4.2 million children across the UK are growing up in poverty. Today I met with Daniel Kebede, Child Poverty Action Group and Parentkind for a discussion on how #FreeSchoolMealsForAll can help struggling families. In a country as rich as ours, it’s obscene that children are going hungry.

-Unhappiest kids in Europe - Fewer children than ever reading for pleasure - School buildings crumbling - less than half the target of teacher trainees - Biggest retention crisis - Morale in the profession the lowest ever - Ofsted… The list goes on. They’re delusional

Stephen Yaxley Lennon is not a martyr. He has been remanded in custody until his court case next Monday. The case against him is contempt of court for deliberately ignoring a court order. He lost a libel case and had to pay damages of £100,000. He kept repeating the libel.🧵

He is not a martyr. He is a facist who wants to stoke up fear and hatred in our country. Don’t let him win. Turn out for our peaceful counter protest tomorrow.
