Thanks to brilliant author Frank Cottrell Boyce and outgoing childrens laureate Cressida Cowell there’s been a lot of interest in Woolton Primary’s library this week so I edited some drone footage we did when it was finished. @CressidaCowell @frankcottrell_b @10DowningStreet

EVERY SCHOOL should have a library & a librarian, inspiring the readers of the future. No child should ever have to go without access to the books & the expert guidance that will make them lifelong readers. #SaveLibraries

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million in minutes and be able to show all NHS staff the support they continue to need.

It will take just a few seconds of your life but could make such a difference.

In Parliament, I just told Priti Patel that if she had an ounce of compassion, she would abandon her disgraceful plan to deport refugees to Rwanda.

She asked me to withdraw this "slur" against her.

Let me say again @PritiPatel: This policy again shows you lack basic compassion.

Punchy line from Peter Kyle and Labour:

“Previous generations have delivered peace in Northern Ireland while the Tories can’t get a prawn sandwich across the Irish Sea”.

Preaching to the converted here, I’m sure, but Michael Mosley in One Small Thing @BBCRadio4 said that reading novels increases blood flow to the brain, improves your life expectancy and may protect against dementia. Good news!

Never forget, READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. It's more important than how rich your parents are! So always make books central; make time to read to kids; and make sure you encourage them to read for themselves. #literacy

[Alan Wylie @wylie_alan]

Libraries being run by volunteers is not something to be celebrated it’s a deliberate ideological agenda to undermine, offload & ultimately destroy a statutory public service, we need to fight it not clap it 🤬

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt.

In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)
