If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn, but not Government Corruption £58bn.

Or immigration £2bn, but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Or NHS maximum potential pay rises of £3bn, but not Bankers tax cuts of £7.3bn.

You are buying their lies.

A year ago, I started following how the cost of living crisis was playing out at an Oldham school, checking in with the fantastic @NewmanRC_Head every few weeks. I ended up learning a lot about the British state, and its education system, to boot.

Today's news:
- 700,000 pupils in schools at risk of collapse. Death/Injury likely.
- Nurses report children so hungry they're being hospitalised.

Children aren't suffering because there are teacher strikes. There are teacher strikes because children are suffering.

How wages have faired.

MPs: Pay ⬆️ 22% in real terms since 2010

Bankers: Bonuses ⬆️ 101% in cash terms since 2008

CEOs: Pay ⬆️ 23% in 2022 alone

Teachers: Pay 🔻 24% since 2010

Nurses: Pay 🔻 20% since 2010

Whose wages are causing the inflation?

ASCL General Sec, @RealGeoffBarton on teachers' strikes: 'We went into those talks in good faith, they were bizarre and surreal in many times, but we did not play the union barons and we gave an absolute evidence based case.'

Just to clarify what he actually said!

[Kaveh Solhekol @SkyKaveh]

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

They can’t all be wrong.

The people are not the problem.

[Angela O'Connor @findangie]

@Mathew_Lynch44 Ah, but that's different... [insert some Tory bullshit!]

[Matt Lynch @Mathew_Lynch44]

She voted against extending free school meal vouchers until Easter 2021 for families in receipt of Universal Credit or similar benefit.

Where was her care for the children then?

@tes @GillianKeegan Teachers are striking to gain FUNDED pay rises! Government take note. Schools are expected to currently divert budgeted funds from children to pay the below inflation provisional inadequate rises

@Mathew_Lynch44 Sending lots of love and good wishes, my friend xx
