Australian primary school teacher in London. Gavin Williamson’s worst nightmare.

Hey @Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you – at La Sauvetat-du-Dropt, France

This is the biggest story of our age. Why public services don’t work anymore. Why we can’t stop climate change before it kills us all. There’s been a coup. Corporations have their hands on the levers of power now. Your government works for them, not you👇

Thousands of teachers took eight days of industrial action for a fully-funded, above-inflation pay rise. We've been recommended to accept a below-inflation rise that comes with lots of vague details about funding and efficiency savings. Feeling pretty disheartened right now.

My first Brocken Spectre. Creepy to see it out the corner of my eye and think it was someone else moving

Enough is enough. It's time to turn anger into action. Join the campaign to fight the cost-of-living crisis. wesayenough.co.uk

When many shortages were reported in the old USSR, communism - the system - got blamed. Now that we suffer many shortages, everything other than the system - capitalism - gets blamed. Dont be fooled.

He's going. But this isn't the end. Whoever replaces him will pretend that everything has changed. But the Tory Party is rotten to the core. It only governs in the interests of the super-rich, not the rest of us. We need a general election. We need them out.

Hey #edutwitter I know we are all in SATs mode, but does anyone have any success stories about lifting handwriting standards across primary school?
Hey Twitter, @NurSen2019 @one_to_read @jonnybid any suggestions for an UKS2 book that deals with food/ climate? Wanted to use World Without Fish but it looks out of print now…
