complaints).

Best thing I’ve read on this topic all year. To get it…

@EgoCaecilius Followed their own restrictions? Would have been a start.
