And Further Education is once again completely ignored.

Further Education - the nursery of economic growth.

Today, the Conservatives tried to use Parliamentary time to protect private schools’ tax breaks.

Labour is taking the necessary decisions to invest in our state schools after 14 years of Tory neglect 👇

[JohnInBurnham @JohnInBurnham]

@62Seanv Stunning.

[JohnInBurnham @JohnInBurnham]

@Worldsmith1680 @John_atBTC Thanks, Josh. @Worldsmith1680
I'll listen. Not a fan of Robert/Steph. Heard a few - still lookinh for commentators questioning the govt's apparent rejection of classical/Keynesian principles.
Phillipson not impressed me yet.
Reeves' party line.

We don’t always agree, but we have to keep listening.
Strong opinions being heard today re. Aggregate Ballot.
Join the debate. See you all soon.

I spent the morning observing a very thorough, detailed, and respectful democratic debate at the @UCU special FE Sector Conference (sFESC).

Delegates will now vote on next steps following the impressive results of the consultative #RespectFE ballot.

Let's stop talking about higher tax being bad for the taxpayer.
If you want cheaper childcare, better health services or further education, then you DON'T want to rely on handouts and charity.
We need everyone to pay higher taxes and the rich need to pay the most.

Next week UCU will serve notice on every university in the UK for 3 days of strike action in November.

The longer the picket lines, the shorter the dispute 👏🏻🔥

When did British people stop believing in the power of the Welfare State?
It seems everyone is taken in by the idea of lower taxes and more spending power.
What has happened to free early years education, social care and child care?
Do we all want to pay for everything ourselves?

Except you are not in government.
And unlikely to be if you persist in alienating the very people to whom you owe your existence. Very strange.

[Janice Turner @VictoriaPeckham]

Owen Jones is seriously encouraging his 1 million followers to harass a politician in the street, maybe outside his home, less than a year after David Amess was stabbed. Has he lost his mind?

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Chief Secretary to the treasury Simon Clarke, who along with other MP’s has just had a £2,200 year a pay rise, is on @BBCBreakfast explaining why it would be reckless to give public sector workers, who got the country through the pandemic, a proper pay rise. Bollocks to that

Great to see three generations of Prescotts on the picket line at Hull. Especially good to see John back in action. Solidarity comrades.
