If #GavinWilliamson's assertion that "for two hours a week over a 12-week period, (children are) able to catch up on average three to five months' worth of lost learning" seems unlikely, that's because @educationgovuk have cherry-picked again. #catchup

@DavidLammy @GavinWilliamson @Conservatives Oh please @DavidLammy . I'm no fan of @GavinWilliamson, but he was clear that he was talking about "overtime". Please don't encourage this. If you want to challenge him start with his cherry-picked statistics on catch-up effectiveness, for example.

Total misunderstanding of the current legal requirements?... https://t.co/a9KX7iBDfb

There's a moral case for vaccinating school staff, working in high-transmission environments without significant PPE, for their own safety. But it won't stop transmission to vulnerable families and isn't a lever for earlier full-opening of schools. Safe working conditions are.

Former prime minister Tony Blair has said it would take just two days to vaccinate all #teachers and so is a 'reasonable thing to do' to help schools reopen sooner. https://t.co/iyK6wtzcbx

@SongbyToad @toad_mrs I thought my wife was bollocking a child upstairs yesterday. Nope, it was her boss.

@NWmwaypolice any chance of an update on the M6 j17 - j16 southbound delays. We’re still stuck at 7.30pm. When will the mway reopen?

@orangebikes My P7 in “dad mode”. Any excuse.

@miconm @xtophercook The irony being that the single exam board per subject is the the (only) bit that most teachers approve of.

@LFTConsult Thanks from our yr 10s at Newman School too. They were really inspired! They hope you get to go into space soon!

@NewRooms Time to go shopping for light bulbs I'd have thought!
