Wising you all a 2022 that is as happy as Reggie is at the moment!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Huge thanks to all the NHS staff from around the world who were there for everyone in 2021, and will still be there in 2022.

@timminglab Shmendogeneity!

@Muslim_Hikers @Haroon_Mota @peakdistrict @vpdd @OutdoorsRacism @Team_BMC @CPRE @MuslimCouncil @InclusionActive @Steppers_UK @alltheelements_ Nasty cowards! Hiking, like running, should be the most inclusive activity but there’s a depressing lack of representation for all who aren’t white in both. Thank goodness you’re bucking that trend and the more that happens, the more out of touch and isolated the bigots become!

@supertanskiii You are amazing. Keep being you

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

Unexpected find. This is the kind of message we need to hear more of. Thank you @joetracini for giving so many people a voice, particularly at this time of year

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

5 years on and I still feel sad. What a loss to music and a loss to the world. A kind man who meant so much to so many and what a voice! #GeorgeMichael

@mann_vader Keanu is so brilliant! His backstory, his day to day attitude and his kindness are incredible

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

@mann_vader 🎵 Give me a London girl every time! 🎵

@mailplus @toadmeister The arrogance required for an inflated scrotum with glasses to have written this utter turd and failed to even check the crucial characteristics and plot of the metaphor upon which his article is based! What a prick! Next time you need hospital care, please call a politician!

@jeffreykboakye This tribute to George Michael with A Different Corner is spine tingling https://t.co/o3tIVrUdTW

At this time of year, let us not forget how uncle billy tragically lost his penis on the M1 shortly after Robin had run away from Batman because of his hormonal BO problem!

@jeffreykboakye This seems to suggest that there will be snow in Africa this Christmas, as well as baking sun and everything in between! It is a song that reinforces all kinds of damaging misconceptions and stereotypes. It needs binning!

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

I’ve just donated. If you can spare £10 then keep them in mind

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

Christmas won’t be magical for every child.

This year we want to send more surprise festive book parcels than ever before and light up Christmas for 16,000 children who are vulnerable or in care. ✨

Can you help? https://t.co/MRgxOHR4a4 #JustOneBook

@AliceJBradbury @IOE_London It was fantastic! The reaction and feedback from students and tutors was incredibly positive and the impact that your work will have on their developing thinking and teaching is significant. Thank you

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

Utter scum! Shame on her!

[Michael Walker @michaeljswalker]

This is how Allegra Stratton spoke to a working class woman who *did* follow the rules.

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

@sam_creighton Of course [email protected] just send whenever you’re ready, I’ll look forward to it

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

@HertsNeu @cyclingkev @StFrancisHerts @NEUnion @DanielKebedeNEU @MaryBoustedNEU @thecomet24 A revolting way to treat dedicated staff! Opting to take three days without pay at this time of year just shows how much they must have been forced into a corner. Sending my best wishes and I’m sure those in education around the country are with you too

[Dr Josh Franks @PrimaryWriters]

@sam_creighton I’d love to if you still need people
