I get the impression that the electorate is now getting tired of the 'they did that' from all the parties and are in fact looking for some hope and answers about how things will change for the better #bbcdebate #generalelectionuk #generalelection2024

Music has always been an important part of my life and it’s a passion I now share with my children.
But under the Tories, so many kids don't have access to the subjects they love.
Labour will make sure every child in every corner of Britain does.

You know the potholes on the roads are ridiculously bad when your 6 year old son sets up his hot wheels track to include "massive potholes" 🤦♂️😂 #potholes #RoadSafety #eastsussexcountycouncil

Thank you to @MattyLewisMusi1 for a truly brilliant trouble shooting some of the walls we can hit, the moderators report and how to ace GCSE music. Pitfalls and easy wins. #musiced #gcse
I'm a 'top of the pay scale' experienced teacher/head of department and my wife works in the NHS part time on a good salary. We can't afford to buy a property anywhere in East Sussex where we work for our family. What a joke. What are we meant to do? #HousingCrisis @HuwMerriman

'Survived' Year 9 options. Always a niggling worry whether we'll get a GCSE class but we got 2 groups! 40+ choosing music. So pleased! That's on top of 2 groups last year too. Never had 4 classes at KS4. Stick it EBACC! #musiced #secondarymusic #gcsemusic #aqamusic #musicteachers

This isnt an offer from Government it is an insult.
£1000 non-consolidated.
4.5% in September
AND UNFUNDED!
I will be voting to REJECT. No more pay cuts!
A teacher in 6th year:
🏴 £48.5k (from Jan)
🏴 £44K (from Sept)
🏴 £39K
Vote no! Full funding and parity is what we need

Christmas is exhausting for music teachers, yet it’s utterly uplifting for the young people we teach and the communities we belong to. Long after school has finished and they look back on their education, it’s these moments that they remember the most. Keep up the great work!

I still find it mind boggling that we can subsidise MPs meals to the tune of £17 million but the government can’t find enough money to extend free school meals to 800,000 children living in poverty.
