As many now know, Ruth Perry, sister of my friend Professor Julia Waters took her own life following the brutality of an Ofsted inspection at the Caversham Primary School of which she was headteacher. This must never happen again. I stand with Julia in the following:

NEW: ‘My headmistress sister killed herself because of an Ofsted report.’ Ruth Perry, 53, a mum of two, died after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate. Time to reform Ofsted? Thank you Julia for speaking to me The Times and The Sunday Times Bridget Phillipson thetimes.co.uk/article/heads-…

My stepdad Chris Packham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife. I stand by him wholeheartedly Pls share crowdjustice.com/case/support-c…

Sunak caught lying about asylum numbers 😡 Sunak claimed that Tories halved the number of outstanding cases since 2010 IT'S A LIE UKStatistics Agency confirms 2010 Asylum backlog was 19,000 NOW Backlog is 166,000 8 TIMES HIGHER + under Tories theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a…

This is why we need to get rid of Ofsted! Unbelievable and unnaceptable impact on a head teachers body!! #AbolishOfsted National Education Union NASUWT NAHT ASCL

Wow! Just look at those heart rates. Ofsted is too high stakes; it causes this sort of bodily stress. There is a better way #ReplaceOfsted #HandInYourCards

🏫 It’s unacceptable that our children learn in schools with crumbling buildings, bursting class sizes, and cuts to arts & sports. ✍️ Email your MP and call for £12.2 billion to start reversing the impact of 14 years of school cuts this year. ➡️ actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-yo…

A few years ago our children could work, travel and live all over Europe. Now they're being told they are 'snowflakes' and should 'do National Service' by a generation that has failed them, failed the planet, failed us all.
