This educator has a message for the Chancellor.
The Government faces a crossroads at the Autumn Budget: continue down this road to ruin or restore funding to our schools.
Their choice will determine the future of a generation.
Cabinet ministers + their old state schools = custom trading cards 🎴
Last week, we put 16 years of school funding cuts onto custom cards — each featuring a Cabinet minister alongside the figures for their former school — and brought them straight to MPs at the Labour Party Conference.
🎬 Watch and share.
Where would we be without TAs?
The encouragers, the explain-again-ers, the people who keep our classrooms running.
The funding slashed from school budgets from 2010-2026 is equivalent to 3,396 support staff lost lost.
That’s 3,396 support staff who could be changing the lives of students every day.
That’s 3,396 support staff who could be changing the lives of students every day.
To respect and retain our TAs, we MUST restore school funding.
“Try a week of teaching with the resources we have and tell me we don’t need it.”
Educators and parents can’t keep covering the cost of 16 years of cuts to education 💔
In the leadup to the Autumn Budget, @andyburnham needs to hear what’s happened to our classrooms 👇
“This victory demonstrates that organised educators can win concrete gains for the profession and for the communities they serve."
👏👏 @eduint’s David Edwards on the Government U-turn to fully fund teacher pay.
This is just the beginning: together, organised educators and parents can win back every penny that has been taken out of education 👇

The schools that made the Cabinet have lost MILLIONS since 2010.
Politicians can’t pull the ladder up for the generation behind them.
This month’s Budget is an opportunity for this Government to make right with the schools that made them 👇

£4.5 BILLION is a very long number.
That’s how much has been cut from school budgets since 2010.
Our takeover outside Liverpool Lime Street Station sent a simple message to every politician arriving for the Labour Party Conference.
Restore school funding now. 🚨

We’re making sure no-one misses the big picture: a whole generation denied properly-funded education.
Will this be the Government that stops school cuts?

From the classroom to the Cabinet…
Our action at the Labour Party Conference this week 👇
We showed MPs the schools that made them - and how much funding they’ve lost.
Where would MPs be now if they had grown up in the school cuts generation?

What legacy will the new Government leave for the next generation? 🚸
We sat down with pupils from ‘generation cuts’ to hear about their hopes, their potential, and the opportunities slipping out of reach if school funding isn't restored.
📽️ Watch and share.
We’re with you, Miatta Fahnbulleh MP. On doorsteps and in staffrooms, we hear the same thing:
“Our schools are on their knees.”
53 MPs have committed to restoring school funding, will you join them?
@Miatsf
The Autumn Budget is around the corner. If your MP hasn’t pledged, there’s no better time to make sure they’re standing with our schools 👇

Same job, 16 years apart.
We’re being asked to do more with so much less.
Restore school funding now.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies’ 2026 report offers a stark warning.
📉 Overall education spending close to historic lows
📃Increasing costs of SEND provision
‼️Threats of further real-terms cuts through proposed budget freezes and school closures
@TheIFS
Last year, our school budgets lost £300 million. Since 2010, they’ve lost £4.5 billion.
Together with this report, these figures paint a grim picture….
We cannot allow this to be the future of education.
