Yet again the @educationgovuk has announced changes to school guidance in the press. What a lovely Sunday morning present.
However, primary schools as absolutely none of it applies to you apart from potentially the Air-filter lottery...As you were!
Rest in peace. I had the great honour of being invited to listen to Desmond Tutu speak in person in London back in 2013. It was a hugely inspiring day and a memory I will always treasure. Thank you, rest well.

The announcement of AUKUS, the military partnership between the UK, the US and Australia, is a dangerous escalation in the West’s ongoing confrontation with China. Spreading nuclear technology is at the heart of the deal. Find out how you can protest it: https://t.co/f5vyaR6uD0
laboratory data shows that non-medical masks (such as cloth masks) made of 2 or 3 layers may have similar filtration efficiency to surgical masks (high confidence) (2/2)
UK Health Security Agency October 2021: ‘the evidence suggests that all types of face coverings are, to some extent, effective in reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in both healthcare and public, community settings (1/2)
This is Valenta @RoyalLondonHosp ITU Family Support Officer. She gave up her Christmas Day with her family to do video calls for patients and their loved ones.
Amazing nurse. Amazing person. To Valenta 🥂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, of course they will...will all children and staff be able to attend...probably not. Do schools and colleges need additional funding from the DfE for additional qualified staff, heating bills and air filtration...absolutely!
Covid related school absences up 13%. Teacher covid absences up too. Education is being disrupted because the Government has not invested in sensible steps like ventilation and air filtration.

Just saying…..Last year I donated a bottle of House of Commons champagne signed by @Keir_Starmer to my son’s school Christmas auction. It went for £114. This year someone donated a bottle signed by Boris Johnson. It went for £40. 🥂
Lord Geidt is the Independent Advisor on the Ministerial Code.
The Code the PM is supposed to uphold and enforce.
Underpinning assumption of edifice of standards & ethics in Govt is that a PM would tell truth to the Independent Advisor.
If he doesn’t, whole thing falls down
“I have spoken to the PM who confirms that he knew nothing about such payments until ...Feb 2021.”
“Nov 2020: The PM messages Lord Brownlow asking him to authorise further... works”
This is extremely serious. How do standards function if PM doesn’t tell truth to Geidt?
I’ve cancelled meals with friends. We have cancelled a work Christmas night out. We’re not going to do a whole school shared buffet now. Staff meetings on hold. Masks, social distancing & bubbles in play. Teachers are putting safety first across the country. Please remember that.
He was “handed” precisely £0.
Legal aid of £20,000 to ensure that one of the most dangerous men in our country’s history was safely convicted and lawfully imprisoned for life is an absolute bargain.
