Summer holidays are here! @ISTAseedtesting reminds everyone the importance to leave seeds and plants behind!
🦠 They can carry pests
🌾 Harm crops
🌳 Disrupt ecosystems
⚖️ Could lead to legal trouble
Protect #PlantHealth this season!

Solidarity with my school librarian colleagues in Glasgow, whose roles are under threat.
School librarians don’t just provide access to books - we provide community and space for our pupils to discover themselves and their interests.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Every time a library is outsourced to a property company, a church, a leisure trust etc it erodes and undermines the service and profession. It’s not innovative and it doesn’t save libraries.

Thank you @TomHayesBmouth for demonstrating that the social value of public libraries is inestimable. Public and school librarians make a lasting difference. Their work is critical to breaking down barriers to opportunity & kickstarting economic growth.
@CILIPinfo @Jonathan4MD
MP for Bournemouth East, Tom Hayes, thanks librarians for their tireless work and their support when he was a child growing up in difficult circumstances, and recognises the role the library still plays in his life, in his constituency and via @commonslibrary.
