@LeroySkeete Yes as anything ok if it’s legal!

@jolmiskinwea Just listening to him once has caused this reaction! Think about me - he was my local mp for last two years - we have moved! Only issue is we have moved into another Tory area- forgot about that on list of requirements for finding new home for retirement!!

[Phil Coward @PhilCoward]

@jolmiskinwea Agreed do they really think that changing people’s working conditions so they can’t strike will commit them to stay in their jobs!

@FEWeek This is the final end of Adult Education in West Sussex. In the not so distant past the county, as the LEA, provided a comprehensive and county wide service, as did every LEA in England.
This is both a national tragedy and a national disgrace.

[Ladyship Just Asking ? @JulieDr17118733]

So they should

[Phil Coward @PhilCoward]

@FEWeek @educationgovuk @SusanPember @HOLEXPolicy Absolutely

@john_holford @YMCAEng_Wales @WEAadulted @ClancyFirefox @John__Field @cillaross5 @AlanTuckett @markfreeman1974 Sad to see this John. My colleague Alan Skinner saw the demise of Grey Friars adult Ed, Colchester which has never been replaced

@jolmiskinwea Just giving an answer they think is wanted. so as you say not to be trusted - any of them. I am not saying out of the dying pan and into the fire but seems likely

@Dawn_French Secretary of State for DESPAIR - you can add your own meaning to the acronym

German government is offering Ukrainian refugees free access to “integration courses”, comprising a basic language programme & an introduction to life in Germany

[John Field 🌻 @John__Field]

The continuing decline of the UK’s armed forces - all the more worrying given (a) current tensions and (b) growing government demand for forces to backfill civilian roles https://t.co/GJy6tbh5Q7

Now that donations from pro-Putin Russian oligarchs are off the agenda,
Would #BorisJohnson come clean about Putin's interference in support of Brexit and the undermining of both the EU & the UK?

It was a pleasure to have had the chance to spent some time in the company of Lalage when it was easy to do so. Her contribution to adult education is clear to all who had a chance to listen to her.

[John Holford @john_holford]

Lalage was a lovely woman and a great adult educator.

[Phil Coward @PhilCoward]

Great that the Workers’ Educational Association has won this after over 120 years of adult learning stewardship.

[The WEA @WEAadulted]

We're thrilled to have won the award for Online Stewardship at @FundEverywhere's Charity Virtual Event Awards! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who voted for us and to Fundraising Everywhere & Everywhere+ for recognising all the work we do!

@NikkiCinNotts @SimonParkinson6 @TUC_Library @WEAadulted One is George Taylor, an accountant from Sheffield, keen supporter of Esperanto and WEA, who can’t resist offer of cheap linoleum

[Phil Coward @PhilCoward]

@NikkiCinNotts @SimonParkinson6 @TUC_Library @WEAadulted And don’t forget the Simon Garfield books based during WW2 that use mass observation diaries by WEA students

[John Field 🌻 @John__Field]

Great thread on why the UK has higher deaths/hospitalisation - basic conclusion from data is that masks are good, but allowing indoor mixing is the main factor

[Phil Coward @PhilCoward]

As Ernest Green asked in 1953 “Adult Education; Why this apathy?

[David Hughes CBE @AoCDavidH]

Such a shame that you have abandoned coverage of further education & the lecturers who educate the majority of young people & millions of adults @jon_severs @JoJohnsonUK
