Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan". I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support. I do not support the "Rwanda plan". If you don't either, please retweet.

Thank you @ScriptsandCo for a brilliant night last night. Fab to see my radio play “The Woman in the Red Dress” brought to life by S&Co’s talented actors. Thoughtful feedback provided by Zanna and Alex. Can’t wait to come to the next one!

Definitely think you should do this. Would love to see your take on arts and culture.
Maybe I will start a podcast where I review arts and culture in the hopes it gets me free theatre tix

If you are trying to decide whether to do it, just jump in and do it. It’s a really useful course, great value for money and the feedback is extraordinarily detailed!
Two more days until this starts! Thursdays 8pm (or asynchronous recordings) for 5 weeks plus detailed feedback on a piece. A couple of places left. Book now!

A love letter on an epic scale. And a heart-stopping example of what happens when new work is given space to breathe and expand. YOU BURY ME @OrangeTreeThtr was all this and so much more. @painesplough @WomensPlayPrize @EKPshows @forty_fivenorth

So glad I was able to see it. It’s a serious subject but you leave the theatre feeling energised and hopeful!

I love this on many levels as it carries so many messages. Big love @dave_mcpartlin ❤️
I'll never forget my first Ofsted lesson observation, as an NQT, when they said I couldn't rely on this level of energy to engage and enthuse my class as it would diminish as I got older. I hope they get to watch this, 20 years later. 🤔

Thanks so much for this! 😌 Themes of social anxiety & transition to high school. Not yet available on Amazon, I can do both for £10 or just Flower Power for £7! A full-time teacher, I write for enjoyment, but I can struggle to get my books seen. Would appreciate a retweet 😌
Thoroughly recommend this! A fantastic sequel to the equally fantastic Flower Boy. Beautifully written, heartwarming and wise with some lovely themes and messages running throughout. Cracking ending too. @keith_campion

In Jan I produced workshops across 14 schools in Tower Hamlets. We've spent the past two days at @RichMixLondon holding finales - lots of laughing, lots of screaming, many bright futures.

If you think every single MP should be pushing the government into action to save lives in the NHS, RT this please. I will follow back everyone who RTs this. Time for us to get connected 💙

I would recommend anyone involved in education to read this. – at Southampton, England
Does the evidence really tell us that a ‘teacher-led, knowledge first instruction-dominated philosophy of teaching’ is more effective than any other method, as Nick Gibbs says? Well, all depends what you mean by ‘evidence’ 1/tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…
