@TalkTalk My broadband went live on Saturday. It was great while it lasted. Today no internet - eero has red light. Everything looks good on the openreach box. Can't get through to live chat, my account won't let me log in, phone support doesn't recognise my mobile number.

@robertd1981 @NUthmani @EdnaKrabapple1 @EISUnion @Henry_Hepburn @S_A_Somerville @NicolaSturgeon @COSLA @Ross_Greer @al_crosbie Thank you for saying this . I've been telling people this for weeks.

@DGrieve81 @mmcshane @MissED1965 @EISUnion If that turns out to be the offer then it’s a big NO from me. Shouldn’t even go to a consultative ballot.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MicGBanks1 @EISUnion It is.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MicGBanks1 @EISUnion I simply made the observation that there were none on the picket line at our school and given there are about 40 members that's quite disappointing.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MicGBanks1 @EISUnion What exactly are you implying?

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MicGBanks1 @EISUnion Did they? None on the picket line I was on.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@alderson55 @stooballoo @ayjayceee @EISUnion Here's an idea. Why don't you target your MSP and get them to come to the table with a worthwhile offer that could halt industrial action instantly.
I bet you won't.

Teachers picketing at Bearsden Academy were joined by @eisunion General Secretary Andrea Bradley. Thanks for supporting us today and throughout the #payattention campaign.

All power to Scottish teaching union, ⁦@EISUnion⁩ , who have started a week of targeted strike action, starting with action in prominent ⁦@scotgov⁩ politicians’ constituencies

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do!
And look what a complete pile of shite it has become.

@virginmedia All seems fine.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@virginmedia I've got H+ connection and no internet - how can that be? This is what it looks like all day everyday while I'm at work in G61 postcode.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@virginmedia Sorry, I wasn't at work yesterday. I just set it to manual and it settles on Virgin 3G and still no internet. Tried it on 4g and it reverted to 3g.
I've got a mifi with a 3 sim in it that I am connected to to send this and it's working fine.

Only one reason why #spoty is so late. They really thought Englandshire would win the World Cup.
And before you say I'm anti-English I want Ben Stokes to win.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@mark_mclaughlin @EISUnion First strike over pay in 40 years.

There, I fixed it for you.

If you can't get the basics correct.....

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@CraigJDuffy @Henry_Hepburn @TesScotland @EISUnion Shameful that they include an increment in the calculation of a pay offer. It should be rejected on that basis alone.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MrMcEnaney @SSTAtradeunion @EISUnion The picket line would be to discourage non-striking @EISUnion members from working. Members of other unions will not be seen as crossing a picket line.
Welcome to industrial action in 2022.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@MrMcEnaney 2 things: 1. Why picket schools? Our dispute is not with schools.
2. When NASUWT took local action our school was closed to pupils. We were in school and EIS told us that as long as we didn't do the work of striking colleagues we weren't crossing a picket line.

[Douglas Chappelle @doogiec]

@mrdissent @drewburrett A very serious breach.

[Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound]

Suella Braverman did not mistakenly leak a meaningless document. She endlessly consulted a maverick. She deliberately emailed a policy doc not yet agreed to her pvt email. Then she sent it to John Hayes and someone she thought was his wife. Then lied to PM about when it was sent
