@JBrokenshire This is such sad news. I only knew him as the father of my student but he was a warm, generous person and lovely to be around. His daughter Sophie is an intelligent and passionate young woman of whom I am sure he was exceptionally proud. My heart goes out to the whole family.

@nmjcoveney This is absolute genius and 100% accurate 😂

Mum friends, have you been struggling with home schooling and extra childcare? Fancy letting @BorisJohnson know about it? Sign our #UnhappyMothersDay card on the Facebook page https://t.co/tWgFhS7uX2 @WEP_UK

Someone has already done this, correct?

Our distribution warehouse is open!

Things may look a bit different this year but, it doesn't stop our (socially distanced) warehouse team from working their socks off to ensure our members have the best #Christmas possible. 🎄 ❤️

'I can never read all the books I want; I can never live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life.'

@bt_uk I don’t know they just told me they work for BT. And I own the flat so permission should have come via me. Courtesy would suggest you at least put a note through the door??

[Miss_Macdougal @MacdougalMiss]

@bt_uk Can I ask why there’s a fork lift truck digging up the front garden of my flat and damaging the new paintwork I had done? Both me and the other tenants are with Virgin and didn’t ask for this or get asked permission. Your staff were extremely rude when I asked them

PS My work here is done 😂

[Miss_Macdougal @MacdougalMiss]

So pleased to see a former student published in @NATEfeed magazine 😊 and doubly pleased to see A Taste of Honey duly praised as a GCSE choice.

Great advice here to help you prep for moving from room to room for each class. My hunt for the perfect travel mug and backpack continues �� #backtoschool #BackToSchool2020

For many years I taught in a school where the students didn’t move, the staff did. We changed things around a few years ago but these are some of the things I learned about nomad teaching that may help some people out as this year starts... (thread)
