Thumbs up from base camp!

Red Nose Day 2021: In support of Red Nose Day the theme in school this year is “Funny is Power.”
Red Nose Day is a campaign with the mission to end child poverty by funding programmes that keep children safe, healthy, and educated.

@WhiteHouse Unbelievably cowardly and despicable. Perhaps try reading a few of the things Jesus said instead of threatening others with things you wouldn't have the guts to do yourself.

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

@BorisJohnson Symptoms also apparently include not being able to remember the rules that you set for the rest of the country once you've recovered yourself.

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

@BorisJohnson Self-isolate over 250 miles from home if at all possible, preferably in close proximity to parents over 70. Repeat as necessary.

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

@BorisJohnson Stay Home. Drive to Durham. Protect the NHS. Come back to London. Save Lives. Go sightseeing. Stay Alert... or the proles might discover the rules don't apply to the Prime Minister's pals

An exhausted doctor told me: 'I've signed 7 death certificates today, and on the news there's still people playing in the parks'. He shook his head as there were no more words.

This hurts to read. Why? The truth does hurt right now, whether it challenges or confirms your views. https://t.co/YwR03HJa0h

I welcome the clarity of this tweet, but responding to ever-changing and delayed guidance this week has nearly tipped headteachers over the edge. Why infer that parents of children with EHCPs can't care for them safely at home?

[Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP @GavinWilliamson]

You should only send your child to school on Monday if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response.

If you are able to keep your child at home, you should.

This may not have been released at the best possible time, but if you want improve something, well worth a read before leaping into action https://t.co/biagAy3fDc

Thank you to Mill O'Forest Cluster, Aberdeenshire, for getting so enthusiastically stuck into Visible Learning into Action for Teachers Day 1 today @MackieAcademy

@PhilipGlanville presenting the Mayor's Music Awards to a rapturous response. Truly well-deserved and well-earned by the recipients

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

Student performers, parents/ carers and fantastic Hackney Music Service staff all about to Pop at the Gala @HackneyEmpire

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

Safe home, Cat, we're proud of you!

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

It might depend on the quality, honesty and depth of the debates, and saying upfront we will need to ask further and better questions if the result is close.

[Kevin McDonnell @StormontHead]

Feeling ever so slightly humbled (but not surprised)

@judypitt3 @mazfinch Judy, after much searching I think you've finally found your walk-on visuals
