Our carers were on the front line during the pandemic.

Vulnerable and exposed as care homes turned into morgues.

That cannot be allowed to happen again.

We look forward to working with the Government to enact the inquiry's recommendations.

The £500m handed to teachers from school support staff pensions could have:

🏫 Given every teaching assistant £1000
🎨 Boosted school support worker pay by £600

School support staff are badly paid and undervalued - and rightly furious at the decision from government

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

We've polled our school support staff members: the findings are shocking

🏗️ Almost 1 in 4 work in buildings with asbestos
💩 More than a quarter in damp + mould
🌊 Over half face leaky roofs
🏃‍➡️ 35% lack key PE facilities
📚 17% don't have books for all ages

This can't go on.

I recently convened and attended a meeting between members of the #SaveOurStanleys campaign and the Minister for Early Education.

The Minister has written the below letter to South Tyneside Council, urging them to safeguard the long-term future of our Stanley's nurseries. 🧸

I ♥️ this exchange.

‘This is an absolute masterclass in deflection!'

Labour plans to ban ‘subscription traps’ to ease the cost of living… but how much does Netflix cost?

Health Minister @ChrisMcDonaldMP's answer has @NickferrariLBC gripped.

[Kat Fletcher @KatFletcher]

Less furious, more deeply irritated and concerned, but nonetheless Govt must act to save the British Bottling Industry.

What a refreshing idea ….

[Bethany Dawson @bethanymrd]

📞 I hear Andy Burnham is calling MPs personally to offer them ministerial positions … which could be why this is all taking so long
