Our members tell us they are struggling with energy costs and childcare and many are now worried about mortgage payments and how they will cover the rent. Government must act now. The National Education Union is demanding a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise. Post your vote now. #PayUp

I posted this yesterday but I think it is important people realise how corrupt the British Govt is, that they have to use robot accounts to spread their propaganda. You Cannot Trust a Tory Conservatives Andrew Pierce UK Prime Minister

We think teachers can’t afford not to vote to strike. In real terms, teachers’ starting pay in 2022 will only be the same as it was in 2019. Reject the cut, vote yes to action, post your ballot today and tell us you’ve voted. #PayUp #EducatorsDeserveBetter

A typical classroom teacher is today more than £50,000 worse off than they would have been had their pay kept pace with inflation over the last decade. That's why we are asking members in England and Wales to vote for industrial action on #pay.

Wow! – what a powerful report on teacher pay today from @lukesibieta at Institute for Fiscal Studies Kevin Courtney says it is huge support for the National Education Union argument on pay - just as we close our ballot. The Government must listen. Please watch and share.

📢WE HAVE DONE IT! As a profession we have sent a strong message to this Government that we won't stand by and watch the destruction of education without taking a stand. Thank you to everyone who voted. #SaveOurSchools #PayUp

Thanks to BBC Beds, Herts & Bucks and Babs Michel for welcoming Matt Hake and I to the studio this morning. Well done to everyone National Education Union who is at the demo in London. We must keep the pressure on Gillian Keegan as only she can stop lying and resolve this dispute. #PayUp #SaveOurSchools

Good morning stay silly Twitterarty x 🤪😚

Gillian Keegan, Secretary of State for Education is absent from the airwaves. She should be answering questions from the media regarding ongoing teacher strikes and the government's response. Politicians should be held accountable just as union leaders are.

Govt anti-trade union laws dictate that we must re-ballot members every six months to renew our mandate for industrial action. So, from 15 May, we’ll be asking you to vote again in favour of taking action over pay in a statutory postal ballot. Keep an eye on your post. #PayUpNow

So much for the right to peaceful protest #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

I'm deeply concerned that people have been arrested while just preparing to peacefully express their support for a Republic, a view held by 25% of the public. This must stop. It's a basic democratic principle that people have the right to peacefully express their opinions.

Tories SMASHED in Tamworth and Mid Bedfordshire by-elections. (And I feel fine)
