@RestIsPolitics I'm really concerned about new voter ID laws depriving younger and poorer voters of their right to vote. People without photo ID need to apply for postal votes now - are the parties working to make sure this happens? And will the law be repealed?

@LNER I'd like to say thank you to Steve the train manager on the 1503 from KGX to Leeds. He is being very cheerful, helpful and informative, and helping to keep everyone's spirits up on another stressful day on the railways!

Are we back to #ukgovchat @UKGovChat on Sunday? Hope the start of term has gone ok for everyone

#TRIPLive is there any way to move prison policy up the political agenda? In particular - will any politician ever notice that a good way to save public money would be to imprison fewer people?

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

#TRIPlive would love to hear views on visible religious faith in British politics. What's changed since "we don't do God?"

@TPEassist will tickets for the cancelled 1215 from Leeds be accepted on the 1211 CrossCountry service?

@JaPenn56 Thank you Jo!!! #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 Not a joke tbh, it can't go on as it has, but reasonable hopes for change #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 I mean there's also the small matters of joining a MAT and appointing a headteacher so yes a nice quiet year ahead...! #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 I hope to get into a position where I can step down as chair. That will be an achievement. It looks do-able. #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 But we did get an associate governor who has worked with lots of schools & is able to do reality checks / sharing good practice #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 Discovering how much is on GovernorHub was a big step forward. What I wish was easier is seeing how other schools and boards work & hence getting a sense of what's normal & what's weird #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@neilayates @JaPenn56 I am so glad I discovered #ukgovchat and it's now the only thing I use Twitter actively for !

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 I wrote 2 reviews of the year 1 official 1 unofficial but both listed lots of governor achievements in a school where govs spent autumn & winter being told we weren't good enough #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@JaPenn56 I'm proud that we have got through an incredibly difficult year and are seeing a few glimmers of light #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@jmgordon Quite a few things to sort before end of term but it's in sight... #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@jmgordon Anyway today I had a very stressful day at the cricket 😂 so forgot it was #ukgovchat

[Rachel Muers @RachelMuers]

@jmgordon Ha ha feels like that sometimes
