You can't live if you're worried about dying. You can't be right if you can never admit you're wrong. You can't be big if you think small...

[Dic Penderyn 🇵🇸🦇🦎 @PenderynDic]

@tes @GavinWilliamson @Ofstednews We as parents need to report Gavin Williamson to ofsted on Monday morning instead. For endangering lives and gross mishandling in a pandemic. Pass it on

[Oran Blackwood @dainsideme]

@MichaelGBanks3 @tes @GavinWilliamson @Ofstednews Especially since Ofsted is doing VERY LITTLE to support schools during the pandemic

[Oran Blackwood @dainsideme]

It’s not enough we have to put ourselves at risk to keep schools open but now @GavinWilliamson wants to set the Gestapo onto us...

[Tes magazine @tes]

Parents heap praise on 'invaluable' teachers and 'amazing' schools for their efforts during the pandemic - in a backlash against @GavinWilliamson call for them to report schools to @Ofstednews over remote learning provision https://t.co/8gezrf8YX1

@debbiegullin @benandjerrysUK @pritipatel Asylum seekers and refugees have no access to public funds on arrival. The British govt DOES NOT pay benefits to asylum seekers or refugees. Fact check before commenting please

@hayleytilbey @SENDcrisisHack @SEND_Action @SEND_CA @SendCrisis It should be 6 weeks, but you have to account for the summer break which will extend the time as the LA won’t do any work over that period
