@JohnDaBruce @agent_call88545 @EvriDeliveryCom Don’t engage with these people, they are scammers. Evri does not communicate via Twitter apparently. I did this yesterday then received a scam call trying to install the LemFi app for verification and a ‘refund’. Nigerian scam outfit.

@EvriDeliveryCom it has been 3 weeks and I am unable to locate my return, so I have LOST MONEY. Impossible to get help on the online chat or speak to a person. Terrible customer service!!?

@EvriDeliveryCom anyone posting on here be very very careful of @ResponseTe339 after dm-ing my contact details to what I thought was Evri, I received a very dodgy phone call phishing for personal details then asking me to download a LemFi app!!!

@EvriDeliveryCom absolute shit show. No QR code supplied nor a PIN. Not able to talk to anyone….will have to wait to hear back 24 hours later….by which time I will have run out of time to pick up my parcel….

@joel120193 Apologies, I did wonder what was meant by the asterisk and pensions at the bottom there. My excuse? Half-term brain!

@ArwenWebb Hence my asterisk. I didn't include pensions because most people say "oh but you get that back" and it waters down the point. A person on £50,270 would pay £5,127 in pension, so the threshold for HRT would be £55,397.

The median teacher pay in the UK is £49,084. Higher rate tax kicks in at £50,270* People often say "you pay 40% on everything above that" but this isn't true. You pay 42% and if you have a student loan you pay 51%.

Tax wealth not work! Nick Robinson being purposefully obtuse and asking people the wrong question. @bbcnickrobinson #r4today

@inlandtaipan1 @patmcfaddenmp Hard working, bright daughter. Studied law @ Cambridge. Been through a rigorous and blind recruitment process with CS fast stream. I grew up piss poor on a council estate, heroin addict parents, became a teacher, yet I would be seen as too middle class?

@patmcfaddenmp Your decision to limit Civil service interns to working class students is shameful. There are many young people who want to work for the government, with a desire to make the fast stream, that will now have that chance taken away from them!

@EarlsfieldGirl Absolutely agree. My daughter has just been through this process. Very rigorous and totally blind. I grew up on a council estate, parents were heroin addicts, I became a teacher, my daughter went to a state grammar and then studied law at Cambridge. She got the job-works hard!

Ludicrous. Applications are already blind through the stages of the assessment process, so as to focus on skill and potential. This will only serve to starve of talent. BBC News - Civil service interns must all be working class, government says - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@franceshinde Tighten their belts? As is often expected of other people.

@franceshinde Many people are talking about the effect of VAT on falling student numbers and income. Has anyone thought of looking at the expenditure of these private schools? Their expenditure on facilities per student seems far exceed that of the state sector. Perhaps they need to …1/2

You utter bullshiiting liar. They had a million pounds debt before Labour got in. Badly run , poor management .

@SuzanneKirkArt @ArmchairAn4lyst @ROH_London Wow! Was going to ask your thoughts about thousands of children being massacred and starved. But hey I think you’ve made it quite clear as to where you stand on violence.

@ArmchairAn4lyst @ROH_London In fact if Oliver Mears went to the gym, managed to pin the next one to the ground and punch his face a few times I might even pay extra😂

A performer at the Royal Opera House unfurls a Palestinian flag during the curtain call of Saturday's performance of Il trovatore in Covent Garden, London Oliver Mears, Director of Opera at the Royal Opera House, tries to grab the flag from the performer He fails epically

@andyhassan1985 @adamboxer1 I concur. Another question though, what if the school policy is not the best (for students and/or teachers), but merely have been adopted because they are the ‘new thing’ (emperor’s new clothes)? I have been in teaching for long enough to see many fads come and go.

@adamboxer1 Respectfully, carousal is best in your opinion. Obviously. But I hear you about departmental policies.

Leadership question 👇👇

@adamboxer1 Policy is the problem. Too prescriptive and does not allow for professional autonomy. Perhaps Steph’s questions were more suited to that particular lesson/students. There are many ways to skin a cat.

@grok @SaldoSmierci @Graham_Reform @IsraelinUK So Graham? What are your thoughts on that? Also, simple question to answer, is it ok to starve and kill babies?

Recent 2025 polls suggest most of the UK does not view Israel favorably. A YouGov poll from June 2025 shows a net favorability of -46, with 63%-70% holding unfavorable views and only 13%-21% favorable. A Pew Research poll (Jan-Apr 2025) reports 61% unfavorable opinions, up from 44% in 2013. Another June 2025 poll by Action for Humanity/ICJP indicates 55% oppose Israel's actions in Gaza, with 45% calling them genocidal and 65% supporting ICC warrants for Israeli leaders. The claim that most of the UK likes Israel lacks support from current data, which shows strong public criticism, especially over Gaza.

The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival. Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out—especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms. Chants such as “Death to the IDF,” and “From the river to the sea” are slogans that advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel and implicitly call for the elimination of Jewish self-determination. When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence. We call on Glastonbury Festival organisers, artists, and public leaders in the UK to denounce this rhetoric and reject of all forms of hatred.

@MrsHenders4652 @tombennett71 Aren’t examinations, to a certain lesser degree, also a test of someone’s ability to perform, and cope, under a degree of pressure. If you cannot cope with the pressure of an examination, perhaps you should not be sitting them.

@tombennett71 I needed an exam room to myself at uni as I was having crippling panic attacks in exam halls and that allowed me to finish my studies rather than drop out. Anxiety disorders can be exacerbated with exams so sitting in a quieter and less imposing environment was a god send

This is absurd. The vast majority of children can sit an exam with others, and the main reason why so many now think that we can't is because we tell them they can't. Adults need to teach children that they *can* cope, because when we don't, we create children who believe they cannot cope with the normal spectrum of distress that life throws at us. This is crippling them, not kindness. This is not support; this is harm.

@imageplotter It’s apparently the house of god, so just ask them what they think Jesus would think.🤔

Was just trying to book St. Paul's Cathedral tickets for visiting friends. A single daytime entry ticket is now a whopping £26. Westminster Abbey: £29. Just to compare - Cologne Cathedral: free. Notre Dame Paris: free. Florence Dome and Rome St Peter's Basilica: free

@adamboxer1 Would love to…not my decision to make unfortunately….

@ArwenWebb Get springboard

The amount of planning and curriculum development that schools up and down the country are doing is a national travesty a colossally bad use of national infrastructure and resources

@adamboxer1 Is this to save money on expensive resources? I’ve always maintained that schools, departments should buy in resources, then adapt accordingly. Wondering if it’s about saving money?

@TPScheme 2/2….this has been going on for nearly 6 months now. You are an utter shambles,. This has been written about in the media. And yet you do sweet FA, because your contract is about to end. Unions @NEUnion and @NASUWT you are also not representing your members wrt this 👆

@TPScheme Trying to get divorced. Cannot sort out finances because, although I have my CETV, my ex cannot log into his account, has tried phoning you multiple times you never answer, has emailed for new password, you never replied, has written to you, complained formally….1/2
