Solidarity to rail workers ✊

[Emma Penter 💙 @EmmaPenter]

I am unable to join my fellow educators in London today for @The_TUC demand better demo.

I send my support and solidarity to all on the march. We demand better. We deserve better. 💪

@ITV worst app ever…! Serious investment needed. Live streaming of popular programmes is near on impossible!

@AldiUK Grounds for divorce?! How could he???!!! Married for 12 years… I’m not going to lie… I’m questioning it. #TeamAldi #CuthBack

@jburnmurdoch I read a book a month on average. Sometimes more. I work part time and have 3 young children. I read books that I enjoy (rather than books I feel I ‘should’ read) and usually it is total escapism. As a result I love my reading time and prioritise it. Enjoyment is key!

There's a teacher shortage coming. It's been coming for a while, but was staved off by the pandemic.

Now, it's heaving back into view & it isn't pretty.

It's easy to blame the DfE, but I think some other things are happening that matter outside of education too 🧵... STRAP IN!

Worth a bash isn’t it?

There is a growing and numbing realisation of just how bad Sunak's budget really was. Worse, he’s even now saying that there is nothing he can do about poverty. This is a long thread to explain why he’s failing and what we can do about it if we want to change our politics.

This is not a photo from 1941. This is a photo from March 2022 with all the color taken out. So angry. So sad.

@danielgoyal Really interesting thread. Thank you.

Look at the size of anti-war protestors in St Petersburg, Russia. Wow

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

My statement on the situation in Ukraine:

[Emma Penter 💙 @EmmaPenter]

After 2 years of pure luck avoiding, I finally tested Covid +. As did my entire family of 5. At the same time. 3 children under 10. 3 of us feeling like utter crap. Oh and it’s half term. And Russia invaded Ukraine. And BJ is still PM. 🤯🤯🤯 The world feels very scary right now.

@MsGHist You are never ‘finished’ so prioritise things you absolutely have to do that day and then go home. Don’t overplan. Beg steak and borrow resources. Try and leave work at work as much as possible. Don’t work weekends as a rule.

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

It's not just adults experiencing long Covid - there are currently nearly 120,000 children living with it in the UK, with symptoms lasting long after the initial infection.

@Ruth5News, who's had long Covid for over 18 months, has been hearing from two children affected.

@nadhimzahawi Then protect them from endless Covid infections and isolations. You have put nothing in place in schools to ensure their safety. Plus stop underfunding CAMHS, train more EMHP and have them in ALL schools as you promised. Prove it’s important. Your words are not enough.
