There are times when I am truly militant, but feel a little ashamed to be a rugby fan tonight. Really? Are we not better than that? #OpeningCeremony #RugbyWorldCup

MEET Jacob Rees-Mogg

His company made £103 million profit over the last 5 years yet paid NO corporation tax, as the parent company is based in the Cayman Islands, even though they operate in Great Britain.

RETWEET if you agree that foodbanks are not uplifting.

Last year @nick8williams suffered a cardiac arrest. If it were not for the quick action of a friend, who knew CPR, and the @air_ambulance , Nick would not be here today.

Here for the first time, Nick tells his story...

@haveigotnews Eedeeeeeeee

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests until the PISA in HS & they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, play, or Arts, but make them sit longer hours, we have it wrong!

@GeorgeMonbiot I post this is any thread about education.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Oh, and while I'm at it, the Westminster government can stick its fronted adverbials up its rear proverbials.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Some aspects of the system, such as SATS in England, could scarcely be better designed to unskill and disarm our children as they face a world of potential tipping points. What we are doing to them at this highly vulnerable stage is utterly crazy.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Please RT for all the paramedics and ambulance staff who are working tonight.

We really could not be more grateful you are there.

@TeachingChap @MrRob1979 interesting thread

[Emma Turner FCCT @Emma_Turner75]

Rick Astley at Glastonbury reminds me of the deputy that’s been at a school for decades & who just quietly & modestly gets on with everything but when something happens they step up & knock it out of the park & everyone goes, ‘wow’ then the deputy just goes quietly back to work💖

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

One of the greatest tricks this government has pulled in the last ten years is convincing everyone that everything is the teachers’ fault.

[Lewis Fogarty @lewis_fogarty]

A Deputy Head of a Primary school said to me today:

The #earlyyears is the most important stage of #primaryeducation. If you get it wrong, you spend the next 6 years trying to put it right. If you get it right, you can spend the next 6 years building on it.

Couldn't agree more

[Bob @bobrmitchell]

The UK has the highest electricity bills, not just in Europe or the West, but in the World…just let that sink in!
But it’s OK, because Sunak says he’s “working hard” to bring them down…
If you’re a Tory voter, give your head a shake & ask yourself why. https://t.co/8YnLKmeqvf

A number of School Leaders have shared their frustration with today’s KS2 reading test.

[Education Matters @edu_matters]

@lifeatthenest So "pass mark" may be lower but that doesn't help the here and now anxiety of the teachers and children. Utterly demoralising after all their hard work. #sats2023
