Under the Tories, more pensioners are:

▪️ In poverty
▪️ Relying on foodbanks
▪️ Taking their pensions early
▪️ Renting into retirement
▪️ Relying on savings just to get by

The Tories still can't say who'll pay for their £46bn national insurance cut.

The Tories fail pensioners.

Surreal exchange with Sunak

Janet Street-Porter, 'Why do you hate pensioners? That's the only conclusion I can come to as a result of the spring budget' Janet Street-Porter

'You lowered National Insurance by 4p.. Big deal.. Pensioners don't pay NI.. Then you froze the tax

Jeremy Hunt hints at another National Insurance cut in pre-election bribe.

Will do nothing for 17.8m adults with income below £12,570.

It is a con. Frozen tax thresholds will increase tax bill. Last cut was of no benefit to anyone earning less than £26k.

What a charmer. Here’s me commenting on how life is getting more expensive and widowhood seems to push the price of everything up, and that makes me a “stupid slag” charming. I hope calling someone unpleasant names makes you feel big and clever. Go well.

RIGHT- I'm getting in the car and setting for a family wedding. Long drive.

I am not sure how many times leaders in education need to tell the DfE that SEND and SEMH provision in schools is in crisis for them to listen. Do we need a petition or something?

Nope. Nope they have definitely not. We have been asking about recruitment and retention, SEND funding and Ofsted. 🤷‍♀️ is this about elections? Another random bitesize bit of click bait? 🤷‍♀️

Sunak's Britain:
Tax cuts for the rich...
Cruel penalties for families caring for the disabled.

Channel 4 News I’m confused.

Are we banning rainbow lanyards, or not ?

We need clarity.

It’s just so important.

“There was never a mention of ‘ban’”, Esther McVey tells Channel 4 News.

In a speech on Monday, Rishi Sunak’s so-called ‘common sense minister’ said civil servants should leave their political views “at the building entrance” and not wear rainbow-coloured lanyards.

as far as i know this guy as never taught on a university teacher education programme but seems to spend a lot of his time whipping up deficit, false narratives about early career teachers and university-based teacher educators. and is now exporting that narrative to australia.

This makes me sad. I used to think that The Labour Party had principles. But getting elected trumps ethics?
Abstaining should be a rare move, and certainly not on the issue of #Sewage !?
