MPs have had 8 pay rises since 2010, while NHS staff have endured real-terms pay cuts of up to 32%. If you think NHS staff deserve better than this derisory 3% rise (0.6% when inflation considered), RT 💙💙💙

Agreed. And we have to start with children, while they are young, helping them to express their trauma, rage, sadness, and powerlessness so they don’t hurt others. Little Voices groupwork begins this. #LittlemouseFindsaSafePlace #DomesticAbuse
'You can’t end domestic abuse without changing the behaviour of perpetrators - and without giving proper resources to the sector' Wise words #domesticabuse

We’re very lucky to be based at Parklands! It’s a wonderful school with fantastic kids who are achieving against all the odds thanks to great staff and a brilliant head, who really care about the kids and their community.
“I’ve built this school on love. I’ve banned teachers shouting at children, I’ve got rid of the dreaded padded isolation cell and given children respect.” The absolute inspiration that is @chrisdysonHT - and exclusions down from 150 a year to just 1. theguardian.com/education/20…
I worked as a dramatherapist with children from Parklands Primary....sadly, before @chrisdysonHT took over. Great kids, doing their best against all odds. It’s wonderful to hear this.

I LOVE #grassroots Football and my community here in #Seacroft @Child_Leeds . I give ALL my @ParklandsLeeds football pitches for FREE to #SeacroftColts so the kids can play the game they love. The Colts opened their changing rooms and kitchen this weekend. This is it now #Cheers

Wouldn’t say crowd funding’s stressful but me & Biddy are only 25! Last day of Big Give Campaign! Go to leedstie.co.uk & donate while you still can! Thank you.
Congratulations!
It’s our birthday - we’re 50 years old today! We’ve got a year of celebrations ahead and as a birthday treat we’ve announced details of our 50th Anniversary Gala. The Gala takes place in Leeds on 4 January but act quickly – tickets are going fast! #NB50 northernballet.com/media-rel…
Appalling!
An appalling fact I learnt just now: At least 135,000 children will be in temporary accommodation this Christmas, the highest level for 12 years. 183 children become homeless every day. That’s 915 between now and the general election and 3,294 between now and Christmas Day.

Conservative Candidate for Broxtowe Darren Henry at a church hustings: "When people go down the foodbank, maybe what they struggle with is being able to manage their budget...they can get a payday loan or something." You fucking what!? Blaming the poor! xitter.cf/HarryPaterson1/status/…

Plenty of people give a shit, but unfortunately they don’t have any power!
Replying to @slunglowalan
If we lived in a time where there were the consequences for anything the elite did the tsunami of public outrage on Vernon Unsworth’s behalf would have forced some humility from the prick. But we lie every day here now and no one gives a shit.
I'm prepping for the #LifeInTheUK test. As a #Polish person, I find the tone of this question jarring, to say the least. The prescribed answer is TRUE.

Sorry for giving a simplistic twitter response to a vital complex question.
Good question. We used to define ourselves by our role in/contribution to society (which admittedly was simplistic & inadequate) now it’s what separates/particularises us, which implicitly supports division.
