@Em_D_Marshall @tomcollinsworcs @bbchw @ChrisBloore @worcscc I’m afraid if you gave WCF a bottomless pit of money they still wouldn’t know how to comply with SEND law.

[Elena Round @round_elena]

Thank you @RightfulLives
This behaviour of councillors is disgusting and deeply offensive to SEN families.
The chief executive of @Warwickshire_CC ought to be appalled of this language and ignorance, utterly shameful

[Rightful Lives @RightfulLives]

Dear @Warwickshire_CC

You really need to sort some of your councillors out.
This thread contains ignorant and offensive quotes from councillors. Please educate them, maybe show them the Nolan principles.

And remind them about hate crime.

[Jessie Hewitson @jessiehewitson]

I was interviewed by @SangitaMyska on LBC yesterday about the middle class SEND parents bankrupting councils line. Before I went on there was a former leader of a council saying basically that everything is largely fine for SEND kids, but the problem is paying for it. (1 of 3)

@CllrMattJenkins @WorcsChildren have been parent blaming for yrs but now have a licence to do so under DBV - watch this space for refusal to assess and failure to issue EHCP s reach record levels.

[Elena Round @round_elena]

@AldiUK much as I love you & your PR team why are you now considering it appropriate to ask to check the receipt and shopping bags of an 80 yr old lady whilst she queued to pay for her shopping ? My mum felt embarrassed in front of other shoppers. Not one apology from store staff

The Government has been refused permission to appeal by the Supreme Court in Bui. So the Court of Appeal decision [2023] EWCA Civ 566 stands: the Department for Work and Pensions has an unlawful approach to refusing advance payments of universal credit, and must change that.

These figures are sobering. As the manager of a very small charity we are overwhelmed, yet we are still delivering a service knowing our service users are desperate for help as public services fail them repeatedly

[Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) @Caf]

Today, we unveil the sobering reality of the challenges facing UK charities in the latest update of our #CharityResilienceIndex.

The findings are stark: Charities are stretched to their limits, with many forced to make impossible decisions.

This is so utterly heartbreaking.

Why are we seeing our Prime Minister stand on platforms with a far right government and say "We hope you win?"

The only thing winning here is death and destruction - and another generation caught in terror under occupation.

Ceasefire. Now.

What’s happened nationally will make all the headlines but locally, it was a torrid night for the Conservatives. They lost *both* Warndon by-elections overnight for seats on @myworcester + @worcscc - sensational results for @worcsgreenparty. It followed the death of Andy Roberts.

@WorcesterCivic @TudorHouseWorcs I wish I had known about this earlier I would have loved to have come to this talk

[The Battle of Worcester Society @BoWSociety]

On this day in 1642, the Battle of Powick Bridge took place, igniting the flames of the English Civil War. A historic conflict that forever altered the course of our nation. @Worc_Reenactors #Worcester #EnglishCivilWar #History #WorcestershireHour
