Take 2 minutes to watch this. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the #DoctorsStrike. Thank you Dr. Hilary Jones MBE.

A Behaviour Story. 📖 🧵 I once worked with a man - let’s call him Bob 👴🏼. When I met him in Jan 2019, he had just come off a PIP (Personal Improvement Plan) because students were not behaving well enough in his lessons - it was his fault (of course) 🙄.

5 January 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Grietje van der Wijk, was born in Groningen. Deported from #Westerbork to the ghetto in #Theresienstadt on 26 February 1944. On 16 May 1944 she deported to #Auschwitz together with her mother Claartje and brother Jozef. They did not survive.

Woman of the Day teacher and suffragette Minnie Glassman Lansbury born in 1889 in Stepney, defender of the impoverished and one of the rebel Aldermen of Poplar who went to prison for their principles in 1921. The daughter of Jewish immigrants - her father paid the £5 fee

6 January 1889 | Dutch Jew Salomon Pachter was born in Amsterdam. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 24 January 1943 in a transport of 516 Jews deported from #Westerbork. Murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

If you are appalled by the Post Office Fujitsu scandal, please remember this next time your organisation hides behind “commercial confidentiality” or refuses a FoI request. The way the Post Office and Fujitsu behaved is cultural and reflects poorly on govt and the public sector.

Thinking hard about our best bets for Year 11 success this summer. Some of things we’re doing are here 🧵:

The Horizon sub-postmaster scandal on HIGNFY in 2021. How come ITV has to make a drama for anyone to notice?

1/ The Post Office Horizon scandal is an appalling miscarriage of justice. It is utterly gutting to see so many families’ lives destroyed. It’s awful to see the Conservative Party weaponising this tragedy to distract from their failure to get compensation to the victims quickly.

Ed Davey was the first Minister on record to meet with Alan Bates, just five months after becoming a Minister. That was seven years after Mr Bates’ first contact with Labour Ministers in 2003. A good 🧵 on the facts here from Tim Farron 👇

10 January 1890 | Dutch Jewish woman Duifie Nykerk was born in Amsterdam. On 12 October 1944 she was deported from #Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz in a transport of 1,500 Jews. She arrived at the camp on 14 October. She was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

📞"DEFUND THE ITV!" "The woke ITV forced the goverment to act!! What will ITV do a drama on next? The dodgy PPE contracts? The sewage scandal? The WASPI women!? This will cost us billions!" Colin from Portsmouth is furious with Toby Jones.

12 January 1893 | Polish woman Agnieszka Wachowicz was born. In #Auschwitz from 1 July 1942. No. 8134 She perished in the camp on 14 September 1942.

12 January 1894 | A Dutch Jew, Levi van Thijn, was born in Alkmaar. In August 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz together with his wife Leentje and their son Marcus. None of them survived.

Hampshire Country Council have opened a consultation on what areas they should cut their services to 1.4 million residents, to ensure they meet their £132 million shortfall by April 2025 - following years of austerity cuts. The options are pretty grim😢 🧵1/

I recall a few months ago how incredibly excited some people were about England’s PISA rankings. I assume the same people will be equally interested in this league table showing the impacts of poverty and poor diet on children, and equally interested in the causes of this.

I believe these are live scenes from the office of the unelected dictator “President” of China. As serious and frightening as the threat from China’s “communist” dictatorship is, it is hard to take them seriously as leaders. Taiwan has elected a new president. Get over it Pooh!

The removal of performance related pay in schools is a big win and it's your win. We've been in talks with Government as a direct result of the strikes you took last year. Talks are continuing on how we can reduce teacher workload.
