"Don't forget" 14 years of Tory pain summed up in 41 seconds of pure fire. This is like watching Bruce Banner become the Hulk for the first time.

Let’s get this to 100k people. We need change.
So this has taken right off again and I think it’s very much down to @ICT_MrP sharing on FB, cheers fella. If other people could post the link on their own FB pages, would be massively grateful. #daretodream 🤞🏻

Campaigning and voting works. @NAHTnews and @NEUnion members, if you haven’t returned your ballot papers please return them this week.
Reports in the @thetimes (below) that the teachers’ independent pay review body is recommending a 6.5% pay rise. The Gov. needs to get to the back to the negotiating table and work out how they they will fund any proposed pay rise and address teachers’ legitimate concerns about workload, recruitment retention and inspection.

Until we have more information about how it might be funded, the STRB recommendation of 6.5% doesn't matter. @NEUnion and @NAHTnews members, please get your votes in the post! @GillianKeegan needs to understand how serious we are.
