We must do all we can to ensure that our SEN young people in the UK get the support they need and are legally entitled to! They are amazing.

Really delighted that @BBCTheOneShow highlighted the challenge of getting an EHC plan. Our learners @Green_Corridor all have one but their parents have often had to fight so hard. The impact we have is life changing but the system so stretched

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout.

You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.

The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping
everyone.

I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already

🛒 filled my cart
🛒 emptied my cart
🛒 scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart

and so I just skipped the exit line and left.

I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.

You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.

I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.

• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine.

• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.

YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.

YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

Signed ....All of us

These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old

Please watch and share. This is far too true for anyone to feel comfortable.Our Democracy is in deep trouble.

We're sick of

💧 sewage in our rivers 💩
💡 beyond outrageous energy bills ⚡️
🚌 second class 'public' transport 🚄
📮 rising stamp prices and falling deliveries 📩
🏥 watching our NHS being outsourced bit by bit 👩‍⚕️

No wonder public ownership is so popular...

It's time to nationalise Bulb. Instead of paying £1 billion to Octopus to buy it, keep it in public ownership to cut our bills #NationaliseBulb @we_ownit https://t.co/pk0P2XI4o7

Selling off Channel 4, a profit-making publicly-owned asset, makes no sense. This puts jobs, small businesses and popular TV shows like #GreatBritishBakeOff and #Gogglebox at risk. @NadineDorries get your hands off @Channel4 #HandsOffChannel4 @We_ownit https://t.co/9feMfNpeIt

Our energy system should work for all of us, not just a handful of shareholders. I just signed @We_OwnIt's petition to @KwasiKwarteng and @RishiSunak asking them to bring energy into public ownership so it works for people and planet, not profit. https://t.co/scXi4O9fM5

I just signed @We_OwnIt's petition to @KwasiKwarteng asking him to stop the Vaccine Manufacturing and Innovation Centre sell off! The more signatories it gets the more impactful it will be. Sign and share! #NoVaccineSellOff https://t.co/7HcZaxjI1x
