Been Head of a school of 1000 children for 3 years. The entire time has been spent cutting costs. Gone from 8 Senior Leaders down to 1. Cut several teaching staff. Total cuts of £1 million. It is still not enough and deficit budget beckons. I need people out there to know this.

The sneering, grasping, right wing press will rain vitriol on nurses for voting to strike. But they’re the very best of Britain, the heart & soul of this country. That nurses are being forced to use food banks is an absolute national scandal.

That said, I will spend a lot of this week trying to make “don’t puss me about” happen

Everyone who banged pots & pans, painted 'Thank You NHS' on trains and postboxes, put kid's 'Thank You Nurses' art up in their windows and waved when that bizarre 'Thank U NHS' spitfire flew overhead should now #SupportNurses in their fight for decent, helpful change. NHS Workers Say NO!

fantastic gig Julia Jacklin in manchester, wonderful

Repulsive, sinister and terrifying. This government must be removed from power as soon as possible and never allowed anywhere near it again. bylinetimes.com/2022/11/07/vot…

Why are nurses striking? 💵 Real pay down £4,300 since 2010 🧣 1 in 3 struggling to afford food and heating 🥫 1 in 8 forced to use foodbanks in last year 🏥 40,000 nurse shortfall means brutal hours 🤕 3 in 4 Trusts report mental health crisis #EnoughIsEnough 👊

There are over 600 fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP27 - that’s more than the combined delegations from the world’s 10 most climate-impacted countries. Dirty fossil fuel money & influence should be nowhere near this climate conference - new fossil fuels must stay firmly in the ground

I honestly don’t watch I’m A Celebrity but it seems to me that the most appropriate thing to do with Matt Hancock is vote him off the show asap. Don’t give the narcissist the oxygen…if that’s a thing. #getthecockoff

*EMERGENCY* The landlord of #RonsPlace is selling the building, meaning this unique #artenvironment may soon be lost forever, smashed apart and magnolia'd. We can’t let that happen, and need your help to make sure it doesn’t…1/4 Plz RT

on this date in 1985 Lloyd Cole and the Commotions released their second studio album. What are your favourite tracks from 'Easy Pieces'?

Sorry BBC News (UK) BBC Breaking News Is thousands of people marching in London against the government NHS cuts and privitisation not news? Retweet if you thing the @bbc should comment! #SOSNHS #SOSNHSDEMO

Tomorrow 50,000 junior doctors in England will begin a historic strike to restore our pay. Don't go to work, don't cross a picket line. Stick together, fight together, win together. See you on the picket lines! #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Despite today’s wildly inflated figures from Steve Barclay the full cost of paying junior doctors what they’re worth is just £1bn - a quarter of what the Government wasted on unusable PPE. Full costings: bma.org.uk/media/6665/jun… #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Let’s be clear: ▪️The longest continuous doctors’ strike in history ▪️Record number of doctors resigning ▪️Greatest staff shortage ever seen ▪️500 people dying each week By a long way the worst healthcare crisis the U.K. has ever seen… And no coverage on the BBC Impartial?
