We want to send out massive love to @NEUCambs who have made a very generous contribution to the cost of our gender equality documentary - their support on this project is worth way more than money alone - but frankly the money makes it possible to continue ❤️❤️❤️ @Niamhms23
It is that time of year where we see the scandal of schools that choose to punish families for being insufficiently affluent by deliberately prioritising image over everything else. The only reason for expensive uniforms is to exclude poorer families from the school community.

Let’s not forget the Tories utter contempt for teachers by announcing a pay frieze or real terms pay cut at the very end of a school year in which on top of everything we’ve done to support families & young folks thru this pandemic we’ve done the work of the exam boards as well!
There is no 3% pay rise for the NHS
Junior doctors are not included & nurses will only see a 0.6% increase after inflation
Most importantly the Tories are providing NO FUNDING to enable NHS trusts to finance any increase which will mean imposing cuts to find the money #NHS15
A Caribbean woman whose Windrush father served in the RAF is refused UK citizenship because she was born in Germany while her father was stationed there. The Home Office's actions caused her to lose her job as an NHS nurse. https://t.co/oofmT7VfXU
Big shout out to any fellow non-double-jabbed key workers spending the day in an unventilated public building with hundreds of members of the public in 30 degree heat. Happy Freedom Day!
The sheer scale of infections means many NHS staff are isolating – having been pinged. I spoke to one trust CEO this week who said 25% of their junior doctors were off. 6/8
Emergency care Is already through the roof – with A&Es beating record attendances almost every week. If it wasn’t for the pandemic this would be front page news. 5/8
The modelling suggests that rather declining as fast as it rose (as the spring 20 and winter 21 waves did), this wave will plateau for six weeks – so although it might not be as high at peak, it may actually involve as many people. 4/8
