An estimated 2700 excess deaths have occurred in the recent 2 heatwaves

This has to act as an urgent wake-up call

Climate change is here. This is the new normal

We need policies and investment now to protect people

And any responsible government must prioritise climate policies to protect the health of our children and future generations

How can we fix the teacher retention crisis? 👨‍🏫

Teaching is a fantastic profession that offers the opportunity to change lives. But in recent years, we've seen a growing number of teachers leave the state sector.

In our new report, @Joe_Dromey & @CllrMarcus set out how we can tackle the teacher retention crisis.

🏡 Support the building of 11,000 extra homes a yr

@Number10cat No, we don’t.

School support staff deserve better.

That's why we're bringing back the School Support Staff Negotiating Body, to give them all a seat at the table.

How do we make sure children get off to the best start?

Ahead of Bridget Phillipson’s speech at the Ruskin College Great Education Debate, our General Secretary @Joe_Dromey, makes the case for universal access to childcare.

[Ben Cooper @BenCooper1995]

Great to see Andrew Lewin MP in @LabourList talk about baby & toddler top-ups to Universal Credit.

This was something I recommended last year for @thefabians to help young families, and lift thousand of under-fives out of poverty.

.@bphillipsonMP has delivered some big things in her first two years as Education Secretary.

Expanding Family Hubs, reforming the broken SEND system, and helping to end the two child limit.

She recently spoke to @IggyWood about what drives her.

Fantastic to hear @bphillipsonMP speak about the importance of education for freedom and human flourishing at a joint @RuskinOxford and @thefabians event this afternoon.

Bridget made a passionate case for universal early years education, and high quality technical route.

Childhood is changing, and so must education.

Today I spoke about how in a world transformed, education is what will truly set us free.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

🚨 NEW REPORT - Accountability Gap: How Robust Accountability Can Unlock Devolution's Promise

Supported by @apsenews, this report by @CllrMarcus says we should go further and faster with “Manchesterism 2.0” to boost growth 🧵

[Joe Dromey @Joe_Dromey]

About to speak to @LBC about @bphillipsonMP's calls for universal early years education.

It's a big, bold and transformative idea, that could help unlock opportunity for young people, and unleash growth.

[Jack Shaw @JackTShaw]

Thoroughly enjoyed chairing this panel at the brilliant @thefabians Housing Summit. Lots of thought-provoking contributions and clear that while the Government has made progress on many fronts, there is much more that can be done to increase housebuilding and improve its quality.

It was fantastic to have the Chair of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee, @FloEshalomi join us for the Fabian Society Housing Summit!

Florence gave a keynote speech, where she discussed the government's progress on its housing mission, and what the incoming Prime Minister needs to tackle over the coming years.

[Joe Dromey @Joe_Dromey]
