Inflation hits 3% (CPI) today. RPI rose to 3.6% in January, up from 3.5% in December. Schools cannot afford another unfunded pay cut. It will deepen the crisis in recruitment and retention. Teachers (after 5 years) in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 earn 17% less than in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. People voted for change.

No, the idea that you decide to knock it down without discussion with the people whose ashes are in there is. #foreverinourhearts #Grenfell
The idea that it would actually be kept standing forever was patently absurd, surely?

Honestly, the way this country treats those with debilibating illnesses should be a source of national shame. Who can survive on £116 a week?
"I worked all my life, and now I can't afford to live." Statutory sick pay is dangerously low. People with debilitating illnesses are often forced to keep working. With the Employment Rights Bill back in the commons this week, campaigners are demanding change.

Upon arriving in the UK, overseas-trained teachers can be paid as ‘unqualified’ teachers, even if they are fully trained with many years of experience under their belts. Pay inequality is unacceptable. Return your ballot paper today and stand up for equality in all Harris schools. 🔗 bit.ly/40Zxmnp

Shocking racism
Children and young adults escorted onto trains like they are filth. No option or opportunities to defend themselves. Paraded guilty, punished and banished for just being A Traveller. Reprehensible. @GMPCityCentre @DawnButlerBrent @MarkTamiMP @AndyBurnhamGM @AngelaRayner

Strong numbers at the @AntiRacismDay rally opposing Tommy Robinson. This collective resistance sends a powerful message that there is no place for racism, hate or division in our communities.

Today we are so proud of our members who stood against the far right. Educators and trade unionists can defeat racism and hatred when we stand together. #proud2bNEU

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
User has omitted critical context. Mr Kaba was asked to stop his vehicle. However, he did not comply and instead attempted to ram his vehicle through police cars. This ultimately led to an officer discharging his weapon as he felt his colleagues were in danger of being killed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Chris Kaba was shot in the head and murdered by police officer Martyn Blake and he was found not guilty. The criminal legal system is designed to protect and serve our oppressors. We will be holding an emergency demo outside the old Bailey at 7pm today! See you there.
