@jessspearman @LNER AirPods have been secured! Thanks for your help @LNER and @jessspearman 🩷💜🤍

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

Hi @LNER, I left my AirPod Pros on the last train from Durham (18.11) to Kings Cross last night and can now see they’re on another journey northbound, currently past Peterborough, after staying at the station overnight (1/2)

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

UPDATE (that no one publicly asked for): AirPods have been on a little trip to Newcastle and are waiting to be collected from the station later this week by @jessspearman. Thank you @LNER, I’ll be in touch tomorrow x

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

@LNER Thank you, we did that last night and I’ve just submitted another one as I can see it’s on the move, but would be helpful if you could inform staff on the particular train it’s on right now. Happy to collect from KGX once it’s returned there. It’s currently near Newark station.

Pupils in England will soon be able to study British Sign Language (BSL) at GCSE!⭐

This week @GillianKeegan caught up with Tasha Ghouri at @spitalfieldsE1 to let her know the latest on our British Sign Language (BSL) GCSE - coming soon!

The pair also met Punk Chef, who not only serves great food, but is a part of the deaf community. (1/2) 🧵

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

The government says that British Sign Language will be taught as a GCSE in England from September 2025. Parents, teachers and the deaf and hearing communities have taken part in a 12 week consultation to decide on the content of the qualification.

16-year-old Halyna Holovadiuk left Ukraine last year to study in safety at @ThistleyHough Academy.

After just four months of preparation, Halyna has passed her GCSEs with flying colours - English is her third language.

Please join us in congratulating Halyna. ❤️👏🇺🇦

@david_mcgurrin @hanmaslen @LinkedInHelp Hey! Just letting you know my account was restored this week and it doesn’t look like any damage was done 🤞🏼 give them a nudge over DM if you haven’t heard anything yet. ☺️

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

Happy Monday to everybody apart from the owner of the Chinese email address who has hacked and deleted my LinkedIn account 🤦🏽‍♀️ @LinkedInUK @LinkedInHelp please can you restore my profile? 🙏🏼

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

@david_mcgurrin @hanmaslen @LinkedInHelp Hi both, I spoke to LI over DM but because I’d already raised a case they said to wait for a response to that. I heard back over email and had to prove my identity with a drivers licence but that’s as far as it’s got so far. Hoping we’re all successful! 🤞🏼

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

@david_mcgurrin @hanmaslen @LinkedInHelp Tell me about it!

[Laura Flinn @lauramflinn]

Today is my last day at @Literacy_Trust after nearly five years! It's been so much fun working for such a fab charity, delivering such an important message and helping more children to read for enjoyment. Thank you everyone for the memories and Merry Christmas!📚☃️❤️

Libraries play a key role in helping disadvantaged children to fall in love with books. We’re ecstatic to have a fab England footballer and a top fashion house supporting this cause. If you do too, why not make a donation? It is Christmas… https://t.co/TOm3lKmaxv 📚💕🧥⚽️🎄

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

We are so proud to be working with @MarcusRashford @Burberry @panmacmillan to transform 10 library spaces in schools. Marcus is a true role-model for children across the country and wants to inspire them to pick up a book.

Read what this project means to him in this letter…

In a library, you can become ‘a believer of success, of happiness, of friendships…’ @MarcusRashford @Burberry and @panmacmillan have joined us to promote libraries as places to unlock the power of their imagination. Watch this gorgeous video to find out more:
