80-hour working week has ended. Even with two strike days next week, I'll still clock-up 40-50 hours. And I'm an experienced and efficient secondary school teacher. I love teaching, but the job needs to become more sustainable to remain attractive.

Taking the weekend off 🎵

HIGNFY producers hoping BBC don’t find out that Ian Hislop also edits a satirical magazine occasionally critical of government policy.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Meanwhile the combination of right wing bullshittery and BBC management cowardice and politicisation continues … BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash | BBC | The Guardian https://t.co/juUb3sRtz1

Let’s do all we can to make sure @GaryLineker wins Sports Personality of the Year …. With or without a presenter …

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Labour: “The BBC’s cowardly decision to take Gary Lineker off air is an assault on free speech in the face of political pressure. Tory politicians lobbying to get people sacked for disagreeing with Government policies should be laughed at, not pandered to. BBC should rethink.”

[Lee Howgate @LeeHow14]

A few thoughts carved into the wall outside the BBC...

[Sarah Howgate @SarahHowgate1]

I've just signed @DailyMirror's 38 Degrees petition calling on @bbc to re-instate @GaryLineker to #motd #BringBackGary #ImWithGary - please sign and RT https://t.co/bmZxM1OkJS via @38degrees

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

To be honest, I never thought the resistance to an increasingly authoritarian Government devoid of humanity would headed up by the Match of the Day presentation team.

Respect.....

[Brendan May @bmay]

I dunno, state broadcasters having to play sports footage in silence, pulling people off the air because of their beliefs, applying one rule to people who agree with the government and another to the rest, doesn’t sound at all like 1930s Germany to me..

They’ve made his point.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

Gary Lineker makes a comparison with 1930s’ Germany where dissent is silenced.

And his dissent is silenced.

The US has added COVID vaccines to their routine childhood immunisation schedule from 6 months onwards. Will other countries follow? Feel little hope that this will happen in the UK or perhaps even Australia.

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

If government can��t bring themselves to commit to inflation matching pay rises, then commit to 4 day teaching weeks.

One whole day out of class for PPA and subject leadership tasks.

Fund it and reduce workload rather than increasing pay, if pay packets are really the issue.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Just a reminder, the “record NHS funding” includes the billions spent on dodgy PPE, tests, and test and trace contracts…money the NHS never saw.

Genius really. Artificially inflate the NHS budget, take the money for your mates, and then use it as an excuse to let the NHS fail.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years.

Can you spot your MP on the list?

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Here's why more than 90% of @neunion teachers voted to strike, and why there are such desperate shortages of teachers in important subjects. At the end of the Labour government in 2008/9, teachers were paid 1.67 times the national average salary. Today they are paid 1.41 times...
