Boris Johnson failed our country and now Liz Truss has broken our economy. It’s time the British people were given their say on this shower of a Conservative party. We need a General Election now.

Hundreds of striking teachers and supporters of the NEU Cornwall rally in Truro ITV News West Country

I closed our Cornwall staffing survey last night- thank you to the 320 who responded. I'm attempting to do some proper analysis but here are the headlines!

Update: Not a single Conservative MP voted against the bill. Not one. votes.parliament.uk/Votes/Commons/…

Recruitment is 💯 percent a problem in Cornish schools right now. We need more teachers and we need ones who want to stay and for that we need both schools and staff properly funded.

Today 300,000 teachers in England are on strike because education is in crisis. Teachers work more unpaid overtime than any other profession. Gillian Keegan must come to the table and #SaveOurSchools

Pulling into Paddington with NEU Cornwall members! Everyone’s excited! #PayUP #SaveOurSchools

Caught up with other Cornish teachers, strikers from Plymouth, South West right up to Yorkshire and across London. Amazing atmosphere and an incredible number of teachers who are trying to save education.

Amazing turnout in London today, but it's a long way from Cornwall so we are having a march and rally there! It would be great to see all of you there. Invite your friends in other unions too! National Education Union NEU South West Region

Wow! Just watch this. Thousands and thousands of NEU members standing up for what is right. Be proud. We are standing up for our children and we can win.

I am quite sad to see Nicola Sturgeon go. Her government has made errors, many unforced, but you can’t fault her work ethic, her commitment to diversity, her feminism or her commitment to LGBT rights. She is a skilled communicator and one of the best leaders we have had.

Tonight might be the first time I have ever seen all of #edutwitter in agreement on something- that the offer is an insult, and that we cannot accept an unfunded offer.

BREAKING Rishi Sunak will REJECT the STRB’s recommendation for a 6.5% pay rise for teachers for 2023-24 He claims it is too high

I think when we see the data for 22-23, it will be even worse. Anecdotally, so many people say there are more teachers leaving their school than ever. And yet the government won't do anything to try and retain teachers?

.National Education Union members in England’s schools will strike on 5 & 7 July. No teacher wants to do this, but education is in crisis. If Gillian Keegan wants to stop the strikes, she must restart talks, publish the STRB report & fully fund a decent pay rise. #DoYourJobGill #PayUpNow

40,000 teachers left the profession before retirement. Inadequate pay and excessive workload are just two of the reasons. Time to #DoYourJobGill

These statistics are awful. In addition, secondary school teacher recruitment was down 41% last year. If you have children, aren't you worried?! #DoYourJobGill

There are no negotiations and Gillian Keegan refuses to release the pay review body report going as far as to refuse an FOI because it’s apparently not in the public interest. This is why teachers are strike today because we have to #SaveOurSchools 👉If you’re with us like or
