@DanielKebedeNEU Is limiting the pay of CEOs going to be part of the enforced pay and conditions?

[Melanie Griffiths @griffmelan]

@DanielKebedeNEU This is driving the privatisation of education services and encouraging schools to use cheaper inexperienced staff. Also the lack of accountability and transparency where delegated funds can be used for excessive CEO pay and vanity projects.

[Melanie Griffiths @griffmelan]

@DanielKebedeNEU And will they be sorting out funding? Not just underfunding, but the way that funding is allocated directly to schools mainly on pupil numbers and not actual costs, especially staffing costs.

[Melanie Griffiths @griffmelan]

@DanielKebedeNEU Although I think perhaps Scottish teachers are also happier because the 1988 Education Act did not apply there and schools are not run as businesses as they are in England and Wales.

[Melanie Griffiths @griffmelan]

@CrispinShow I would say that the demand for increases in funding for schools should only be made in conjunction with the demand that funds go to frontline education services and not into the pockets of private companies or the salaries of academy CEOs

[Melanie Griffiths @griffmelan]

@CrispinShow Academies are run by unaccountable CEOs who pay themselves huge salaries from money they get from public finances. VAT on or off public school fees has no effect on this. Bringing schools back into local democratic control would.

@zarahsultana Just wondering why @RachaelMaskell didn't vote with you?

#Election2024 What he means here is " Shit, that comment wasn't very expedient. I didn’t mean to alienate yet more previous Labour voters."

Exclusive interview with #Labour Party Leader Sir Keir Starmer clarifies his comments on Bangladeshi immigrants in an interview with ATN Bangla UK.

@Keir_Starmer emphasises that he meant no offence.

@AlexiDimond @andrewfeinstein @MiddleEastEye @SheffieldGreens Maybe it's the first one with a Labour majority. York Labour council is refusing to even discuss it. 🙄

@RunSirRun @drleatongray @naomicfisher Oh my, "none negotiables". I remember that phrase directed at teachers from the management at my last school. A real authoritarian phrase, used in my experience by weak managers who are unable to take the opinions of other members into account.

The Chairman of the Conservative Party, Richard Holden calling George Galloway an anti-semite on radio 4, like it's just a fact. I hope he's sued.

And this is why I have been saying for years we should never have tolerated the lies and extremist views of Netanyahu.
For him it was never about the hostages - having spoken to the families of the victims of the 7th October attack they raised these concerns months ago. They continue to protest against Netanyahu for not prioritising hostage release.
Netanyahu is about protecting Netanyahu and his political career.
He is not a partner for peace.
He is a dangerous and divisive man mired in corruption , hell bent on destroying any prospect of a future Palestinian State and in the process tragically destroying Israel and Israeli society
He and his right wing extremists must go.

Last night Rochdale was blessed to have @Lowkey0nline in the house.

You will struggle to find a more knowledgeable person on the Gaza Genocide.

He said “When it comes to Israel, Keir Starmer is to the right of Margaret Thatcher” 🔥🔥🔥

On the 29th Feb, Rochdale vote Galloway.
