@Nusc2023 0/8 for me..only looking for 1 ticket which I thought would be an advantage but apparently not!

@hollieteaches I find it tricky as I don't have many teacher friends and my husband works most of the summer so I find myself alone a lot of the time. I don't mind this but for 6 weeks it's a lot! Keeping busy usually ends up spending money so that's a factor too!

@MissC_1717 I've read it briefly and agree with what you've said. Seems like way more focus on the basics and getting those right 👍

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT

"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"

"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"

"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"

"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"

"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"

"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"

"That is your deterrent"

"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"

Very well said @timfarron 👏

Imagine if we had Sure Start? Parents having someone to speak to. Parents have to support this alongside professionals. We have made the policy of school readiness, we made our beds and now we have to lay in it.

@MissC_1717 I've moved down from Y2 to Reception so I am feeling this!! 😭

Good post. The virtual disappearance of Nursery Rhymes which, with adult interaction, vocabulary, rhyme, rhythm and often associated music and movement are so much better for children's development than any TV, however good, should concern us all.

Domestic abuse survivors say Man Utd's £30m profit on Mason Greenwood is a "disturbing insight into the club's culture" and Ineos' ongoing treatment of women.

Demands for the fee to be given to charity.

Thanks to @David_Challen and others

#SkyNews reporter on Brighton Beach talks to a man with his child. His partner is on her hen do. Reporter says he's on "daddy duty". No. He's being a parent. Nobody says a woman who is alone with her child is on "mummy duty". Stop giving men a medal for doing the bare minimum.

Big thanks to the @StagecoachNE drivers on the No 1 bus today for their kindness and patience with 30 kids and 4 adults. It was most appreciated 👍

@primary_geog This is so important! I always remember visiting the pyramids and expecting to have to ride a camel to get there! Ppl don't realise how close they are to a major city

Women aged 30-39 were the largest group of teachers to leave the profession last year – a situation that has to be fixed, and fast, says @mtptproject founder Emma Sheppard
