Shout out to Janice on the delayed @LNER 17:30 Kings X to Darlington. She’s doing a fab job with a smile. Also to the guy on the tannoy who keeps updating us. It’s much appreciated 🤗

Hi @Ocado is there an ETA on fixing the checkout process? This is the error message I’m repeatedly getting. As are others looking at your feed.
I have until the end of the day to add to my order 😬

@PopeyesUK it’s no wonder the restaurant was empty with service like this. I strongly suggest your staff, including the manager, are given customer service training as a matter of urgency.

[Merike @merike1985]

Wow. Service at @Popeyes in the Metro Centre is terrible!
Ordered an americano with my breakfast. Got told there would be a 5 min wait at approx 10:15am. At 10:45am a coffee arrived. With milk. Wrong order.
Asked for a refund and none given as it was part of a meal. AVOID!

The STRB has rejected the govt. limit on teacher pay. @NEUnion campaign and industrial action is working. But we are not there yet. There are important questions. What about funding? Keep their feet to the fire. Vote YES in the ballot and post today!

[Nesrine Malik @NesrineMalik]

That’s right Jen (age 11)!

[RCN Northern @RCNNorthern]

Making our voices heard at James Cook hospital @SouthTees. We’re standing strong for fair pay. @theRCNmanifesto

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

It's high time @Channel4 @ITV or @netflix create a documentary where celebrities who hate teachers go in and teach in a tough school for 2 weeks.

[Thomas Lyon🌻💙 @ThomasLyon93]

Wow… if only she knew. Talk to the people on the ground. Our budgets aren’t equipping us with what children need. There’s only so much people can take until they break. #payup

[Merike @merike1985]

More outright lies from @GillianKeegan on ITV news this evening about @NEUnion members on strike.

Say it with me now, the 👏🏻 offer 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 funded 👏🏻

Schools having to pay 4% out of their existing budgets is NOT a funded offer 🤦🏻‍♀️
#EnoughlsEnough #SaveOurSchools

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

Last week a team of @NEUnion members told the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) it is time for a fully funded inflation plus pay increase.

While you’re in the North East @OfficialSting, don’t suppose you fancy coming to our @NEUnorthern rally on Thursday in Middlesbrough?
Your support is much appreciated.

The ballot for regional executive seats has reopened. @sairskay and I are proud to have served on the NEC for the last two years and been so well supported in @NEUnorthern and @york_neu and @NEU_NorthYorks

Please do use your vote when the paper lands.

[Merike @merike1985]

@MollyHallNEU Thanks, Molly. It’s so important we protect EYs as a sector and don’t let conditions for children and staff worsen.

[Amy @amyk21]

A crucial debate on early years education, how it is funded and the safety around the proposed changes to ratios #eyfstagteam #eyfs #NEU2023

[Silverteacher @Silverteacher1]

UM 4 Early Years against cramming more children in with undervalued staff. Current budget announcement is in no one's best interest. #NEU2023

[Callum 🇾🇪 🏳️‍🌈 ☮️ @Callum_SEND]

@merike1985 highlights the "reckless" attitude of the government in trying to implement new ratio changes in Early Years #NEU2023
