As a mark of respect I have cancelled my direct debits to British Gas, Severn Trent, Rushcliffe Borough Council, O2 and British Telecom for the next four weeks.

"Every week that goes by that children miss out on education, is a week causing real long term damage." That is nonsense. And I say that with 42 years experience in teaching. This is a conservative narrative.

The Labour Party suspended me for two years in 2016 as I supported Jeremy Corbyn. They then threw me out for two years in 2018. I then informed them I no longer wanted to he a member in 2020. I just got an email telling me they had passed my data onto a “third party” and lost it

I was asked by a PE teacher for a maths book for a child who had a detention as a punishment for forgetting their kit. The day after I went and asked him for a football. He asked why. “Two pupils didn’t do their maths homework so I am making them play football as a punishment”.

Why should nurses support Labour, Labour doesn’t support them? Why should Royal Mail workers support Labour, Labour doesn’t support them? Why should rail workers support Labour, Labour doesn’t support them? Why should University staff support Labour, Labour doesn’t support them?

David Evans GS of Labour said "Labour will work “collaboratively” in “multidisciplinary teams”, which will “adopt a product-mindset using agile ceremonies, be empowered to make decisions and encouraged to focus on rapid prototyping, deployment and iteration”. WTF does that mean?

Sean Bean endorses Jeremy Corbyn for giving the working class a voice. I welcome any person who votes for Jeremy’s party, but this guy is just an actor. He’s no more important than 85 year old Ivy who lives round the corner. independent.co.uk/news/people/se…

Just get this...@Keir_Starmer has told Labour Peers not to oppose the authorisation of rape, torture and murder by public bodies saying voting it down would "weaken national security and human rights". Only 18 disobeyed him. That is now the state of the Labour Party.

Try this alternative form of words: “Can someone tell me how teachers are managing under enormous stress and challenge to carry out their roles within lockdown conditions.” See what I mean?
