British escape room idea: You’re in a room having a cup of tea as someone’s guest. You have an hour to leave and you’re not allowed to say the words “right”, “well”, “best”, better”, “make”, “move”, “going” or “time”. You are not allowed to slap your thighs. That’s it.

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs. They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

It astonishes me that for 13 years this govt has claimed high standards as justification for its actions. Yet it now wants to lower the requirements to train as a teacher to solve the recruitment and retention crisis it has created. Degree ❌ maths ❌ They are not serious people. – at Cambourne, England

Full Fact
@FullFact2 Oct 2023
MPs’ pay increased earlier this year by around £2,400. This represents a 31.7% increase since 2010, not 42% as a social media post claimed. buff.ly/48BpSty

Every school library that closes means less access to bks for students, less opportunity to explore their interests, expand their curriculum knowledge, have a safe space, volunteer to develop skills. Don't ignore the research! A school library & librarian for every student.
After two very different conversations today, I'm just taking a moment to say: School libraries are not statutory. You cannot assume schools will have one, or that they're staffed. Research by @GreatSchLibs indicates that secondary sch libs may have decreased by 10% in 3 yrs.

Please please please don’t fall for this shameful gaslighting from @GillianKeegan! The reason it has been rejected is due to the offer being unfunded! Schools will have to find 89.9% of the money out of their existing shambolic funding!
The National Education Union has announced its members will strike on Thursday 27 April and Tuesday 2 May. This is after the union rejected a £1,000 payment on top of this year's pay rise, a commitment to reduce workload, and a pay increase of 4.5% for next year. 1/2
