[Putting Carers on the Map} seems to be the mantra this year - who the hell put this memo out for this ? This quote ( cringe worthy ) needs to be added to Bingo Real Carers Week for future ref . Stop it , just stop it #RealCarersWeek #CarersWeek
Not all banking can be done online or phone. For eg bereavement you have to go into a branch. HSBC Sheffield is closed. Nearest branch Doncaster. Furious. How can we stop closures? #HSBC #Sheffield @_OliviaBlake @HSBC_UK @SheffCouncil @Jeremy_Hunt @JamesCleverly

I second that. Took my 91 year old dad who was gripped, and I bawled my eyes out.

Had 50% of my pay deducted in Jun-Jul. My workload is 125% (c 450 unpaid hrs) & I lose 80hrs of annual leave I can never take. Year-on-year. So, I work for free a lot & yet am docked for participating in action short of strike. The system is broken and so am I #settlethedispute

Just going to pop this iconic moment back up to the top of everyone's threads.
It NEEDS the hashtag ✊ #SettleTheDispute
This is so powerful.
Students are finishing university with TBC instead of grades and staff are still receiving punitive salary deductions.
The bosses could have ended this dispute well before graduations.
This is all on you, @UCEA1.

Tory government's priorities are wrong.
If they get their way only the richest students will be able to study cultural subjects.
Sunak was able to study philosophy, the government should stop trying to deny working class people the same opportunities.

Absolutely shocking. @HiltonHotels you need to address this quickly and publically before you are boycotted by female customers, many of us travel regularly on business and won’t want to stay anywhere that something like this is allowed to happen.

Spielman talking like a politician, not an education professional. No mention of learners. #bbclaurak

Parents have made the point that it appears that a current senior DfE civil servant is on Brigantia’s board, and that this should be declared as a potential conflict of interest, though doesn’t seem to have been.

The maths thing. Classy gaslighting Conservatives. 1. Ruin recruitment and retention. 2. Curtail curriculum creativity. 3. Abandon adult education. 4. Belittle those who’ve struggled to succeed. 5. Cast blame. 6. Deliver dishonest rhetoric. 7. Scatter dead cats. 8. Walk away …
