Tomorrow in the Guardian, Schools turning to food banks to feed pupils. Human rights watch citing school officials who say children are arriving at school hungry and unable to concentrate. This really cannot continue, Tories must act now, no more inertia and denial...

Responsibility for schools cuts lay at the door of Number 10 & 11 Downing Street. Per-pupil funding has been cut by 8% and there’s more to come. Almost 200 schools have either reduced their week to a four and a half day week, or on the verge of doing so. https://t.co/ydys9zvZ87

gofundme is live! We wish to formally challenge our GB decision to convert our school to an Academy under Ivy Learning Trust. Donations are refunded if they’re not used! https://t.co/qaqlkyIyZC @antiacademies @AgainstEdmonton @ourgoffsoak @olole11parents @warwickmansell

We want to see the NHS taken off the negotiating table in any future trade deals, so it’s not opened up to private healthcare companies who want to profit from it. @tradegovuk @LiamFox when are you going to publish your response to the consultation and let us know your plans?

Despicable human being - the cause of why we are in this mess

Exclusive: Lord Agnew's cost-cutters told schools to save money by cutting pupils' lunch portions, pocket funds raised for charity, and replace experienced teachers with support staff (on term-time-only contracts) https://t.co/p3ERkmyVSI

Maybe he should reduce his salary and of those who surround him.

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

Wow! Lord Agnew’s cost cutting advisors told schools to:

💔cut portions for school lunch!
💔split pupils charity collections with the school!
💔replace teachers with term time only support staff!

Doesn’t this show how low the Govt has fallen in cutting children’s education?

[Hands Off Springfield @school_hands]

Despicable human being to even consider these as actual options 😠😠

THREAD/ 1. We are devastated to hear that the academisation orders will be signed off on Monday, in spite of huge opposition from staff, parents and community stakeholders - and all this in a week when the BBC have revealed how easy it is to abuse the Academy model.

[Minister Of Gruel - Lord Theodore Bumble @OfGruel]

Took on #Panorama on a Monday, Took on a #MAT on a Tuesday,
Cut down lunches on a Wednesday,
Saved £35 million on Thursday,
Made it to @SchoolsWeek on Friday.
Will be quaffing on Gin, Saturday & Sunday.

[Minister Of Gruel - Lord Theodore Bumble @OfGruel]

One was so indulged in @SchoolsWeek that one forgot to pay the invoice for the consultants used for the cost cutting analysis!

What were those names again?🤔 Ones memory is so bad nowadays, I even forgot to put my teeth in for the @BBCPanorama show. 😮
