Either the BBC need to sort their punctuation or the police chiefs need to take a long, hard look at their behaviour. @BBCNews #punctuationmatters

Congratulations to Jane, Izzy and Heather who all laced up their trainers to complete the marathon - we're all in awe of your hard work and determination!
We're delighted to announce that together, these brilliant ladies have raised over £16,500 for Maggie's! 🧡👏 teapawt.net/maggiescambs/status/17…

MPs are in line to receive an above inflation pay rise of 7.1%
Yet the government don’t think junior doctors deserve more than 6%, despite a decade of real terms pay cuts
Please RT if you agree health workers deserve so much better

@BritishGasHelp where can I get a contact number so I can speak to an actual person not a chat bot. Parents (aged 85) without heat and hot water since Saturday and because of ridiculous online only system mistakenly booked engineer for next Monday. Have moved it to tomorrow but
I rewatched Children of Men at the weekend. The treatment of refugees, the rhetoric, the hatred was meant to represent a dystopian future. It felt like conservative Britain. #BravermanOut
Today I’m plodding around the Robin Hood Half, all part of building up to my London Matathon next year. I’m hoping the crowds of Nottingham will help carry me round. All to raise funds and awareness for Maggie’s Centres. #robinhoodhalf2023 #maggiescentres #maggiescambridge
Can you imagine having to read a book in this way? Where is the joy? These children have come from primary schools with cosy Book Nooks, book club in class where they talk about what they are enjoying reading, where they share their thoughts and opinions. I know - I teach them.

Around 70 parents and sixth formers came out today to support @NASUWT teachers taking action at @StIvoAcademy Pics are the cupcakes we took. We 💯 support our teachers standing up to @astreaacademies policies. Parents see the negative impact at home. #weareastrea #edutwitter

On one hand, @astreaacademies says they'll "continue to work hard to avoid any disruption to students' education.", in response to tomorrow's @NASUWT walkout at @StIvoAcademy.
While the Interim Principal says "It's pretty much a non-story" 🤷

What was the last thing @GillianKeegan actually did in her role as Education Secretary? I genuinely can't think of anything. She doesn't talk to unions, headteachers or staff. She doesn't address, or even acknowledge, the recruitment and retention crisis. Nothing. #SaveOurSchools
Completely missed the news about the pay award until late yesterday evening, mainly because we had THE CALL. So that was my Monday.

"Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." - Ken Robinson, @KateRobinson89's brilliant father.
What do you think?

"Most staff, including myself are looking for other jobs as the repressive nature of @astreaacademies is designed to implicitly bully experienced staff to leave. It is clear that our experience does not count for anything and that we are replaceable."
